Pro-Palestinian protest draws thousands in Copenhagen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMore than 10,000 people took part in a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Copenhagen today, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and urging Denmark to recognize the state of Palestine.
Some 100 organizations including Oxfam, Greenpeace, and Amnesty took part in the march, as well as unions, political parties, artists’ collectives, and activists, including Greta Thunberg.
Police did not provide an estimate of the number of demonstrators.
We are thousands, we are millions. We are all Palestinians ????

Gathering under sunny skies outside the Danish parliament, the demonstrators — many of them families with young children — waved flags and carried banners, chanting “Stop Arms Sales,” “Free Free Palestine” and “Denmark Says No to Genocide.”
A traditional supporter of Israel, Denmark has said it wants to use its current presidency of the European Union to increase pressure on the Israeli government to end the war in Gaza, which Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen recently said had gone “too far.”
But Denmark has said it has no plans to recognize a Palestinian state in the near future.
