Activists clashed with anti-riot police in Manila on Saturday (October 5) after they were blocked from holding a demonstration in front of the U.S. embassy in the Philippine capital ahead of the anniversary of the Israel-Gaza conflict.The protesters later demonstrated several hundred meters from the embassy as they burned a U.S. flag and chanted for the end of the bloodshed in Gaza.&quot;We are condemning the U.S. for continuing to supply Israel with weapons of mass destruction. The U.S. is responsible for the carnage in Palestine,&quot; Bayan Secretary General, Mong Palatino told Reuters.The latest bloodletting in the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict stems from an attack by Palestinian Hamas militants&#x27; Oct. 7, 2023, that killed 1,200 and in which about 250 were taken as hostages, according to Israeli tallies.Israel&#x27;s subsequent assault on Gaza has killed over 41,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza&#x27;s health ministry, and displaced nearly Gaza&#x27;s entire population, caused a hunger crisis and led to genocide allegations that Israel denies.<div>(Production: Adrian Portugal)</div>
