Picture from the Anti Gaza war demonstration held in Athens, on Monday 29th December 2008, following Sunday's demonstrations in several countries in Europe and the ME. Tension escalated outside the Israeli embassy in Athens near 17:00 between members of Stop the War Coalition and Palestinian organizations with police forces who used chemicals.

The demonstration was organized by the Hellenic-Palestinian Friendship, Muslim Union of Greece, Stop the War Coalition, Palestinian and Arab organizations. A group of protestors lowered the Israeli flag resulting in security forces intervention and the arrest of a 24-year old Palestinian, Ahmet Tsuba Ibrahim.

The GCP staged demonstrations on Monday afternoon in front of the US and Israeli embassies. In her statements, GCP general secretary, Aleka Papariga stressed: "Europe is full of Pontius Pilate, literally full. Don't forget that the European Parliament upgraded its relations with Israel a few days ago. This is the reason why it is high time to take to the streets as it happened during the war against Yiougoslavia. People in Gaza are murdered and its is not only Gaza, they want to wipe out hope for a Palestinian state. Israel is not threatened by Palestine, that's the truth. We object to the Greek government's stand as well as Mr. Papandreou's stand as President of Socialist International. It is time we took to the streets in Athens and nationwide to exercise pressure to stop Israeli raids and open the road for the substantial resolution of Palestinian issue. If it is not resolved, escalation of tension in the ME will get out of control. We are preparing further actions to indicate our solidarity ".
