Thousands of people took to the streets of cities across the world to express solidarity for Palestinians as Israeli violence in Gaza continues to escalate for the seventh day in a row.

Protests could be seen in the streets of North America, London, Canada, France, Australia and many other countries, as they called for an end to Israeli attacks on Gaza. 

In cities such as New York, Boston, Washington, Montreal, and Dearborn, Michigan, people came together to express their support for Palestinians.
