Similar anti-Zionist regime scenes were witnessed in Delhi
on Friday, January 2.
India has endorsed international calls for a halt to the conflict, and
promised $1 million in financial aid to affected families in Gaza.
Israeli launched the offensive on December 27 with the stated aim of
stopping Hamas rocket attacks on Israeli towns from Gaza.
Since then at least 440 Palestinians have been killed and 2000 wounded, at least a quarter of them civilians, according to the United Nations.
Foreign powers have increased pressure on both sides to halt hostilities whereas reports indicate public anger in Israel could move Tel Aviv to hit Hamas even harder.
