Against the genocide of Gaza, in Madrid
There was a big demonstration in Madrid today against Israel's massacre of Gaza, with an estimated crowd of 250,000 people.
The demonstration marched behind a banner that read, "Paremos el genocidio palestino", "Let's end the Palestinian genocide".
It was a cold morning bathed in Madrid's amazingly beautiful January light. My wife and I went and I took a couple of pictures. I hope that it did some good.
