“They called me a brown cunt and then punched me.” A protester has spoken publicly after being racially abused and violently assaulted by police during a rally in Sydney opposing the visit of Israel’s president. The victim, Ali, explains how police called him a 'brown cunt,' physically abused him and detained him violently. Footage from the Sydney protest against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog shows NSW police officers repeatedly assaulting peaceful protesters, with scenes of punching, shoving and forcing people to the ground as officers surged through the crowd. In a separate incident to Ali's encounter, two officers punched a man multiple times in the head and body while he was pinned on the ground, as other officers sat on him. Police escalated the protest by provoking crowds, pushing demonstrators and deploying pepper spray in an attempt to forcibly disperse widespread opposition to the visit of genocidal Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Critics say the scenes mark a dark stain on Australia, condemning the government for inviting a war criminal, unleashing violence on peaceful protesters and targeting Muslim worshippers in public prayer.

Once again at midnight, the Sindh police violently attacked a peaceful protest organized in solidarity with the Baloch Yakjehti Committee’s Baloch Raaji Muchi and in opposition to the brutal crackdown on the movement. Many of the peaceful protesters including women's were arrested and detained by the police. When the protesters resisted, the police were compelled to release some of them, though more than ten protesters remain detained. The state is showing fake negotiation on one side, while harassing and arresting peaceful protesters on the other. Against these acts of the state, BYC will continue to resist using every peaceful means to ensure the safety and release of the detained protesters. #GwadarIsUnderSiege #WeSupportBalochRaajiMuchi #BalochNationalGathering

Israeli activist Alon-Lee Green was arrested after police moved in on an anti-war protest in Tel Aviv, detaining multiple demonstrators as officers forcibly dispersed the gathering. Green, a leading figure in the Jewish-Arab movement Standing Together, had joined protesters opposing Israel’s ongoing war and assault on neighbouring countries and its escalation across the region, as well as the genocide and destruction in Gaza. Demonstrators chanted against the war and demanded an end to the onslaught, as Israeli authorities continue to suppress dissent while continuing to carry out atrocities. His arrest comes amid a broader crackdown on anti-war activism, with multiple demonstrators detained at the same protest and others arrested in recent weeks at similar rallies across Israel. Following the arrests, protesters were left on buses when air raid sirens sounded. Police refused to allow those detained to enter nearby shelters, leaving them trapped on a bus in the street and creating tense scenes as protesters begged. Rights groups and activists say arrests, dispersals and police force are increasingly being used to shut down protests opposing the war and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, as public dissent continues to grow.

Videos from protests in Berlin show German police violently striking demonstrators, including an officer punching a man wearing glasses in the face and others being dragged and hit. The footage has triggered outrage, with critics saying police used excessive force against peaceful protesters. The demonstrations were held in solidarity with Palestinians facing Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Protesters were demanding an end to Germany’s military and political support for Israel's genocide, including a halt to arms exports, and respect for international law. Critics say Germany is violently suppressing Palestine solidarity and criminalising dissent, using police force to silence opposition.

Toronto Metropolitan students were attacked today in Toronto, while holding a peaceful event featuring Israeli soldiers, hosted by TMU SSI as part of the national “Combat on Campus” tour. Minutes before the event began, a masked mob forced their way into a private venue, resulting in physical violence, and injuries to one of the invited guests, who was left bleeding from shattered glass. Several students were taken to the hospital due to injuries caused by the incident. This attack happened as SJP TMU, an official TMU ratified club rallied just down the street, promoting slogans like "Zionist murderers" and calling to shut the event down. According to Toronto Police, multiple arrests were made, and there are ongoing investigations into the incident. This is an unacceptable violent escalation, targeting Jews, silencing peaceful dialogue, and openly using intimidation and violence to disrupt a planned event.

Footage from the Sydney protest against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog shows NSW police officers repeatedly assaulting peaceful protesters, with scenes of punching, shoving and forcing people to the ground as officers surge through the crowd. The video documents police charging at peaceful protesters on multiple occasions, knocking people over, dragging them across the pavement and pepper spraying protesters who were standing still and posing no threat. In one sequence, two officers punch a man multiple times while he is pinned on the ground, as others sit on him to restrain his body. These violent images are played alongside comments from NSW Premier Chris Minns, who insists police “did everything possible to avoid a confrontation”, creating a stark and damning contrast between official claims and what the footage actually shows. As Minns praises police conduct and denies provocation, the visuals show officers actively escalating the situation, using force and chemical spray against unarmed demonstrators, exposing what critics say is a blatant attempt to rewrite events and shield police brutality. Minns, who has spent the last few weeks echoing Zionist talking points, is accused by critics of being under the influence of Israel, a foreign government.

FIVE MONTHS AGO the ‘Blood Tribe,’ a white supremacist, neo nazi group demonstrated on the University of Wisconsin campus, brandishing rifles, carrying swastika flags, and chanting “Israel is not our friend” and “there will be blood,blood,blood.” The protesters were all white males. Police did NOTHING. YESTERDAY unarmed, peaceful, students demonstrated at Emory University against genocide in Palestine. The protesters were mostly Black and other non-white students. Police tear-gassed, tased, brutalized, used rubber bullets, and arrested them.

"Like a river to the sea." A flash mob in Australia’s Brisbane city drew a large crowd as protesters gathered to oppose new Queensland laws restricting pro-Palestinian expression. Set to John Farnham’s 1988 hit “Two Strong Hearts”, the performance used the lyric “like a river to the sea” as a deliberate workaround to echo a now-banned phrase. The phrase "from the river to the sea" had been widely used by protesters over the past two years in demonstrations against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. It is now criminalised under Queensland state law, carrying potential prison penalties of up to two years, in what critics say is legislation brought under foreign influence via pro-Israeli lobby groups. The song choice turned a familiar Australian anthem into a pointed protest against political censorship. The demonstration came a day before police arrested around 20 people at a larger rally on 18 April, where protesters openly chanted and displayed phrases such as “from the river to the sea”. Those arrested were taking part in what was a peaceful protest, intentionally challenging the legislation. Australians argue the law is targeting pro-Palestinian voices and suppressing solidarity, and critics say the ban is part of an orchestrated campaign by foreign entities against the interests of Australians.

Vance is now complaining that pro-Ukraine protesters “followed” him while he was “walking” his 3-year-old daughter and that they were shouting at him. Meanwhile, actual children in Ukraine are being bombed and killed by Putin—the same man whose war Vance has consistently downplayed.

🚨HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds arrested in Parliament Square in protest organised by Defend Our Juries The arrest of otherwise peaceful protesters is a violation of the UK’s international obligations to protect the rights of freedom of expression and assembly. The protesters in Parliament Square were not inciting violence and it is entirely disproportionate to the point of absurdity to be treating them as terrorists. Instead of criminalising peaceful demonstrators, the Government should be focusing on taking immediate and unequivocal action to put a stop to Israel’s genocide and ending any risk of UK complicity in it.

Australian police officers violently attacked Muslims as they prayed during a peaceful protest in Sydney against the visit of Israeli President Isaac Herzog, with footage showing officers shoving, dragging and throwing worshippers who were trying to finish their prayers. Police escalated the protest by provoking crowds, pushing demonstrators and deploying pepper spray in an attempt to forcibly disperse widespread opposition to the visit of genocidal Israeli president Isaac Herzog. Critics say the scenes mark a dark stain on Australia, condemning the government for inviting a war criminal, unleashing violence on peaceful protesters and targeting Muslim worshippers in public prayer. The Australian National Imams Council said footage of police “heavy handedly” pushing Muslims while praying was “shocking, deeply disturbing, and entirely unacceptable”, adding that it was “outraged” and had raised urgent concerns with the NSW Police Commissioner and ministers, insisting the NSW Government and Premier Chris Minns must take responsibility and ensure accountability at the highest levels. Minns attempted to blame Muslims on national television by claiming there had been a "riot" at the time of the assault, a claim directly contradicted by video footage, as human rights organisations, community leaders and the public condemned the police actions as an unprovoked assault.

Students, staff, and community members at the University of Manchester disrupted a controversial event accused of trying to portray anti-Zionism as antisemitism. Organised as what the university says was a debate between Abdullah Al-Andalusi from the Muslim Debate Initiative and Zionist advocate Raphi Bloom, the event faced strong opposition from protesters demanding its cancellation. Tensions escalated as protesters interrupted the discussion, resulting in confrontations with pro-Israel attendees and security removing several speakers, including a Palestinian. Students and staff condemned the university for hosting a harmful platform, and called instead for an end to institutional ties with Israel and defence contractors.

WATCH: Fed-up Montreal restaurant owner blasts pro-Hamas protesters with garden hose A viral video has been circulating online showing a group of pro-Hamas activists outside this Montreal restaurant called Zante. After multiple attempts to ask Montreal police to intervene and remove the protesters who were blocking the entrance to his restaurant, one of the co-owners decided to deal with them himself using a garden hose. On May 22, three days after the incident involving Zante restaurant and pro-Hamas activists, Rebel News spoke with co-owner Mr. Costa Dimitriou, who explained what happened. Unfortunately, the restaurant received multiple threatening messages and several hundred negative reviews on Google after the incident. On Instagram, we were also able to see calls to boycott the restaurant and to massively leave negative reviews. Mr. Dimitriou therefore had to contact Google with the police report in order to have those comments removed. The restaurant co-owner declined to speak on camera because he wants to move on and hopes the negative attention dies down. Now, let me explain what happened. Last Tuesday, May 19, several anti-Israel protesters held a 24-hour sit-in outside the office of Liberal MP Marc Miller, Minister of Canadian Identity and Culture, right beside the restaurant. When Mr. Dimitriou arrived around 4:30 p.m., the protesters were already there. According to him, they had around three different loudspeakers and were shouting the usual slogans such as, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” and so on. The protesters, who already occupied a large section of the sidewalk, allegedly began moving directly in front of the restaurant terrace, blocking access to the establishment. Mr. Dimitriou reportedly asked them multiple times to clear the entrance and was allegedly told to “f*ck off.” As seen in the footage, protesters also harassed the valet, who is himself Algerian. Costa repeatedly asked police officers if they could contain the protesters so they would stop blocking the entrance and standing directly in front of the terrace where clients were trying to eat. According to Costa, police did not cooperate. The co-owner explained to me that several clients dining on the terrace were disturbed by the situation, and that multiple reservations were cancelled because of the protest. He even had to relocate guests staying at his hotel to rooms at the back of the building because of the noise caused by the protesters. At around 7:30 p.m., after receiving no cooperation from either the police or the protesters, Costa grabbed a garden hose in an attempt to disperse the protesters from the front of his restaurant. That was the moment police intervened — not against the protesters, but against the restaurant owner — warning him that he could not do that and threatening him with charges if he continued. The protesters remained there and were still present when he returned the next day. Costa also explained that he had to physically defend himself after one protester allegedly followed him onto the terrace, forcing him to push the individual back. Based on an image of the protester in question shown to us by the restaurant owner, we recognized the individual as Bara Abuhamed, one of the leaders of Montreal4Palestine previously arrested at Carrefour Laval for unlawful assembly and allegedly assaulting a police officer. He and his father are also known for leading Islamist street prayers in front of Notre-Dame Basilica. As Mr. Dimitriou explained, regardless of the cause being protested, he says he would have reacted the same way. For him, this was about respect and basic decency — something he believes the protesters failed to demonstrate. Online, many people expressed support for the restaurant owner, as a large part of the population appears increasingly fed up with the weekly protests — street blockades, vandalism, disruption of businesses — while police seem unwilling or unable to control the situation
