Hundreds marched on Oxford Street and Regent Street, busy shopping districts in the capital’s West End, bringing traffic to a standstill on Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>The demonstration was organised by direct action group Sisters Uncut, began in Soho Square, where protesters chanted “free Palestine”. The rally started with a few hundreds of people reaching several thousands at peak in the afternoon. </p>
<p>The protesters chanted “while you’re shopping, bombs are dropping”, referring to the Israel’s response to the October 7th attacks by Hamas.</p>
<p>They stopped outside two Zara stores, both of which had closed and were guarded by security, urging people to boycott the brand. Some chanted: “Zara, Zara, you can’t hide, stop supporting genocide”.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, Zara pulled an ad following complaints that it contained pictures resembling images from the Israel-Hamas war. The campaign, called The Jacket, contained a series of images in which the model was pictured against a background of cracked stones, damaged statues and broken plasterboard.</p>
<p>The company said it regretted a “misunderstanding” about the pictures, after some customers “saw in them something far from what was intended when they were created”.</p>
<p>Several protesters waved Palestinian flags, played music and let off coloured smoke.<br />
Leaflets distributed by the group said: “No Christmas as usual in a genocide. The UK is complicit.<br />
“Don’t fund genocide in Palestine. Boycott Israel.”</p>
