School Strike For Palestine Rally

Yesterday, several hundred school and university students went on strike to protest against the war in Palestine.

University students marched from Sydney Uni, past UTS and then to Town Hall to meet up with high schoolers. Speeches were made by a variety of students, as well as by academics and educators.

The protest then moved to Trades Hall on Sussex Street, the headquarters of the incumbent Labor Party, where further speeches were made - amongst much jeering - urging the ALP to do more to support a ceasefire and to stop military trade with Israel.
