#PortlandMaine rally marks nearly one year since deadly Hamas attack on Israel
by WGME Staff
Sun, October 6th 2024PORTLAND (WGME) - "#ProPalestinian protestors took to Monument Square Park in Portland on Saturday, two days before the one-year mark of the Hamas attack on Israel.
"That attack left about 12-hundred people dead, while 250 others were taken as hostages.
"Since then, the #Gaza health ministry says over 40-thousand #Palestinians have been killed in the war.
"#Protestors in Portland were calling for the United States to stop supplying #weapons to #Israel.
"'I am devastated by watching the destruction that's happening in Gaza and now Lebanon, Syria. It's chaos, utter chaos. And we're paying for it. It's my tax dollars that are paying for the weapons that are killing the children and women in Gaza and beyond,' said protester Mary Beth Sullivan.
"And with the election just one month away, we asked protestors how the U.S. involvement in the Middle East conflict is impacting their vote this November.
"''We are very lucky in Maine because we have #RankedChoiceVoting. So, we can vote, for example for #JillStein who is very opposed to conflict in #Palestine and still vote for #KamalaHarris without compromising that vote for Kamala Harris. But I’ll actually be voting for Jill Stein first and Kamala Harris second,' said protester Nigel Calder.
"Protestors in Portland were joined by thousands of others who gathered across the globe on Saturday in support of Palestine."

There were hand-painted banners, and hand-painted signs as well. Folks had just finished painting the banner in Arabic. It's hard to see, but the banner in Arabic had four flags in each of the corners -- #Palestine, #Lebanon, #Iran and #Syria.

One of the speakers talked about how his #OliveTree back home in #Gaza was still standing. His voice broke as he described how unreal the past year had seemed -- that he felt like even the olive tree was perhaps not real. It was heartbreaking. Trauma from #Genocide and #War are real!

#Australia tightens security ahead of Oct 6-7 #ProPalestine protests
By Renju Jose
October 3, 2024SYDNEY, Oct 4 (Reuters) -
"Australian authorities said on Friday they would deploy more police personnel and tighten security measures ahead of pro-Palestine rallies in #Sydney and #Melbourne on Oct. 6, warning protesters there would be no tolerance of violence."The Israel-Hamas conflict has triggered protests from both Jewish and #Palestinian groups across the world, including in Australia, as the government raised concerns that the protests could inflame community tensions and disrupt social harmony.
"In Sydney, the #PalestineActionGroup has dropped its plans to hold a rally on Oct. 7, the first anniversary of Hamas staging the deadliest assault in Israel's history, which sparked Israel's war in Gaza.
"The pro-Palestine group will instead proceed with its rally on Sunday after reaching an agreement with police to change the location and route, and not display flags, portraits or symbols of prohibited organisations. It plans to hold a vigil on Monday."
