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.
