MELBOURNE — On August 19, 200 people attended a Justice for Lebanon and Palestine rally organised by the Melbourne Palestine Solidarity Network.
Speakers at the rally included Palestinian-Australian activist Nasser Mashani, Aber Chandab from the Islamic Girls'/Women's Group and Margarita Windisch, the Socialist Alliance candidate for the state seat of Footscray.
Windisch stressed that the current UN-brokered ceasefire by no means indicated an end to Israel's unjust war against and occupation of Lebanon, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
