No coal for Israel. Stop fueling genocide.
This November, thousands are gathering at the Rising Tide People’s Blockade of the world’s largest coal port (Nov 27 – Dec 2) in Muloobinba / Newcastle, to take action for climate justice.
As part of this larger event, on Saturday the 29th of November, join our Paddle Out for Palestine: a powerful on-water action to oppose all coal trade with Israel.
We are calling on Palestinian solidarity campaigners to bring Palestinian and Lebanese flags to fly on the water while on kyacks. This is a non-arrestable action.
Rising Tide recognises that systems of oppression are deeply interconnected. The same colonial and extractivist forces driving the horrific genocide in Palestine are also destroying the planet’s life support systems. That’s why Rising Tide has partnered with a broad coalition of anti-genocide organisations to deliver this vital event.
Come to Camp Shortland for short speeches, before a short walk to Horseshoe Beach for the paddle out for Palestine. Bring your flags and your swimmers and we will provide the kyacks.

Why?
Israel relies heavily on imported coal to power its war machine.
After Colombia cut coal exports, Australia stepped in, shipping over 130,000 tonnes in 2024 alone.
This trade is fueling genocide and violates the ICJ ruling that countries must not aid Israel’s occupation.
What will it achieve?
Together, we can send a clear message: No coal to Israel. No complicity in genocide. Bring your kayak, board, canoe, or just come to the foreshore in solidarity.
