Large turnout at Free Derry solidarity rally for the people of Palestine
There was a large turnout at a demonstration at Free Derry Corner this week to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

The Bloody Sunday Trust has also expressed solidarity with the people of Palestine.
In a statement, the justice campaign group said: "There can be no military solution to Israeli's crisis with Gaza, nor to the resistance that naturally emerges as a response to violent apartheid.
"Any international response that fails to acknowledge this reality is not merely hypocritical but serves to further dehumanise the Palestinian people and deny them justice, peace and equality that they are entitled to.
Interesting that the Bloody Sunday Trust is showing solidarity with Palestine. The IRA grew from the reaction to Bloody Sunday.
A peaceful civil rights movement was getting nowhere before the British slaughtered protesters. British brutality spawned the Provos. And the results are plain to see.
Who would have thought that one oppressed people would support another ?
