Soon after Palestinians buried their dead, 33 to be exact, following the
5-day Israeli war on Gaza, they held a parade to emphasize that nothing has
changed, and that their right to resist the Israeli occupation will not be
negotiated.

Thousands of Palestinians took part in a massive rally organized by the
Islamic Jihad in Palestine (IJP) movement in Gaza on Friday.

Other rallies also took place in Jenin, in the West Bank, Lebanon and, even
Syria.

The banner which hovered over all of these events was ‘Avenging the Free’,
the same name that the Gaza Resistance had used to dub its resistance
battle against Israeli.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians, not only Islamic Jihad supporters, but
Palestinians from all walks of life, gathered in Al-Katiba Square in Gaza
City after the main Friday noon prayer.

They gathered to mourn their victims; but also to celebrate their
resistance.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza, starting on May 9, killed top leaders of the
military wing of the IJP, the Al-Quds Brigades. But it also killed members
of their families, including children, their neighbors, and other
civilians.

Israel celebrated that its attacks were precise and successful. The posters
of the many children and women at the rally, however, told a different
story.
