Johannesburg - Several thousands in South Africa on Thursday took part in a march to parliament to protest Israel's military offensive in the Gaza.
Protestors carried placards, some lashing out at South Africa's arms industry for selling 'bullets and bombs' to Israel.
In a memorandum handed to a government official outside the parliament building in Cape Town, protestors demanded the expulsion of Israel's ambassador.
The Cape Town-based Workers International Vanguard League (WIVL), one of several groups that organized the march, had earlier called for a boycott of Israeli products in supermarkets.
