Protesters in Winnipeg called for a ceasefire in the Zionist regime's war against the Palestinians, and rallies were also held in major Canadian cities. Demonstrators stopped operations on a Canadian National Railway line that was intended to transport products produced by the Zionist regime, which continued until 7:00 p.m. local time. One protest organizer said: "Hundreds of thousands of people have signed statements and petitions in recent days, and despite all this, Canada has not asked for a ceasefire. We want this to happen immediately." The group, protesting amid tight security, called on the Canadian government for a ceasefire. Protesters held Palestinian flags and banners reading "Ceasefire now" and "Palestine will never die." Additionally, at another pro-Palestine rally in Toronto, protesters shouted "Intifada." Some Jewish and Palestinian-Canadian parents of schoolchildren are holding a rally saying the Toronto District School Board is not doing enough to protect students from anti-Palestinian racism amid the ongoing Israeli war. In Washington, DC, dozens of protesters held a rally in front of the White House, condemning the Zionist regime's aggression against Gaza and supporting the Palestinian nation. They held signs calling for an end to the war and condemning America's support for the Israeli occupation regime's crimes of genocide against the Palestinian people. Also on Monday, pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrated outside a fundraiser for US Vice President Kamala Harris in Los Angeles, California. American protesters approached the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles and showed their solidarity with the people of Gaza. In the United States, Jews dissatisfied with the actions of the Zionist regime were at the forefront of many civil disobedience and other protests. Launched by popular protests, they attracted people of different nationalities, religions and backgrounds and rocked hundreds of university demonstrations across the country. In Britain, the group Palestine Action questioned the Zionist arms company's activities on British soil. Blocking Meridian Street and the road leading to the Tactical Systems (UTACS) structures owned by Israeli arms company Elbit Systems, some of these activists called for the closure of Zionist arms factories in Britain. Elbit Systems is the largest Israeli weapons factory in Britain and 85% of the drones used by the Israeli army are made at this factory.
