Tens of thousands of protesters rallied in Dhaka on Saturday, denouncing Israel’s actions in Gaza amid growing unrest that has plunged Bangladesh into a political crisis.
An estimated 100,000 demonstrators filled Suhrawardy Park near Dhaka University, waving Palestinian flags and chanting “Free, Free Palestine.” Many targeted US President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing them of backing Israel.
The protest, backed by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and Islamist groups, escalated national tensions. Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation of 170 million, has no diplomatic ties with Israel and supports Palestinian statehood.

Protests in first world nations in support of humanity is fine.
But when 3rd world nations protesting for something happening half way across the world when their rivers are filled with trash, no proper roads, no democratic government, minority suffering etc, its super funny.
Maybe protest for your basic rights first instead of protesting against random country

More concerned about people halfway across the planet (who also despise them, seriously Arabs are incredibly racist towards all subcontinent dwellers. They would not be doing the same fir you ever) than their own countrymen of a different faith

They didn’t just protest, lol. They vandalised any western store they could find. Including brands that had no Israeli links like Bata. Don’t see how that helps in the slightest tbh.

It’s deeper than antisemitism being the world’s oldest hatred. Jews are the world’s oldest scapegoats too. The more problems a country is having, the easier and more enticing it is to distract by blaming Jews.

Makes little to no sense. The biggest party is setting this up quite likely to make her population mad about something else. It’s a failed country. It would be like Haiti protesting against Israel. I assume Iran paid them money to set it up like they pay for university protests in USA. They think it helps their cause.
But Bangladesh protesting a nation not a single person there has visited I’d useless. This does explain why India refuses to take them in and house them if this is how the population thinks.

Why is this geopolitically significant?

Pan-Islamism is a cancer, everything should be judged on their own merits. Malaysia, Bangladesh caring more about Palestinians than their own minority populations is concerning.

Why is Bangladesh caring more about a war half a world away, instead of its own very poor life standards is beyond me. It’s like „were fine eating dirt living on a $50 per month diet, but killing the Palestynians? That’s where we draw the line“

Isn’t there a muslim genocide going on right next door to them?

Bangladesh is facing a lot of challenges because Daddy Trump cut off USAID, India withdrew from the cross-transshipment treaty, and tariffs have added more pressure. So the ruling party is doing everything it can to divert attention from the real issues. And what could be more distracting than Israel stirring up trouble for a Muslim country?
I don’t blame the people. I blame those in power, who shape narratives just to keep themselves there longer.“
