Protest happening at Defence Minister Richard Marles’ office:
Anti-Zionist Jewish activists have led an occupation and staged a ritual inside the office of Defence Minister Richard Marles, the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, at 90-92 Broughman St. Geelong. A number of protestors have secured themselves by their necks in the office’s reception using bicycle locks and are refusing to leave. Others have blockaded the office’s main entrance and raised banners reading ‘Stop The Genocide’, ‘Not In Our Name’, ‘Disarm Israel’, and ‘ALP Supports Ethnic Cleansing’. The group - made up of members of Jewish, Aboriginal, and other communities - demands that Marles and the Federal Labor Government withdraw diplomatic, economic and military support for Israel’s decades-long occupation of Palestine. They call upon Marles to condemn Israel’s devastating bombardment of Gaza and the West Bank.
