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.

Pezeshkian also dismissed expectations that Iran would surrender unconditionally, saying that those who nurse such hopes “will take their dreams to the grave.”

Iran on Feb. 28 launched missiles and drones toward Israel and Gulf countries that are home to US military assets. Some of the attacks have caused casualties and damage to civilian sites, including ports and residential buildings.

Tehran says the attacks came in response to a US-Israeli military campaign against Iran that has killed hundreds of people, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and top military officials. Anadolu
