!['Sanction Israel, Free Palestine': Sliema Protest](https://maltadaily.mt/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/gazaweb.jpg)
On Wednesday, activists supporting the Palestinian cause gathered on the Sliema seafront to protest against the Israeli occupation and alleged genocide in Gaza.
The demonstration, organized by Moviment Graffitti, Youth for Palestine and the Palestinian embassy, marked Nakba Day, commemorating May 15, 1948, when the state of Israel was established, leading to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
Participants waved Palestinian flags and held placards demanding an end to the violence. The organisers condemned the actions, stating, “This atrocity is being committed with the support of several Western countries, including the United States, France, Britain, and Germany, which continue to back Israel in its long-standing efforts to occupy Palestinian lands and oppress its people.”

This also comes after a Eurovision boycott party, which raised over €1K to be split in aid between the UNRWA and Medical Aid Palestine.
