Bisalloy Steel in Unanderra, a suburb of Tharawal/Wollongong, produces a range of steel products, one of which is reinforced steel for Israelβs tanks, such as those being used in the genocide in Gaza.
On September 19, from 6am to 1.30pm, more than 100 people protested against the companyβs complicity in Israelβs war crimes. The action was organised byΒ Wollongong Friends of Palestine.
A pleasant surprise awaited us. Instead of facing lines of NSW Police and security guards, we were greeted with the news that Bisalloy Steel had given its workers a paid day off.Β Another pleasant surprise was the food supplied by Food Not Bombs and others.
We chanted βFrom the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!β and βFrom the sea to the river, Palestine will live foreverβ. A girl, perhaps aged 12, led the chants. She was also one of six people to address the anti-genocide protesters.
