Pro-Palestinian protest organisers vow to proceed with next rally despite police cancellation

Organisers of a controversial pro-Palestinian protest are vowing to march again this weekend in Sydney despite the NSW premier saying it would not go ahead. A small group of protesters chanted anti-Israel and anti-Jewish rhetoric at Monday’s rally which started at Sydney Town Hall and ended on the steps of the Opera House on Monday night as the venue's sails were lit up in the colours of the Israeli flag.

The idea they're going to commandeer Sydney streets is not going to happen.” Academic Fahad Ali, one of the organisers of the protest, said NSW Police had informed them an application for the rally on Sunday had been rejected. He said the group is considering legal avenues to appeal. “The community has a right to protest military occupation … by Israel,” he told SBS News.
