Inspiring Speakers At Free Palestine Rally In Adelaide
Written by: Ned K. on 9 September 2024
Supporters of the Palestinian people continue to take to the streets in cities all around the world.In some cities such as London, the numbers of people attending is in the hundreds of thousands.
In smaller cities such as Adelaide in South Australia they are much smaller, but no less important and effective.
On Sunday 8 September supporters of the Palestinian people rallied as they have done every second Sunday since October last year when the Israeli Government and its Defence Force commenced their intense attacks on the Palestinians in Gaza.
This latest Sunday rally, although small in numbers, was even more important and notable for the following reasons
1. It follows the Israeli Government’s expansion of its military offensive targeting Palestinians in the occupied territories of the West Bank
2. This Adelaide rally was addressed by an Australian Services Union member who outlined the support for Palestinian people from union members from a growing number of Unions, even those like her Union that are affiliated to the ALP
3. A Palestinian woman who lives in Adelaide spoke with amazing clarity about what life in Australia is like for the Palestinian diaspora. With incredible feeling expressed in her voice, she explained that the Palestinian diaspora are not ok here. They feel completely alienated due to the Australian Government’s support and indifference for the Zionist regime’s genocide against the people of Gaza. She said the Palestinian people here despair that while feeling ignored here, they can hardly somehow return to their Palestinian homeland.
So, she asked “What can we do?”
She said the Palestinian diaspora will never give up fighting for the liberation of Palestinians from the Israeli Zionist regime and thanked people across Australia and the world who stood alongside Palestinians in their struggle for liberation.
Many people at the rally went to her side to personally express their support and congratulate her on speaking with such passion combined with clarity of why Palestinians will never give up!
