Hundreds Protest IDF Soldiers Running in Sydney Marathon, Calling for War Crimes Arrests
September 1, 2026
WELCOMING WAR CRIMINALS WHILE GAZA BURNS.
Hundreds of protesters gathered along the Sydney Marathon route to condemn Anthony Albanese’s government for granting visas to a delegation of 40 Israeli military personnel—including soldiers from the Golani Brigade and intelligence Unit 8200 deployed in Gaza.
As highlighted by @myfalastin , @greenleftonline , and @isaac4balmain , human rights groups and advocacy organizations like the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) are demanding answers on why Australian Home Affairs allowed active and former IDF personnel into the country without character screening or police questioning regarding war crimes.
Rolling out the red carpet for foreign troops who participated in the destruction of Gaza isn’t sportsmanship, it is direct state complicity!
ARREST WAR CRIMINALS. NO IDF IN AUSTRALIA. ✊🇦🇺🇵🇸
