ATHENS (Reuters) - Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Europe and the Middle East on Monday, clashing with police as they protested against the Israeli storming of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla during which 10 activists were killed.

In Athens, some 3,500 protesters rallied outside the Israeli embassy, chanting "Hands off Gaza" and "Free Palestine." Several hundreds clashed with police, throwing chunks of marble, stones and bottles. Police fired teargas to disperse them.
"Demonstrators set barricades on fire, police chased them, there were a lot of stones and teargas and a few people had blood on their heads," a Reuters witness said, adding he saw four people injured. Police said they detained five protesters.
The Israeli marines' action in the eastern Mediterranean sparked street protests and government ire in Turkey, long Israel's lone Muslim ally in the region, and thousands of followers of an anti-U.S. cleric took to the streets in Baghdad.
Police used teargas in Paris when about 2,000 people demonstrated near the Israeli embassy, hurling stones, waving Palestinian and Turkish flags and brandishing banners saying "Long live free Palestine" and "Criminal Israel."
Small, peaceful anti-Israel demonstrations were held in Rome and other Italian cities. "The Italian government needs to immediately call back its ambassador from Israel as other countries in Europe have done," said Paolo Cento, a leftwing politician among the demonstrators.
"This is extremely serious and has no precedent whatsoever in the history of international diplomacy."
Swedish police said more than 5,000 protesters marched from a central Stockholm square toward the Israeli embassy, carrying banners and shouting slogans.
Chanting "Boycott Israel," they held banners saying "Free Gaza," "Put Israel on Trial, "Israel to The Hague" and "Gaza Bleeds."

Where is the outrage in this country? The rogue Zionists state just opened fire on an unarmed flotilla in the international waters and killed 19 civilians, do we do anything about that?! NO. But we punish Iran instead and we will let this atrocities and criminal acts by the Zionists to be forgotten once more as we did with the “Goldstone” report by the UN?!
The Zionists are very well capable of murdering and dropping an A-bomb will not be something too difficult for them to do and not far long to happen.
We are being implicated in these murderous acts once again and we need to let the world to know that the American people are against these murderous acts and take concrete action to punish the rogue Zionist state.
I am tired of seeing my money and taxes being used in support of these atrocities.
