Protest against Israel's attacks on the Palestinian Gaza territory hastily organised in Melbourne on December 30, 2008.
The rally was called by Justice for Palestine and the Palestinian Community Assocation " for people to support the citizens of Gaza who have been subjected to another massacre by the occupying Israeli Occupation Force". Hundreds of people, primarily civilians, have been killed with thousands more injured in the bombing and rocket attacks with military forces massing to invade Gaza.
Two minute's silence was observed at the rally which also heard from a young muslim women - a refugee from Gaza. The rally attracted a broad cross section of people, but especially muslim families. Organisers estimated the crowd at 3,000, police estimated 1500, while SBS World News estimated around a thousand rallied. After the rally outside the State Library, protestors marched down Swanston Street chanting "Free Palestine" and "Israel Out". http://justiceforpalestine.org/

"Bring a friend, bring several, bring your neighbourhood.. We want everybody to turn up and show their compassion and support not only for those killed and injured during the present Holocaust in Gaza but through out the occupied lands of Palestine/Israel."
Holocaust injuries?? Get real, it's an unfortunate conflict like many others at present, not a holocaust. How do you propose peace, when you instill in peoples minds that a holocaust has happened in Gaza. Stop the moral equivalency.
"Why isn't the United Arab governments doing something?" - because they want Palestinians to remain in the shit hole they're in - they're political pawns in this sick game. If Israel looks bad, that's bonus points to them.
There will never be a free Palestine - if Israel disappears, the land will be under control by the neighbouring Arab states or it'll simply be annexed. It's a race/religious issue - it offends the arab leaders that jews control a small part of the middle east.
"When Hamas was elected to power in 2006, Israel started the blockade of Gaza in punishment"
Punishment or self-preservation?
You and those who speak the same words as you can scream "democratically elected government" all you want, but it doesn't stop the fact that Hamas calls for the destruction of Israel in its charter.
"just go around murdering other peoples elected leaders" - Their elected "leaders" call for the destruction of Israel in their charter. Hamas will not stop until either they are stopped, or until they've killed every Jew. Read their charter and you'll see.
Now tell me, if a bunch of people voted for your destruction, would you not ensure that you, and your people, are kept safe?
