In response to Israel's cold-blooded massacre of up to 19 human rights volunteers delivering much needed aid to Gaza, pro-Palestinian activists have taken to the streets all around the world, including thousands in New York, Stockholm and London and across the Middle East; deploring Israel's utter disregard for human life and international law and calling on their governments to act.
On Tuesday the 1st of June 1,500 people right here in Melbourne joined this international movement, from groups such as the Maritime Union of Australia, Students for Palestine, FAMSY and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, and many others.
Following the rally, a coalition of these groups united under the banner of the Free Gaza Movement have decided that further action is needed, so a demonstration will be happening SATURDAY JUNE 5 2PM, at the STATE LIBRARY.
Now, more than ever, it is imperative that we will not be silent. In the face of Israel's deadly raid on innocent, unarmed civilians trying to lift the siege that drives the Palestinian people into dire poverty, WE NEED TO ACT!
