US EditionI Support the Harbour Bridge Protest – Not in Spite of My Holocaust Heritage, but because of It
SYDNEY, NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUL 30 – Organisers expect over 50,000 participants to protest against Gaza's humanitarian crisis despite legal efforts to block the demonstration on Sydney Harbour Bridge.
- The Palestine Action Group organized a demonstration on Sunday aiming to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge to protest Israel's military actions and the resulting widespread starvation in Gaza.
- The protest comes in response to Israel’s military actions following a Hamas assault on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of 1,200 individuals and the capture of 251 hostages.
- NSW Police, supported by Premier Chris Minns, opposed the march, filing a Supreme Court summons to deem it unlawful due to concerns over public safety and logistics.
- Organisers expected over 50,000 attendees and vowed to proceed regardless of the court ruling, while 55 civil, union, and political groups urged the Premier to uphold democratic protest rights.
- The event highlights tensions between upholding public order and protecting protest freedoms amid a broader international conflict involving severe civilian suffering in Gaza.
