<div id="divLead">The  Madrid City Council has agreed to name a street in the Spanish capital  “Palestine” in a show of support to Palestinians, whose lands have been  taken by Israel by force.</div>
<p>The decision came after hundreds of Muslim citizens called on the  City Council for a street in Madrid to be named after Palestine.</p>
<p>Reports say efforts are underway to rename other public places in Spain to support Palestinians.</p>
<p>There have been many protests across Europe against Israeli policies  and actions which have forced Palestinians to live under severe  conditions.</p>
<p>Israel has imposed a crippling blockade on the Gaza Strip since 2007 depriving 1.5 million Palestinians of their basic needs.</p>
<p>The impoverished coastal sliver also came under a massive land,  marine and aerial attack by Israeli military at the turn of 2009, in  which more than 1,400 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were  killed.</p>
<p>Moreover, Israel is building illegal settlements on Palestinian  lands and has attempted to drive Palestinians out of their neighborhoods  in cities like East al-Quds (Jerusalem) in a bid to Judaize the areas.</p>
