Michal Lewinsohn, a social worker from Israel, reflects on the impact of Israel's retaliatory invasion on Gaza and the toll it has taken on both Israeli and Palestinian lives.
Michal Lewinsohn cowered underneath her bed in the ordinarily quiet hamlet kibbutz of Kfar Aza on October 7.
“I don’t want the people of Gaza to suffer,” Lewinsohn says sitting in her sister’s Caulfield South home, “I don’t want war, I just want the people that were kidnapped from Israel to come back. I think that we’re also shocked, we’re still so shocked that this thing has happened that we never imagined ... we’re like in a horror movie.”
“It’s been six months too long, and people quite frequently ask how I’m doing,” Free Palestine Melbourne organiser Nour Salman told rain-drenched supporters outside the State Library. “I think there’s more and more kind of clarity as to what it is,” she said at the rally on Sunday. “It’s hard to say Israel is defending itself when it’s outwardly committing the kind of bombing of civilians.”
