„Europe is not doing enough, nothing to stop the massacre,“ Cecilia Strada, an Italian member of the European parliament, told AFP.

The group — including 11 members of the Italian parliament, three MEPs and representatives of NGOs — held signs reading „Stop genocide now“, „End illegal occupation“ and „Stop arming Israel“.

„There should be a complete embargo on weapons to and from Israel and a stop to trade with illegal settlements,“ Strada said.
