Left-wing groups plan Oslo rally supporting Hamas, Holocaust Center condemns
A segment of the far left in Oslo is organizing a pro-Hamas rally on the anniversary of the Gaza attack, prompting a strong rebuke from the Holocaust Center.
Activists from the external left will gather in Oslo to express solidarity with Hamas, using an image of two fighters waving the Palestinian flag over a damaged Israeli tank. The photograph originates from Gaza on the day of the Hamas-led assault. The Holocaust Center issued a forceful statement denouncing the event. Organizers describe the gathering as a memorial for the victims of the conflict.
Why it matters
The rally highlights rising tensions over the Israel-Gaza conflict and provokes backlash from Holocaust remembrance groups.
