Join nationwide rallies to mark three years of genocide, call on Labor to cut ties with Israel
English (original) · Read in Deutsch ⇄
Israel’s genocide in Gaza is now approaching the three-year mark, with no sign of slowing down. Yet, the federal Labor government continues to side with the United States and Israel, refusing to support Palestinian self-determination, despite giving lip service to a “two-state” solution.
Israel has murdered more than 1400 Gazans since the so-called “ceasefire” began in October last year. The genocide is still happening, albeit at a slower pace, because the United States is appeasing Israel. In August, Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir called for nightly killings of 30–40 Gazans including those who do not “pose a danger… at that particular moment”.
Labor teamed up with the Liberals and One Nation on September 17 to vote down an independent senator-initiated senate inquiry into the Red Lines Package, which is four proposed laws that would ensure Australia complies with international law.
It has refused to stop the two-way arms trade with the genocidal state, allowing the continued supply of weapons to Israel, and the Pine Gap spy base continues to supply intelligence.
Join nationwide rallies on October 11 to mark three years of genocide and call on Labor to cut ties with Israel.
