Israel’s Prime Minister pledged to continue the offensive in Gaza.
“We are at war” he said, “and we will continue the war until we have achieved all our goals.”
While the media is reporting the "pause" as a victory for Palestinians, we know the truth: Israel’s war on Gaza is just beginning.
Israel is intent on ethnically cleansing the 2.3 million Palestinians trapped on the Gaza Strip. The bombings will continue, the blockade will tighten and the killing of Palestinian civilians will go on.
The global Palestine solidarity movement must continue to stand with Palestine, now more than ever.
We need to take march for Palestine and demand a REAL end to the bombing; a full withdrawal of Israel troops from Gaza, lift the siege, stop colonising the West Bank, release all Palestinian political prisoners now. We also call on the Australian government to cut ties with Apartheid Israel.

We remind everyone that the struggle for a free Palestine is an anti-racist struggle. We condemn and oppose all forms of racism, including anti-semitism and Islamophobia.
Ours is a struggle against the state of Israel, not against Jewish people, many of whom oppose Zionism, and who have a long history of being part of our movement for a free Palestine.
Anyone wishing to express anti-semitic views is not welcome at our protests.
