The Unreported Sea of Pro-Palestinian Humanity Continues to March on Sydney: 13th Week in Photos

No one contemplated the carnage Israel has been perpetrating on Gaza would be ongoing thirteen weeks on, as such was its scale to begin with that the magnitude of the humanitarian crisis that would be occurring right now would be on a fairly incomprehensible scale. But still it continues.

The other aspect that was unforeseen three months ago was that the massive outpourings of pro-Palestinian on-the-street support would be continuing on a weekly basis, including straight through the holiday period, and be sustained at such a massive scale.

“Our voices matter, because it is our voice that will either stand with the oppressor or the oppressed. There is nothing in between. It’s either the oppressed or the oppressor,” Palestine Action Group spokesperson Assala Sayara told the crowd. “And we see the oppressors.”

“I want to express my support for the Palestinian journalists who continue to make sure that the terrible war crimes, that the bombing of health facilities, killing and kidnapping of health workers, massacres of many thousands of innocent people, including babies, and use of starvation as a weapon of war,” said veteran Australian journalist Wendy Bacon, “have been communicated to the world.”

Bacon added that 107 Palestinians have now been killed. “Like others I ask, where is the outcry from journalists around the world?”

And like so many thousands of others in this city, Sydney Criminal Lawyers was out there again last Saturday to its show support.
