"Demonstrations in Israel's main regional ally Turkey led swelling Muslim protests Sunday over the ground offensive in Gaza.

However, a demonstration in Paris backing Israel attracted several thousand supporters.

In Istanbul, organizers claimed as many as 700,000 people had turned out for their protest. Police in Turkey refused to give numbers, but central Istanbul's sprawling Caglayan square was packed with a sea of protesters.

"The bastards of the devil, go away from Palestine and the Middle East," said one banner in English.

Thousands of Moroccans rallied in the capital Rabat, accusing Arab leaders of having failed the Palestinian people.

The demonstrators, about 40,000 according to police estimates, chanted expressions of anger over "the silence of Arab regimes."

Protesters also accused Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak of having "sold Gaza for dollars".

Some of the Moroccan demonstrators trampled on a giant Israeli flag, while others brandished shoes in an allusion to the Iraqi journalist who threw his brogues at outgoing US President George W. Bush last month."
