Morocco Protests in Support of Al-Quds
Days prior to the Global March to al-Quds, tens of thousands of Moroccans took part in a mass rally in Rabat "in support of al-Quds."
Palestinian flags were flown and "Israeli" flags were burned during the march.
"The people want to free al-Aqsa," the protesters chanted. "A million martyrs are going to al-Quds," they screamed carrying balloons in the Palestinian flag's black, red, white and green colors, and placards that read "Palestinians are resisting while Arab regimes are haggling".
Meanwhile, "Israeli" "Yedioth Ahronoth" paper reported Monday that the "Israeli" diplomat David Saranga, was taken out of a building in Rabat through a side door as demonstrators protested his presence there.
A Moroccan Islamic organization that organized the march unveiled that 100,000 participated in the rally.
News agencies reported Sunday that Saranga's participation in the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership (EUROMED) meeting at Morocco's parliament stirred uproar among citizens and legislators. The country's ruling party boycotted the meeting.
One of the march's organizers, Fatah Allah al-Raslan said:
"The Arab silence on the Palestinian issue is nothing new. It stems from a conspiracy with the occupying power. We do not trust the Arab rulers to free Palestine, but the peoples who still make themselves be heard."
