Why

Stand and march with us on the on the lands of the Gimuy Walubara Yidinji nation in solidarity with the people of Palestine as Israel continues its genocidal onslaught on Gaza. Call for a CEASEFIRE NOW and demand an end to the murder of civilians, the destruction of Gaza and the blockade of humanitarian and medical aid.

In two months, Israeli forces have murdered over 20,000 civilians, including over 7000 children. Israeli forces attacks have displaced 85% of Gaza鈥檚 population and collapsed Gaza's healthcare system. Palestinians are enduring an unmitigated humanitarian disaster with severe shortages of food, water and shelter.

Israel鈥檚 actions have been condemned by the United Nations, human鈥檚 rights organisations such as Human Rights Watch and medical assistance groups such as Medicins Sans Frontiers.

鈥淲ords fail us to describe the absolute horror being inflicted on Palestinian civilians by Israel as it carries out incessant and indiscriminate warfare in Gaza for all the world to see.鈥 鈥 Dr Christos Christou, MSF International President

THIS MUST STOP!

We demand:
- An immediate and permanent end to the bombardment
- Full withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza
- Lift the siege 鈥 allow access to humanitarian and medical aid and supplies and essential services to resume
- Release all Palestinian political prisoners and hostages and allow the return of Israeli hostages
- Stop the terrorising and illegal occupation of the West Bank

We remind everyone that the purpose of this rally is to support the Palestinian cause, which is an anti-racist struggle. We condemn and oppose all forms of racism, including antisemitism and Islamophobia. Anyone wishing to express antisemitic views is not welcome at our protests and will not be tolerated.
