More than a hundred pro-Palestinians gathered in Plaça Cort in Palma on Wednesday evening to protest against the use of the municipal library for a conference by historian Francisco Gil-White, who defends the Israeli position of attacking Gaza after the massacre on October 7.
Protesters chanted pro-Palestinian slogans and accused Israel of genocide, with more than 25,000 Gazans killed in recent months. Gil-White's conference took place without incident inside the library and with a strong joint police presence - National Police and Palma police.
The doors of the town hall were closed in order to prevent any incident. Those attending the talk, among whom were the leader of Vox in Palma, Fulgencio Coll, had to go through strict security controls at the entrance to the library.
The speaker, who is an anthropologist and historian, defends the actions of the Israeli army in Gaza. The event was presented by the president of the Jewish community, Ari Molina, and by the historian Laura Miró.

@JPS Totally agree your comment. How quickly people forget what Hamas have done. Either that or they did not know what started the current war. Around 70 Rockets fired into Gaza. Over 200 Hostages kidnapped etc. Many now dead.
Yes Jeremy we know very well what happened on October 7th. The question of the moment is does that give the Israelis the right to kill over 25.000 and rising, men women and children ( the majority being the latter two) and decimate a territory , which was in effect a de facto country for these people, decimate it to point where it is totally irretrievable rubble . That is the question , not whose fault is it, who is to blame. The question more and more of the world is asking - is this right ?
October 7th, from Gaza, raped tortured and killed 1200 Israelis. These marchers are deluded.
