Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli crowds rally across the world on the eve of Oct. 7 anniversary

Crowds are taking part in pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protests and memorial events across the world on the eve of the first anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel. At a rally in Berlin, near the Brandenburg Gate, hundreds of demonstrators set off up the famed Unter den Linden behind a banner that read “Against all antisemitism,” accompanied by a police escort. Memorial events paying tribute to victims of Oct. 7 attacks took place in Paris and London. People took to the streets from Pakistan to Morocco in massive pro-Palestinian demonstrations. More events are scheduled through the week, with an expected peak on Monday, the date of the anniversary.
