A large number of people belonging to different nationalities and walks of life attended a meeting organised to show solidarity to the Palestinian cause on Saturday evening in Doha, amid the ongoing Israeli bombing of Gaza which has claimed more than 140 lives. Held in front of the State Mosque (Imam Muhammad bin Abdulwahab Mosque), the participants at the pro-Palestine demonstration were seen waving the flags of Qatar, Palestine and their respective countries, shouting slogans stressing their full support for the people of Palestine and their love and readiness to sacrifice for Al Aqsa Mosque. They also denounced what they described as the illegitimate and inhumane practices of the Israeli Occupation Forces against the Palestinian people and using excessive force against them.
