Several hundred protesters demand a halt to Israel’s ground offensive in Gaza during a demonstration outside the Israeli embassy in Madrid.

About 400 demonstrators, many of them waving Palestinian flags, chant “murderers” as police look on.

“Boycott Israel,” “Peace” and “How many more have to die?” are among the slogans displayed on signs wielded by demonstrators of all ages.

The protest is organized by a coalition of over 40 peace groups and left-wing trade unions, including Spain’s largest union, Comisiones Obreras.
