Japanese Activists ‘Keep Heat on’ Against Gaza Genocide

Palestinian flags are waving in Japan at full speed in solidarity with the people of Gaza and against the Israeli carnage.

Demonstrations are taking place by Japanese people, activists and ordinary folk outside the Shinjuku station in Tokyo to show their abhorrence against the current Israeli genocide against the people of Gaza..

Chants of solidarity were made loud and clear outside the busy station with “free the river to the sea Palestine will be free.”

The station has been the place for the “die-in protest” with many passersby joining in to condemn Israel’s 10-month war on Gaza that sees no end because of the intransigence of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his extreme rightwing government.

Hand-cuffed and blind-folded pro-Palestine activists protested to show in a dramatic way the suffering of the Palestinian people both inside Gaza and inside prison where Israel holds more than 9000 of them in terrible conditions.

The Japanese “die-in protests” are on-going to focus the plight of the people of Gaza and the slaughter they are being subjected to the Israeli military.

The streets of Tokyo last month saw the carnage from an apparent massacre, with the bodies of dozens of victims strewn across the ground, their bodies lying prone or twisted, many of them marked by the signs of blood wrote Anadolu.

But it was instead a “die-in,” a scene to evoke the suffering in the embattled enclave of Gaza, recreated half a world away to protest the plight of Palestinians in the face of a months-long Israeli assault, the Turkish news agency maintained.

Israeli forces have bombed a tent housing Palestinian journalists near Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, killing two and wounding nine others while burning them alive.

At least nine journalists were injured. They are Ahmed Mansour, Hassan Eslaih, Ahmed Al-Agha, Mohammad Fayek, Abdallah Al-Attar, Ihab Al-Bardini, Mahmoud Awad, Majed Qdeih, and Ali Eslaih.

In a disturbing footage circulating on social media, journalist Ahmed Mansout can be seen consumed by fire as people and rescue workers tried desperately to put it out. Mansour is a father and a journalist for Palestine Today.

“(Israeli) Missiles burned Colleague Ahmed Mansour and is still in intensive care, suffering from severe burns as a result of the targeting of the tent where he is sitting in the journalists’ camp at Nasser Hospital,” Wael Abo Omar, a Palestinian journalist in the blockaded enclave, said on X.

Mahmoud Bassam, a photojournalist based in Gaza, said Mansour “needs a miracle” to recover from the severe burns.
