Pro-Palestine protesters sparked rush-hour chaos in Glasgow on Wednesday as they marched on a busy train station at the heigh of rush hour. The demonstrators waved banners and chanted “stop the genocide” as workers tried to go about their business.
The crowd, numbering over 100 passionate protestors, claimed the station concourse for about twenty minutes before moving onto Renfield Street, eventually making their way to Buchanan Galleries.
They cried “Free Palestine” and “Resistance is justified when Palestine is occupied” as they stomped through the streets waving Palestinian and Lebanese flags. An onlooker mentioned that the group temporarily brought traffic to a standstill on Renfield Street as they streamed into the station.
The latest protest was triggered by fresh Israeli strikes in Gaza following a ceasefire decalred on January 19. According to the Press Association, 400 lives have been lost due to the renewed Israeli airstrikes in Gaza just since yesterday.
