According to IRNA citing western news agency, protesters gathered in front of the Israeli embassy on Sunday, carrying Palestinian flags and signs reading "Free Palestine, Free Gaza", "Stop the Genocide" and "Boycott Israel".
Some of the protesters called the Swedish government's continued support for the Zionist regime a tragedy.
"The genocide in Gaza is the worst thing that has happened since World War II and the Nazi genocide," a protester was quoted as saying.
The participants also criticized the Swedish media for not reflecting what is happening in Gaza but said that the people in Sweden will continue to support the Palestinian people despite the media bias and the government’s stance on the situation in Gaza.
The protesters likened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Germany’s Hitler, saying the Zionist regime takes the same terrible decisions what Nazis took some 70 years ago.
“I don't understand why the world is silent on the Israeli invasion of Gaza”, one protester said.
