"But this year, the October 2 March was packed with Palestinian flags and signs demanding an end to Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. Israel has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and injured at least 168,000 others since October 7, 2023. The march comes after Israel threatened Gaza City's remaining residents to leave or face the full force of its ground and aerial assault, with Defence Minister Israel Katz saying that anyone who stayed would be considered terrorists and terror supporters."
"We feel empathy not only for ours, for those our grandparents died for, but for all men and women around the world who are suffering what at one time we suffered, Edgar Lopez, a 23-year-old economics student, who marched with a Palestinian flag on his back, told The Associated Press news agency. While much of the march was peaceful, some groups vandalised storefronts and threw objects, including Molotov cocktails,"
Mexico City officials estimated about 10,000 people attended the October 2 march marking the 57th anniversary of the Tlatelolco massacre. Protesters marched from Tlatelolco plaza and carried Palestinian flags and signs demanding an end to Israel's nearly two-year genocidal war in Gaza. Israeli forces have killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and injured at least 168,000. Israel threatened Gaza City's remaining residents with evacuation or full assault, and Defence Minister Israel Katz said those who stayed would be considered terrorists. Continuous bombardment has razed Gaza City, killed dozens daily, destroyed homes and schools, and forced tens of thousands to flee. While largely peaceful, some groups vandalised storefronts and threw Molotov cocktails at police.
