While there has been strong sympathy for Israel from Western governments, the Israeli response has prompted anger in much of the Arab and Muslim world.<\/p>\n

\n

Tens of thousands of protesters poured onto the streets in the Middle East and beyond in support of Palestinians as Israel intensified its attack on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for the deadliest attack<\/a> by Hamas fighters in its history.<\/p>\n

Israel has put Gaza \u2014 home to 2.3 million people \u2014 under siege<\/a> and killed more than 1,500 Palestinians. It has also vowed to annihilate Hamas but a ground invasion of Gaza poses serious risk with Hamas holding scores of hostages kidnapped in the assault. Public broadcaster Kan<\/em> said the Israeli death toll had risen to more than 1,300.<\/p>\n

After Israel\u2019s military called for<\/a> all civilians of Gaza City \u2014 more than one million people \u2014 to relocate south within 24 hours on Friday, the UN urged Tel Aviv to call off the order, warning of the \u201cdevastating humanitarian consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n

While there has been strong support and sympathy for Israel from Western governments, the Israeli response has prompted anger, particularly in much of the Arab and Muslim world.<\/p>\n

Scores of people took to the streets in Pakistan with Palestinian flags and reaffirmed their support for the people of Gaza. They also burned Israeli flags and demanded an end to the aggression against the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n
