A snap rally in support of Palestine is planned for Melbourne on Tuesday night following tense scenes in Sydney, where flares were lit and anti-Semitic slogans were chanted.
The rallies follow Israel’s retaliation against Islamic militants from Palestine’s ruling political faction Hamas, that launched a devastating surprise attack on their longstanding foes at the weekend.
