Antiwar Protesters Rally Outside U.S. Presidential Debate, Australian Arms Expo

HeadlineSep 11, 2024

In Philadelphia, several people were arrested Tuesday evening as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the venue of the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to demand an end to U.S. support for Israel’s war on Gaza.

Michelle: “I’m definitely not going to be voting for Trump or Harris. They are both war criminals. And Kamala wants to act like she is one of the people, and she is not. She is part of the same administration sending bombs to Gaza.”

Ahead of Tuesday’s debate, Minnesota governor and Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz was heckled by pro-Palestine protesters during a campaign event in Phoenix, Arizona.

Meanwhile, in Australia, hundreds of protesters rallied outside a weapons industry convention in Melbourne earlier today. Police fired stun grenades, rubber bullets and pepper spray, arresting dozens of demonstrators. Hundreds of weapons traders representing at least 30 countries are expected to attend the Land Forces 2024 military weapons expo this week.
