The powers-that-be are seeking to silence the anti-Zionist, anti-capitalist, anti-war industry justice movement.聽Britain has proscribed Palestine Action. The United States government is seeking to deem any criticism of Israel as an act of antisemitism.

In Naarm/Melbourne and Gadigal Country, changes in protest laws are designed to stifle debate and dissent; NSW police recently brutally attacked peaceful protesters in Belmore.

However, this will not deter those who support justice for Palestine from condemning the genocide and demanding an end to the profiteering by the weapons industry and big business.

Francesca Albanese, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian Territories, has revealed in her latest report just how war helps weapons鈥 manufacturers make billions from genocide.

Gathering on street corners and public footpaths in the CBD, small groups of activists waving the Palestinian flag have been engaging people in conversation, talking about the聽big issues. It is a largely spontaneous action, driven by the need to break the silence of complicity while governments keep supporting and enabling Israel鈥檚 war crimes in our name.

鈥淎 Flag on Every Corner鈥, an initiative from Vivienne and聽Ibrahim, has attracted activists from many justice groups who have spread out along George Street from Town Hall to Circular聽Quay.

The action has taken place twice on weekends when the mass rallies are not scheduled. It sends a message of hope 鈥 speaking to people about why the government does not speak for us 鈥 and it聽 sends a message to those suffering under Israeli-US state terrorism that we will not stop until Palestine is free.
