Saturday's rally in Wollongong to condemn Israel's attack on the Freedom Flotilla was an amazing show of solidarity with the Arabic and Turkish communities. Over 300 people rallied to condemn Israel's attack, which was nothing more than murder on the high seas. Speakers included Saeb Ali, Peace for Lebanon; Jess Moore, Socialist Alliance; Umit Gunes, Muslim and Turkish community; Anthony Ashbolt, politics lecturer, Uni of Wollongong and Arthur Rorris, secretary South Coast Labour Council. The gathering unanimously endorsed a resolution calling on the Australian government to condemn Israel's attack and break ties with Israel until the siege is lifted. Check out Jess's speech here.
