Thousands of people in various countries across the world have held pro-Palestinian rallies in condemnation of the Israeli regime's savagery against Palestinian people in the besieged Gaza Strip.
About 5,000 Australians, by media estimates, attended a peaceful pro-Palestinian rally in Sydney, the capital of Australia's most populous state of New South Wales, on Sunday despite police threats to curb such demonstrations.
The Australian protesters waved Palestine flags and chanted "Free, free Palestine" as hundreds of police patrolled the area.
"We are not against Jewish people," said Mustafa, a protester at the rally. "They have been in Palestine for a long time, side by side with the Muslims and the Christians, we are all Palestinians. We are against the Zionists."
Thousands also held pro-Palestine rallies in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, and in the Victorian state capital of Melbourne.
