Weekly marches have been taking place in cities around the world since the start of Israel’s bombardment of Palestine began.

Over 22,000 people have been killed, over 10,000 children.

Each weekend in Melbourne around 10,000 people have taken to the streets calling for a ceasefire.

This week’s march takes place after, South Africa and Israel delivered their oral arguments in the International Court of Justice, after South Africa accused Israel of genocide, and an alliance of Western countries attacked Yemen, who have been blocking Israeli linked shipping in the Red Sea.
