Edinburgh March For Gaza part 1

Protestors gathered for a large demonstration in Edinburgh to condemn Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine and blockade of Gaza, its illegal apartheid state and its ruthlessness in killing anyone who stands in the way of its plans, whether it be humanitarian internationals bringing material aid like those on the Mavi Marmara the lead ship of the Freedom Flotilla which was assaulted by the Israeli navy on May 31st, or legal observers and other visitors to Palestine who are shot dead or crushed to death by Israeli bulldozers like American woman Rachel Corrie after whom one of the aid ships in the convoy was named. The Freedom Flotilla was transporting much needed medical supplies and building materials to the besieged Gazans, walled up on all sides except for the sea, in what has been described as the world's largest open air prison. The Israeli soldiers are not letting adequate amounts of food in and have also contaminated the Palestinians' water supply with chemicals. They will not allow the Palestinians the means to replace parts needed for the maintenance of a sewage plant in Gaza. No doubt Israel hopes to add cholera, typhoid, hepatitis and all sorts of other ills to the Palestinians' suffering when their systems are already weakened through an inadequate food supply and chemicals in the water. Half of all Gazan children are anaemic. This is nothing short of a slow genocide. Demonstrators all round the world have demanded an end to the siege of Gaza, an end to the occupation and have called on their governments and citizens to boycott produce and ambassadors from apartheid Israel. Shouts of "boycott Israel", "free Palestine", "end the siege of Gaza" and "no justice, no peace" could be heard throughout the demonstration in Edinburgh which gathered at the foot of the Mound off Princes Street next to Princes Gdns and then proceeded to march along Princes St almost to Arthur's seat, passing the American consulate then back along, Princes St, up to the First Minister's house, then back to the starting point at the Mound. This video (part 1) shows the demonstrators assembling, the stalls and flags in the square with organisers encouraging the public through a megaphone to join the march and finally the marchers setting off along Princes St till they get to the far end of the street, chanting and singing along the way. Banners from various political and humanitarian organisations were carried, along with a sea of placards and Palestinian flags.
