\nThe Israeli genocide continues, and people around the world return to the streets to protest and to try to end it.<\/p>\n
\nIn Australia on August 3<\/a>, hundreds of thousands of people came out in the rain and shut down the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Since October 7, 2023, there have been weekly rallies in Sydney and across Australia. Yet August 3 saw broadener sections of the population mobilize in support of Palestine. Historic numbers of community groups, trade unions and political organizations endorsed the action while a number of NSW politicians \u2013\u00a0including\u00a0from the Minns government \u2013 backed the historic \u201cMarch for Humanity\u201d.<\/p>\n \nAgain, on August 24<\/a>, pro-Palestinian rallies took place across Australia with large turnouts in state capitals Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. The Palestine Action Group said around 350,000 attended the rallies nationwide, including around 50,000 in Brisbane.<\/p>\n \nIn London on August 9<\/a>, an estimated 300,000 people marched through the center of the city for the 28th\u00a0national demonstration for Palestine since October 2023. Along with the usual array of placards taking aim at Prime Minister Starmer and calling for action, there were noticeably more signs relating to the clampdown on democratic rights and civil liberties. The huge number of banners of local groups from across the country showed the truly national character of the march. <\/p>\n \nThe London march took place despite efforts of the government to stop it, forbidding support for Palestine Action. Over 800 people gathered in Parliament Square to defy the proscription of Palestine Action, and the Met Police arrested 466 people \u2013 including a blind man in a wheelchair and a 90-year-old woman.<\/p>\n \nThanks to the public pressure, the Australian government has announced it will recognize a Palestinian state. Many other governments are doing the same, including the UK despite its opposition to the pro-Palestinian demonstrations.<\/p>\n \nIn Israel on August 17<\/a>, The largest Israeli protest to date took place. About 500,000 people marched in Tel Aviv to demand an end to the war in Gaza and organizers say 1 million took part in demonstrations across the entire country. Most of the Israelis who were out on the streets \u201cblame Netanyahu\u201d for prioritizing his political survival over an end to the war. As one demonstrator told Democracy Now, “Last week, we decided to call to everyone in Israel, to all the citizens, to stop, take a day and stop all the country, in one saying: Please release the hostages, bring them home, and stop the war.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \nAgain on August 26<\/a>, Tens of thousands of people took part in demonstrations across Israel, blocking highways on a \u201cday of disruption\u201d that aimed to push\u00a0Benjamin Netanyahu\u00a0into agreeing a deal to end the war and calling off plans to attack Gaza City. Relatives of hostages led the biggest march and rally in Tel Aviv, while in Jerusalem hundreds of people gathered outside the prime minister\u2019s office as the security cabinet met to discuss the war. There were dozens of other protests around the country, including on the main highway to the northern city of Haifa and inside Ben Gurion airport.<\/p>\n \nOne country is refusing to recognize a Palestinian state. The Israeli genocide cannot continue without the support of Donald Trump and the US government. For that reason, it is important that the Trump policies are coming under increasing opposition in the United States. <\/p>\n \nHundreds of organizations <\/a> are joining forces this fall to confront Trump & billionaire allies nationwide in the US, marking an historic collaboration of movements. Make Billionaires Pay\u00a0is being convened by Desis Rising Up and Moving (DRUM), Women\u2019s March, Climate Defenders, and\u00a0350.org, with over 100 endorsing organizations. It is part of a global week of action for climate justice, called \u201cDraw the Line\u201d (convened by\u00a0350.org, Demand Climate Justice, Climate Action Network and War on Want).<\/p>\n \nAlso, unions and progressive organizations <\/a> are planning nearly 1,000 \u201cWorkers Over Billionaires\u201d demonstrations across the United States this Labor Day to protest President Donald Trump\u2019s assault on workers\u2019 rights. The day of national action has been organized by the\u00a0May Day Strong coalition, which includes labor organizations like the AFL-CIO, American Federation of Teachers, and National Union of Healthcare Workers, as well as advocacy groups like Americans for Tax Fairness, Indivisible<\/a>, Our Revolution, and\u00a0Public Citizen.<\/p>\n \nAt CPNN we believe that we must do all we can to express our solidarity with the people of Gaza <\/a> and to stop and prevent the war crimes and genocide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
