About 100 people protested in Melbourne on July 3, International Al Quds Day, as part of a global weekend of action for Palestine.
The date marked 50 years since the Six Day War and half a century of Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
Nasser from Palestine Advocacy Network said: “We have entered 50 years of occupation of the West Bank and it's been 68 years since Palestine's Nakba.
"It represents such a disregard for human rights it is hard to wrap your mind around.
“This year worshippers were attacked with rubber bullets and tear gas at Al Aqsa and thousands of others were prevented from going there. Please do not forget Palestine."
