Thousands of pro-Palestine demonstrators marched through Sydney on Sunday in rallies held across Australia.
Pro-Palestine rallies swept across Australia on Sunday, with thousands gathering in Sydney's CBD to protest Israel's military campaign in Gaza. Hyde Park filled with flags, placards and chants as protesters condemned the war and accused the Australian government of failing to respond strongly enough.
Marchers held signs reading 'Sanction Israel now' and 'Shame on Israel', whilst others targeted NSW Premier Chris Minns. The crowd moved peacefully through the city centre chanting 'From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' and 'Brick by brick, wall by wall, the occupation has to fall'.
Activist Grace Tame addressed the gathering, framing the protest as a stand against violence rather than hatred. 'This is not about hatred. This is about stopping the violence,' she told demonstrators. 'At the end of the day, we are the people and we have the power.' Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi also addressed the Sydney crowd, directing criticism at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Australia's political leaders. Demonstrations were held across major cities and regional centres.
