Demonstrators erect a cardboard wall to symbolize the West Bank barrier during an anti-war protest against the Israeli operation in Gaza, in Rome, Friday, July 11. Palestinians and Italian pro-Palestine supporters, a few hundred of them, gathered near the Colosseum on Friday to mark the anniversary of the construction of the West-Bank barrier in Jerusalem and to protest against continuing occupation in Palestinian lands. As Israel intensified its bombardment Thursday of the Gaza Strip in an offensive against the Hamas militant group, neither side has shown much interest in halting the fighting. With rockets continuing to fly, Israel has been massing forces along the Gaza border in preparation for a possible ground invasion. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
