Perth - hasn't even begun yet and far bigger than the last one I was at two weeks ago. The Harbour Bridge in Sydney and the Story Bridge non approval in Brisbane have raised and kept attention. The cross section of community now engaged is a positive #FreePalestine
❤️🇵🇸
Soaking wet today too
Thank you my friend 🇵🇸♥
🇵🇸❤️🖤🤍💚🍉
Please, help me. My child needs a respirator urgently. My child is very tired. My child cries a lot. He cannot breathe. He needs this device urgently. Please help me. 🙏😭😭😭My child has difficulty breathing and his body turns blue, causing him to suffocate. Please help me save my child. 😭😭😭😭
The police and states consistently fail to understand that repressive tactics simply fuel the fire.
Everybody came prepared for the rain that's expected #SanctionIsrael
Having seem these protests ebb and flow over the months, and fill disclosure, not getting to every one myself, and Perth being a generally apathetic city when it comes to protests (not the readership here, but general pop), today is heartening #EndTheGenocide

We had the same heartening experience today in Brisbane. Been to many since 2yrs ago (close enough) it was the best turnout in today So proud of all who came out. September 17th is the next rally. Brís had a snap action at central station about a month ago and over 1000 came out too
Yes!!!!! Awesome turnout
I’ve been to a few and this one was the most energised. And in footy season! Great multicultural crowd- really well behaved and friendly. Very proud of Dr Chantelle who spoke so movingly about working in Gaza. Find us on Facebook or Instagram. #perthdoctorsmedicalaidforgaza
At the back spilling out into actual Murray Street itself. Unions front and centre, the Greens to the side, and so many ordinary citizens. Missing, any Labor branding.
Naarm huge too!
The speakers, the rally, more energised than I've seen it in months either. When this speaker is quoting Nelson Mandela, you know you're on the right side of history. The politicians looking away, both domestically and internationally, should really be taking notice
"If this is your first Gaza rally, welcome! If you've been here from the beginning, thank you!"
Sophie McNeil, Greens upper house member in state parl and former ABC journo with extensive experience in the mid East, spitting absolute fire in this speech 🔥🔥🔥
Go Australia.
She would have seen first hand what's happening in Gaza.
Rain or shine or rain again, Perth came out for Gaza and Palestine today. The speaker list really strong as well, four in and we've had unions, Greens, humanitarians and now the actual Palestinian voice #EndTheGenocide
Soi many TV cameras and photographers around as well. Three or four deep on the Forrest Chase walkway overlooking which has NEVER happened before
Repeat, I have NEVER seen the crowds for rallies like this the walkway next to Myer, not even at the start of this the first few months of this war 😮
