      Thousands of protesters across Palestine, Israel and beyond are taking action to commemorate Land Day, an annual event that protests Israel's decision to take Palestinian land in 1976. Dozens of protests have taken place in Israel and the Occupied Territories today, involving thousands of Palestinian activists. To kick off the annual protests, activists held a "Global March to Jerusalem."

      Actions are also being held across the rest of the world. Zaher Berawi, an organizer of the protests, said the participants of the march plan to "besiege Israel and its embassies over the world." Protests and marches are planned in Lebanon, Egypt, Syria and across Europe.
