Hundreds of thousands to mobilise for Nationwide March for Palestine on Sunday 24th August

23 August 2025 AIMN Editorial, Palestine Action Group Sydney

On Sunday 24 August, hundreds of thousands of people will mobilise, in over 40 towns and cities around the country, as part of the massive Nationwide March for Palestine. As the United Nations officially declares a “man-made” famine in Gaza, and Israel launches yet another full-scale invasion, this march comes at a critical juncture.

The Nationwide March for Palestine is demanding sanctions on Israel and the end of the two-way arms trade. Australia is still exporting military components to Israel, as it carries out a genocide. This is a war crime.

Quotes attributable to Amal Naser, Palestine Action Group:

“The United Nations has declared a famine in Gaza. A famine deliberately caused by Israel. They are starving children, women and men to death. They are starving my family. This is genocide, and yet our Australian Government continues to send weapons to the regime carrying out this atrocity. We need everyone in the world to stand up now and stop this genocide.”

“The Australian Government continues to export military hardware directly to Israel, including for the F-35 Fighter Jets which are being used to commit daily war crimes in Gaza. We don’t need more empty words from Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong, we need sanctions on Israel and an end to the two-way arms trade now.”
