PNN – Dozens of pro-Palestinian groups demonstrated on Monday near the home of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
According to the International group of Pakistan News Network, American media have reported that dozens of pro-Palestinian groups demonstrated on Monday near the home of US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Fox News reported that protesters demonstrated early in the morning of Christmas Day near the home of the two top advisers, Joe Biden, and a large number of police forces intervened to deal with them.
The translation of one of the slogans heard from the demonstrators was: “Astin, raise your sleeves and shine, the time of genocide is not the time to sleep.” The People Forum group, which is one of the groups against the Israeli war, has released a video of protesters chanting this slogan.

This organization had previously asked the demonstrators to demonstrate in New York in a statement entitled “Stand up for Palestine, Crimes are cancelled”.
Fox News reported that the police threatened to arrest the demonstrators if they did not stop the protest. It is unclear whether Sullivan and Austin were home at the time of the protest.
In another video released during this demonstration, protesters chant: “From the sea to the river, Palestine will be free.”
Since the beginning of Israel’s military operations in Gaza, Lloyd Austin has traveled to occupied Palestine several times and has played a role in facilitating US military and logistical support to Israel.
