Sydney demands justice for Gaza, boycott of Israel
Demonstrators in Sydney have gathered in large numbers at the city's central district, raising their voices in unison to demand justice for Gaza. Undeterred by the elements, come rain or shine, they have been calling for urgent international attention since October 2023..
How many more need to die? How many more children must be maimed in the struggle? How many more need to lose their parents, siblings and family?
Because this is not just their fight, it is our fight. It is a fight for justice, equality and humanity.
We do not just stand against the occupation, we stand against the principle that some lives are worth more than others.

Australia has shifted its stance, backing the UN resolution that urges Israel to end its unlawful presence in Palestinian territories.
While activists welcome the move, they argue it's an election ploy, unless Australia imposes sanctions and severs ties with Israel.
The resolution saw 157 nations in favor, with eight opposed.
It is very clear what they're doing. They're very cynical.
They know that there's an election coming up. They know that many seats that they rely on to hold government have very large Arab and Muslim populations.
They know that there's massive opposition to their policy on the genocide in Gaza, and they think now that making some cynical, tokenistic gesture in the United Nations might be able to save their skins in the next election.

Demonstrators are demanding tough action against Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing him of orchestrating a genocidal war in Gaza and Lebanon that has claimed tens of thousands of lives.
Protesters say justice must be served to end the bloodshed. Since October 2023, not a single Sunday has passed without protesters filling Sydney's streets. Week after week, demonstrators are reminding the world of its moral obligation to act and bring an end to what they call Israel's apartheid regime.
Israel can only act with impunity with the support of international players and international institutions.
So we need to continue to mobilize on this colony until we see liberation in our land.

Protesters are urging the Australian government to advocate for Gaza's human rights amid growing accusation of complicity through silence.
This unwavering commitment by the people in Australia for the people of Gaza stands as a powerful testament to the enduring hope in humanity's capacity for justice and compassion.
