London, MINA – Thousands gathered in London on ‘Land day’ and the first anniversary of the Great Return March responding to the call of the Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB), Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), Stop the War coalition, Friend of Alaqsa (FOA) and the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB).

Adnan Hmidan, media spokesperson for the PFB stated that this demonstration is in solidarity with Gaza after the last attack and comes at the same time as the one million march organized in Gaza which brought 3 martyrs and hundreds of injuries in the east of Gaza.

Speakers at the demonstration also spoke out against attempts to smear criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic, Palinfo reported.
