  "account": "Thousands of individuals participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations in various European cities, including London, Berlin, and Dublin, to advocate for an end to Israeli assaults on Gaza. The marches reflected the three-year anniversary of the ongoing conflict, following Hamas's October 7 attack. In London, demonstrators carried signs reading \"End the genocide\" and \"Free Palestine\" as they marched near the British parliament. Aimee Shalan, director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, stated that they were marking three years of continued genocide in Gaza. She called for full sanctions on Israel, criticizing the current Western sanctions that did not go far enough. Since the ceasefire began a year ago, Israel has continued to strike Gaza nearly daily, resulting in the deaths of approximately 1,450 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry. London police arrested 20 people during the protest, including a man and a woman carrying signs supporting Palestine Action, a group banned under UK law. Hibo Hassan, a 23-year-old recent graduate, attended the demonstration to express her solidarity, noting that the events in the Middle East affect individuals in Europe as well. A small counter-demonstration was organized by Stop The Hate UK, a Jewish-led pro-Israel campaign group. In Berlin, around 3,500 people gathered for a similar march organized by the group United for Palestine. Many participants denounced Germany's military support for Israel, carrying banners criticizing Berlin's involvement. Germany has long supported Israel due to its Nazi-era responsibility for the genocide of millions of European Jews during World War II. In Dublin, protesters took part in a march organized by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, following the third anniversary of the October 7 attack in Israel, which resulted in over 74,200 deaths, according to Gaza's health ministry.",
