Thousands demonstrate in Mexico demanding end to Israel's genocide in Gaza

Thousands of people demonstrated in the Mexican capital's El Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, in solidarity with Palestine. The demonstrators chanted slogans and demanded an end to Israel's ongoing Genocide in Gaza. 

The Palestine Solidarity Committee in Mexico organised a boat march in the western state of Jalisco in support of the Global Sumud Flotilla heading to the Gaza Strip to break the Israeli blockade. 

On Saturday, massive crowds in Mexico City chanted “Palestina libre,” meaning “Free Palestine,” back-to-back during Puerto Rican rapper Residente’s free concert at the Zócalo.
