300,000 Protest in Australia Against Israel’s War on Gaza

HeadlineAug 25, 2025

Mass protests against Israel’s war on Gaza continue across the globe. In Australia, an estimated 300,000 participated in protests this weekend across the country. This is Larissa Joy Waters, the leader of the Australian Greens.

Larissa Joy Waters: “Australians are horrified that we are selling weapons components to the Israeli government. It’s got to stop. And I’m excited at the sheer numbers of folk turning out right around the country. The voice of Australians is really clear. We want peace. We want sanctions on the Israeli government. We want the aid to get through. And we want those weapons components and that two-way arms trade with Israel to stop.”
