In spite of pouring rain, government opposition and a failed police ban, 90,000 people marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge yesterday. It was the largest pro-Palestinian protest in Australia’s history. It was a moment of mass demonstration against 21 months of war in Gaza, where tens of thousands of civilians, including children, have been killed. Despite warning that the march could become dangerous, the protest remained peaceful and marked a powerful expression of a shifting public conscience. Today, Walkley-award winning journalist and author, David Leser – on why he joined the protest, not in spite of his Holocaust heritage, but because of it.
