"Sanktion Israel!": 4500 Paar Schuhe symbolisieren tote Palästinenser vor dem EU-Rat (VIDEO)

Campaign activists have set up 4500 pairs of shoes symbolizing Palestinians killed by the Israelis in the past decade in front of the EU Council building in Brussels in order to put pressure on a meeting of European foreign ministers

"We have a message to EU leaders saying:" Palestinian life is important, "said Fadij Qur'an, campaign leader for Avaaz.

Several EU countries, which opposed the anti-government embassy, have condemned the use of excessive force, but no one has taken any special measures to punish the administration of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
