Two Jewish mates organise an event that brings hundreds of Canberrans together to raise funds for Australian doctors working in Palestine.
, more than 100 Canberra ns have gathered for a charity music event to raise funds for Australian doctors working in Palestine .
Attendees were encouraged to buy tickets on a "pay what you can" basis with more than $7,000 raised for the charity Palestinian Australian New Zealand Medical Association by the time the event began.The Gig for Gaza was organised by two Jewish mates, who said it was their faith that inspired them to act.
"I think the issue is that any criticism of Israel is characterised in bad faith as anti-Semitism," Mr Abkiewicz said. "Zionism is such a young thing and Israel is such a young thing and for Israel to co-opt this sense of being a Jew or what a Jew is or what we should do, it's quite offensive and it erases history," they said.Mx Aviv said they had been involved in various protest actions and the concert offered a different way for people to engage in activism.
