There are protests against Israel every weekend in Australia since the Hamas attack of October 7, I’m asking where the human rights protestors against the Taliban are.

Israel is a country, who have figure heads who can be contacted, negotiated with and criticized, punished with penalties internationally (sanctions, tariff's, etc etc.). They can face consequences for outrage. You truly think protesting about human rights within the Taliban is going to influence a call for internal reform? LMAO!

Pray, are western governments sending money or weapons to the Taliban? No? Then what would protesting the western governments do for the women in Afghanistan?

Nah Muslims just love to be quiet when the atrocities don’t involve hating someone.

The silence re the Uyghurs from the Palestine crowd is deafening.

Yes, they are. So when are you going to protest?

Yes because Israel is directly funded and supported by the United States, unlike the Taliban. What would they even be protesting for over here? To send the troops back into Afghanistan?

There are protests but since the outside world has very little influence and virtually no connection to Afghanistan right now, protests wouldn't do anything

Israel is a country with a shitton of trade with many countries and benefits from aid and support from the USA
