Thousands in Australia turn out for pro-Palestinian rallies over Gaza
SYDNEY -Thousands of Australians joined pro-Palestinian rallies on Sunday, despite police threats to curb them amid tension after the bloody Hamas incursion into Israel eight days ago.
Protesters waved Palestine flags and chanted"Free, free Palestine" as hundreds of police patrolled the area around one of the largest rallies in Sydney, capital of Australia's most populous state of New South Wales. The rally was"peaceful so far", said a group spokesperson, Amal Naser, adding that police had not deployed special powers to stop and search protesters, a move they had considered for the first time in almost two decades.
An official of a Jewish group, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, condemned the rallies taking place"just days" after the attack on Israel.
