For two months Israel has bombarded the Gaza Strip, killing at least 18,000 Palestinians, 7,000 of whom are children. In harrowing scenes, survivors dig through the rubble with the bare hands to search for family members.

The hospital system has collapsed and hunger and disease are setting in, with aid supplies unable to reach those in need. Israeli troops have forced Palestinian men to strip to their underwear and paraded them through Gaza City’s desolate streets.

Meanwhile, politicians in every Western capital have stood silent, refusing to condemn Israel’s war for what it is: a genocide against the Palestinians.

The US government has again vetoed a ceasefire at the United Nations. While claiming to be concerned about the number of civilian deaths, the US has approved the sale of about 14,000 tank shells without congressional review. The sale is part of a much larger package of US military aid to Israel the Biden administration is asking the US Congress to approve, worth more than $500m. It includes 45,000 shells for Israel’s Merkava tanks, regularly deployed in its offensive in Gaza.

Join us to stand in solidarity with Palestine and demand:
Stop the war on Gaza!
End the blockade of food, water, fuel and medical supplies!
End the Israeli occupation!
Cut Australian ties with Apartheid Israel!
Free Palestine!

We remind everyone that the struggle for a free Palestine is an anti-racist struggle. We condemn and oppose all forms of racism, including anti-semitism and Islamophobia. Ours is a struggle against the state of Israel, not against Jewish people, many of whom oppose Zionism, and who have a long history of being part of our movement for a free Palestine.
