Along with banners reading “Children are being killed in Gaza”, “Stop the genocide” and “Palestine forever,” the demonstrators carried models of children killed in Gaza.
They also chanted slogans such as “Free Palestine”, “End the occupation” and “Murderer Israel”.
Writer and activist Samuel Girma, who participated in the demonstration, told Anadolu that Israel should not participate in the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Malmö, Sweden on 11 May.
“Israel does not deserve to participate in Eurovision. A murderous and genocidal country cannot participate in a music contest. Israel is a genocidal country,” Girma said.
