A large demonstration was held in Rabat on Saturday morning. Our intrepid reporter described how the crowd was so large it took more than two hours for the march to pass in front of her hotel on Ave Mohamed V.
They were marching to show their solidarity with the Palestinians. Many of their slogans were in English, no doubt for the foreign press contingent. However the only media present appeared to be local with the exception of Al-Jazeera.
Slogans ranged from 'We are all Palestinians', 'Free Palestine - End Israeli Occupation' to 'Israel Go Out Palestine'. There was also a number of large photographs of Yasser Arafat and Che Guevara flags.
According to our reporter, "It was very animated and everyone had a good time singing and clapping, but also everyone was very self-controlled and well-behaved. It finished promptly at 12.30 so everyone could go home for lunch."
Arab countries need to take action.
Spokesperson, Khalid Sefiani, coordinator of the National Action Group for the Support of the Palestinian and the Iraqi Peoples said, "Arab leadership should pay attention to the fact that it is part of their responsibilities to react against the crimes committed against the Palestinian people. Arab countries can stop these crimes and lift the siege imposed on the Palestinians. Arab countries can provide Palestine with financial, emotional, and also military support; they can also bring international pressure to make the US stop its unconditional support to the Israeli terrorism. Unfortunately, the majority of Arab countries only observe what is going on without taking real action."
