RABAT- Tens of thousands of Moroccans, including ministers, demonstrated in the capital Rabat Sunday in support of Palestinians and against Israel's deadly raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last week.
Demonstrators trampled on an Israeli flag and brandished banners condemning last Monday's raid in which nine Turkish activists were killed, and also accused Arab nations of "complicity and silence".
They chanted "Everyone against state piracy" and "Lift the embargo on Gaza", and also "thanked" Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has taken a tough stance against Israel after the raid.
Police said more than 35,000 people took part in the demonstration while organisers could not yet give the number of participants.
