'Shut it Down for Palestine' protests outside homes of Defense Sec Lloyd Austin, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
2023-12-26
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The Answer Coalition posted video of Shut it Down for Palestine agitators staging a demonstration outside of Biden's Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's home and that of National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan on Christmas morning.

They blocked the road in front of Austin's home and blasted their demands on megaphones and loudspeakers.

They said that "protesters rally on Christmas morning outside the home of 'Defense' Secretary Lloyd Austin, a key participant in the genocide in Gaza. No Xmas during genocide! End all U.S. aid to Israel! Ceasefire now!"

"Austin we are at your gate!" They chanted through megaphones. "Justice is our only fate!" The protesters had podiums covered with blood emblazoned with the logo of defense contractor Lockheed Martin. They waved Palestinian flags and carries signs saying "Palestine will be free."

Another video they posted was captioned "Austin is threatening war against Yemen and arming the Israeli war machine to the teeth. But the people stand with Palestine! No Christmas as usual in a genocide!"

The group went from Austin's home to that of Sullivan, calling him a "war criminal."

"No Xmas as usual for war criminals," they declared.

The group demands an end to US aid for Israel and to "stop the genocide." The US gives a great deal of funds to Hamas-ruled Gaza, as well. President Joe Biden recently promised more aid if Hamas didn't steal the aid that was currently heading their way.

The next "day of action" for the Shut it Down for Palestine group is slated for December 31. The group has staged protests in cities across the US.

#1  I admit that, to me, a big attraction of this video was the presenter's accent. Nevertheless, there are some interesting points. Especially, why some potential employers boycott and divest from Harvard graduates
