It's now over three weeks that Israel has intensified its genocidal war against Gaza and the international movement for a Free Palestine is marching in its millions world wide. More than 7,000 people are now reported to have been killed across the Gaza Strip,  and residents of the West Bank are systematically being harrassed and assaulted by Israeli settlers. On today's program, I bring you noises and speeches from various Free Palestine rallies held over the last three weeks in Melbourne. The Featured voices are: Tasnim Mahmoud Sammak, Kim Bullimore, Mille Cohen, May Mourad and our gorgeous singer, Aseel Taya.

Today's show explores Palestinian movement building and solidarity between Palestinians and First Nations people in so-called Australia via edited excerpts from the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network's inaugural Palestine Solidarity Conference. The conference was held on Kulin Nations land in Melbourne from the 27th to the 29th of January.The first two segments are from the conference's opening plenary session, “Organising for Palestine on stolen land: Solidarity and Intersectionality,” chaired by APAN Vice President Nasser Mashni. These excerpts include comments from Senator Lidia Thorpe, Kim Bullimore, Micaela Sahhar, and Randa Abdel-Fattah. The third segment is from the closing plenary, "75 years of Nakba - What's next for the movement?" chaired by Lina Koleilat. This excerpt features comments from Noura Mansour, Rand Khatib, and Tasnim Mahmoud Sammak.

Israel's latest offensive against the Palestinians began with evictions in the neighbourhood of Sheik Jarrah and continues with a massive aerial bombardment of Gaza.

January 26.  Australia Day.  It marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson and the start of genocide against the original owners of this land.  We should not celebrate Australia Day.  It's a day that has been sanctified and sanitised.  Instead, we should be protesting and fighting for land rights, sovereignty and self-determination for all Aboriginal people. This week's show features Celeste Liddle and Kim Bullimore
