Sanction Israel Now catching as a chant #FreePalestine

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 😮

The anti war rally in 2003 was pretty damn big, but so glad this movement is growing.

One lonely anti vaxxer with a sign about masks being escorted by a couple of cops on the fringes of this Fifth speaker, Students for Palestine, think I heard they're Socialist Alliance as well in the intro

Dropped down from my vantage point to be at ground level #FreePalestine

Love this

"History will judge us and we want to make sure we did everything in our power to stop this."

Main rally still going on, last main speaker from Refugee Action, but I can hear drums and singing at the back, the students are getting rowdy to start marching I guess we got a permit to march this week? 😆

Of course, I go onto the Friends of Palestine Facebook page and the speaker list and the march details were already there Hyde Park ahoy
