ATHENS, Greece — International outrage over the deaths of at least 9 people in a raid by Israeli commandos on ships trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza sparked demonstrations in Israel, Europe and across the Arab world on Monday.
Here in Athens, thousands marched from the Israeli Embassy to the American Embassy and the Greek parliament, fighting with police along the way. Istanbul’s central Taksim Square was occupied by large crowds for hours while helicopters hovered overhead. In Tel Aviv, crowds demanded the resignation of Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak, who ordered the raid."
