Why it matters:
The resurgence of protests in the Asia-Pacific highlights the growing global discontent with the Israeli regime's aggressions in Gaza and the complicity of Western nations, particularly the United States. The movement reflects a broader call for solidarity with the Palestinian people and an urgent demand for international intervention.
The big picture:
Protests have erupted in Australia, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, with participants demanding an end to the Israeli aggressions on Gaza and support for Palestinian rights. Protesters urged the international community to lift the blockade on Gaza and expedite humanitarian aid delivery to the strip.
What they're saying:
Demonstrators in Australia called for "Freedom for Palestine," while Indonesian protestors condemned U.S. support for Netanyahu's regime and called for boycotts of Israeli and American goods. Bangladeshi Muslims expressed anger over renewed Israeli aggressions on Gaza, urging unity among Islamic nations to support Gaza's oppressed people.
