Life for people in Gaza is a lottery under Israeli bombardment. Yet Brisbane's Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner ordered his officers to light up the Story Bridge with Israeli flag colours. To add insult to injury, Brisbane City Council refuses to turn off the big screen in King George Square while thousands of Palestinians and their supporters mourn the dead in Gaza. Brisbane City Council officers told the Justice for Palestine (Meanjin) organisers at last Sunday's (12 Nov) rally in King George Square that they were unable to turn off the big screen overlooking the many thousands of people mourning the dead. They lie. 

Calls for ceasefire and respect for the dead have fallen on deaf ears in almost every area of Australian civil society and its institutions. The Australian government refuses to call an end to the genocide.  In fact it was the Australian government that told the International Criminal Court it should not investigate Israeli war crimes in Palestine.

Turn off the big screen in King George Square from 2pm till 5pm Sunday 19th November 2023 out of respect for Palestine dead and injured in Israeli genocide. Ceasefire Now!
