Curator's note: This hand-made poster features Eric Clapton on the left and former US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken on the right. The artist is making a moral comparison between the two using the songs each played as evidence of their respective sensibilities: Clapton played "Prayer of A Child" in solidarity with Gaza and Blinken, a rock enthusiast, played "Rockin' In the Free World".

TOKYO: Hundreds of Japanese staged a demonstration outside the US Embassy in Tokyo on Thursday to protest America’s support for Israel and for supplying arms that kill Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
The demonstration was billed as “Action in front of the US Embassy – Emergency Action, Peace for Palestine.”
Four of the demonstrators were allowed by police to approach the embassy gate, where they read statements denouncing the United States and its “involvement in the genocide” against the Palestinian people.
They ended their speeches by saying America brought shame upon itself by supporting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s genocidal attacks on the Palestinian people.
