Thousands of people marched through the streets of Salt River in Cape Town to show their support for the Palestinian cause. The rally was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign and the Salt River Heritage Society and included chants of “free Palestine” and “stop the genocide, stop the hate.” Reverend Allan Boesak urged the South African government to cut ties with Israel, while organizers pledged to reconvene on October 28 to evaluate the government’s response to their requests for an immediate ceasefire, increased humanitarian aid for Gaza, and the closure of the Israeli embassy.
