Israeli-News.com: Melbourne protest at Israel’s attack on Gaza – 30 December 2008
Protest against Israel’s attacks on the Palestinian Gaza territory hastily organised in Melbourne on December 30, 2008. The rally was called by Justice for Palestine and the Palestinian Community Assocation ” for people to support the citizens of Gaza who have been subjected to another massacre by the occupying Israeli Occupation Force”. Hundreds of people, primarily civilians, have been killed with thousands more injured in the bombing and rocket attacks with military forces massing to invade Gaza. Two minute’s silence was observed at the rally which also heard from a young muslim women – a refugee from Gaza. The rally attracted a broad cross section of people, but especially muslim families. Organisers estimated the crowd at 3000, police estimated 1500, while SBS World News estimated around a thousand rallied. After the rally outside the State Library, protestors marched down Swanston Street chanting “Free Palestine” and “Israel Out”. justiceforpalestine.org View stills by Takver on Flickr: www.flickr.com Next Rally for GAZA in Melbourne: Sunday Jan 4 2pm State Library of Victoria Cnr Swanston St and La Trobe St, Melbourne Sign the petition at Avaaz.org to stop the bloodshed: avaaz.org

“An anti-Semite used to mean a man who hated Jews. Now it means a man who is hated by Jews.” Joseph Sobran
“Bring a friend, bring several, bring your neighbourhood.. We want everybody to turn up and show their compassion and support not only for those killed and injured during the present Holocaust in Gaza but through out the occupied lands of Palestine/Israel.”
Holocaust injuries?? Get real, it’s an unfortunate conflict like many others at present, not a holocaust. How do you propose peace, when you instill in peoples minds that a holocaust has happened in Gaza. Stop the moral equivalency.
well belive me jews will never be extinct
“Why isn’t the United Arab governments doing something?” – because they want Palestinians to remain in the shit hole they’re in – they’re political pawns in this sick game. If Israel looks bad, that’s bonus points to them.
There will never be a free Palestine – if Israel disappears, the land will be under control by the neighbouring Arab states or it’ll simply be annexed. It’s a race/religious issue – it offends the arab leaders that jews control a small part of the middle east.
“The people carrying the red flags were probably all atheists!”
Heh – what would they prefer? A socialist Palestinian state where religion is illegal?
How do i get off this planet?…
“When Hamas was elected to power in 2006, Israel started the blockade of Gaza in punishment”
Punishment or self-preservation?
You and those who speak the same words as you can scream “democratically elected government” all you want, but it doesn’t stop the fact that Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel in its charter.
“just go around murdering other peoples elected leaders” – Their elected “leaders” call for the destruction of Israel in their charter. Hamas will not stop until either they are stopped, or until they’ve killed every Jew. Read their charter and you’ll see.
Now tell me, if a bunch of people voted for your destruction, would you not ensure that you, and your people, are kept safe?
“46% of Israelis oppose the war on Gaza.” – Well, it’s great that Israel is a free society where its people are allowed to be vocal on such issues.
“Miguel D´Escoto said on Dec 27…” – exactly right – Israel really should wait around until Hamas gets better weapons to kill Israeli civilians with and they should wait until Hamas kills a lot more Jews in order to make it fair. More Jews need to die for it to be legal, right? These UN elites are such humanitarians!
And the current war and massacre in Gaza just creates more hatred of the state of Israel for many people. It’s time to resolve the stolen land and palestinian dispossesson for long term peace between jews, muslims and christians in the middle east.
Yeah, but we are talking about Israel here! Not about Stalinism or Islam or Nazism. Israel is committing the war crimes in Gaza.
What makes you more Australian than any of us? I was born in Australia from Arab parents and I count myself as much Australian as any1 else living in Australian. Different cultures or values does warrant for an attack on any minority. This is not a protest against Australia but a dreadful situation that affects the whole of Arabia deeply. What happened to the great multicultural nation that is Australia?
fucking drones, robots, have no idea what your protesting..you make me sick
shutup free palestine
My name is not Igor(WTF?) and Im not talking to you but to leftie andy.
a real australian at last!
Of course it doesn’t equate but very close to it. Dont be such a blind fool, just look on the comments already or google “anti-zionist”. Theres a huge bunch of antisemites in disguise of antizionism and you know it.
Now, are you australian? If so when you gonna give back all land stolen from native population? Its about hundred gazas you got there bitch.
andy are you gay? You sound gay…
The video I see here indicates to me that Australia is letting too many immigrants from dangerous Third World nation…
there was a time when Australia had tough immigration laws…
How, er, intelligent of you. Can’t argue against a point so its “dot dot dot shut up.”
Thanks for the video, takerva. The more this genocide in Gaza is put in front of people like some of the posters here and the more they squirm and contort their arguments into knots, the better.
