San Sebastian, March 18 (RHC)-- In San Sebastián, Spain, demonstrators rallied before lying down on the ground next to a massive banner depicting part of Picasso’s famous antiwar painting “Guernica.”

An organizer of the demonstration, Bernardo Atxaga, said: “It’s so tough to be a witness to a genocide that we can do nothing about.  We can just bring a grain of sand, even as a tribute.”

Protests continued around the world over the weekend, including in Dublin, Ireland, where protesters called out Leo Varadkar for joining President Biden at the White House.  Other large protests were held in Chile, Norway, Australia, Jordan and across U.S. cities.
