Photographs of yesterday’s rally on Gadigal land, commemorating 75 years since what Palestinians call ‘Al Nakbar’ or ‘The Catastrophe’, a date marking the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, and what Palestinians see as the start of the dispossession of their land and genocide.
Hundreds of people turned up yesterday at Sydney Town Hall, where they heard speeches from Randa Abdel-Fattah (author and anti-racism advocate), Fouad Charida (whose family’s land was taken during Al Nakbar), Anthony Lowenstein (journalist and filmmaker), Renuga Inpakumar (Eelam Tamil activist), Jasmine Al-Rawi (Student activist), Sally Khalil (Sudanese community advocate) and Fahid Ali (author and molecular biologist). The MCs for the day were Damian Ridgewell and Rand Khatib.
The crowd marched through the CBD before returning to Sydney Town Hall for final speeches.
