The massacres that have occurred in Gaza have galvanized the world opinion against Israel and the grassroots support for the Palestinian cause is rising in the United States, Canada and the European Union, says an activist.

“The Israeli apartheid regime is beginning to unravel as did the apartheid regime in South Africa,” Bruce Katz, the co-president of Palestinian and Jewish Unity, told Press TV on Friday.

Katz said that the Israeli Knesset had recently passed a law to make filming Israeli troops and their actions illegal, stressing that the move would give a blank check to the Israeli forces "to kill as many Palestinians as they like".

Protests along the Gaza fence since March 30 have led to clashes with Israeli forces in which dozens of Palestinians have lost their lives and hundreds of others sustained injuries.
