The Gaza war has sparked protests, demonstrations, and vigils around the world.[19] These protests focused on a variety of issues related to the conflict, including demands for a ceasefire, an end to the Israeli blockade and occupation, return of Israeli hostages, protesting war crimes, ending U.S support for Israel and providing humanitarian aid to Gaza. Since the war began on 7 October 2023, the death toll has exceeded 50,000.[20]

Some of the protests have resulted in violence and accusations of antisemitism and anti-Palestinianism.[21][22][23] In some European countries and Palestine itself, protestors were criminalized, with countries such as France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Hungary restricting pro-Palestinian political speech while Hamas in Gaza tortured and executed anti-Hamas demonstrators.[24][25] The conflict also sparked large protests at Israeli and U.S. embassies around the world.[26]

Research by the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project indicated that from 7 October to 24 November 2023, there were at least 7,283 pro-Palestinian protests and 845 pro-Israel protests around the world.[27]
