Protestors have staged the second rally of the year in support of Palestine in the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, demanding the federal government do more to affect a ceasefire in Gaza and calling on Australians to boycott businesses and services with ties to Israel.
A crowd of demonstrators, led by the city's Palestine Action Group, marched bearing placards and chanting "free free Palestine" from the Newcastle Museum to Foreshore Park on Saturday afternoon, February 3, where a host of speakers decried the war in the Middle East.
