Tens of thousands took to Sydney’s Harbour Bridge today, rallying passionately in the rain for peace and humanitarian relief in Gaza. With hunger and hardship escalating in the region, demonstrators urged immediate international action. The massive protest saw significantly more participants than the organisers’ estimate, as 90,000 people heeded the call.

 

The march gained momentum with support from high-profile figures, including the likes of Julian Assange. As tensions mount globally, protesters highlighted the pressing humanitarian issues affecting millions in Gaza. Chanting for peace and aid, they hoped to amplify their message amid worldwide diplomatic efforts pressuring Israel.

 

With banners and placards waving, the marchers lined the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, showcasing unity and determination. Many expressed sorrow and urgency, stressing the need for immediate solutions to the ongoing crisis. As the demonstration unfolded, it painted a vivid picture of solidarity and compassion for those suffering in Gaza.

Instead why don't they demand Hamas give up all hostages and give themselves up?  Have these bright people ever thought why Hamas keeps holding the hostages and starving them to death if they are not already dead?

What people don't seem to realize, the Muslim religion hates infidels, al non-muslim people.  They are trained to make like the they like you, but when their front door closes, you are dead to them.  It is really amazing the amount of women siding with them, considering if they were living in a Muslim country, they would be 2nd class citizens.  Take a look at Mosque pictures, how many women do you see, 0.  Yet you swallow their rhetoric, and may have to pay down the road. SAD

 

This happened two weeks ago. Hamas flags were in the crowd. I wonder why CNN failed to mention this.

I’m sure 99.9%of those people wholeheartedly agree with hammas giving up the hostages and surrendering no doubt about that …… I think like most folks they are horrified by BBs herding people around starving them then taking pot shots at them when they try to get food.perhaps that’s an oversimplification but it’s certainly the perception.

Hamas hijack donated food and sell it back to the Gazans. No Hamas then no moving people around and no hunger.

And that is exactly what Hamas wants, Aljazeera there filming it as propaganda as Hamas shoots their own people.
