Protest Against Gaza Massacre!

Media Release

For Immediate Release 28/12/08


Protest Against Gaza Massacre!




After confirmation that at least 230 Palestinians were killed on Saturday due to the Israeli army dropping over 100 tonnes of bombs on Gaza, anti-war and Palestinian solidarity activists have called for everyone concerned to rally outside of Sydney Town Hall this Monday at 4:30 P.M

“The attack is being reported as a “retaliation” to rocket attacks, it is not. It is a massacre, which has already killed over 230, injured over 700 and destroyed the lives of countless more. We believe that there is no justification at all for this. On Monday we will rally to stand in solidarity with the people of Gaza, who are suffering through hellish conditions. We will also be there to tell the Israeli Government, that the people of the world will not accept ongoing bombings of Palestine and that we will hold them to account if they continue.”

The Rally will also put a spotlight on the Australian government, if it refuses to condemn the Israeli government attack on the Palestinian people


“So far there has been a stony silence from the Rudd Government. We believe that the Australian Government should immediately condemn Israel's attack on Gaza, if it is at all serious about respecting international law and human rights. The Rudd Government should also make Israel aware that it will not accept any further attacks on Palestine, as well as sending large amounts of emergency aid to Gaza”

Maybe you should get the Rudd government to condemn Hamas. Just think about it for a moment.

If Hamas are not willing to cease their rocket attacks, then we can't expect Israel to stop defending itself. You might want Israel to stop unilaterally but it won't happen.

Think of the land and greenhouses they gave the Palestinins in 2005. Unilateral concessions don't work.

Forget the politics, there are plenty of people in palestine that just want to not be killed or maimed. Their only realistic chance is for Hamas to surrender.
