Pro-Palestine protesters converge on US consulate in Sydney
Protesters gather outside the US Consulate in Sydney, calling for an immediate end to US military aid to Israel.
Carrying signs reading 'stop arming genocide' and chanting for a free Palestine, they criticized the role of American foreign policy in supporting what they described as violence and oppression against Palestinians.
Trump! He will just give them the green light to go ahead and continue genocide with impunity to steal land, and he will give the green light for full out annexation of Palestine and extermination of the people on the land if they don't find means of removing themselves.

The demonstrators expressed outrage at Donald Trump's close alliance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, labeling their partnership as one that enables the systematic destruction of Palestinian lives and rights.
Many protesters highlighted Trump's vocal support for Israel's actions in Gaza, which they described as genocide.
What the Trump administration will do in the Middle East will undoubtedly result in the further oppression of the Palestinians.
In recent days, of course, you know, we've seen a ceasefire deal, which Trump has come out and tried to claim credit for.
And yet, today, in his inauguration, one of his first acts was to pardon a bunch of extremist settlers, extremist Israeli settlers, who are known to have committed violent acts against Palestinians in the act of dispossessing their homes.

Criticism wasn't limited to Trump and Netanyahu.
Protesters also focused on Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, accusing him of succumbing to US influence by supporting the AUKUS military alliance.
They argued that Albanese alignment with American imperialist policies makes Australia complicit in the global militarism that sustains Israel's actions against Palestinians.
Demonstrators say this protest isn't just about Trump. It's a broader stand against US-Israeli ties and Australia's complicity in their war crimes.
