Pro-Palestinian protests around the world are escalating, and Western Australia is no exception.

From Columbia to Curtin University, students are pitching tents to demand their administrations cut ties with Israel.

Meanwhile, hundreds continue to join picket lines at Fremantle Port in an attempt to disrupt Israeli shipping company ZIM.

Are these tactics working? And when it comes to global issues like Palestine, can what happens in a place like Perth really make a difference?

In this episode, you'll hear from Western Australian organisers and protesters on why they're willing to get disruptive for Palestine.
