Australia Must Sanction Israel
0 9 mins 4 mths

The murder of an Al Jazeera film crew and prominent journalist in Gaza by the IDF in a targeted attack is the final straw. Australia must sanction Israel and cut off all ties with Zionists here and abroad. Enough is enough! The outrageous destruction of an entire city and the genocide of the Palestinians are well beyond the pale. Over 17, 000 children have been killed out of the more than 60, 000 Gazans bombed and shot to death by the IDF. Acts of terrorism are no justification for murder and destruction on such wanton levels. It is time that Australia gets real about what is occurring in Gaza and in the West Bank.

“Five Al Jazeera staff, including well-known Arabic correspondent Anas al-Sharif, have been killed in a targeted Israeli air strike in Gaza. Al Jazeera says its journalists Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh were killed along with camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa when Israel bombed a journalists’ tent in Gaza City, near Al-Shifa Hospital. The attack killed the whole of Al Jazeera’s reporting team in Gaza City.”

Zionist Murders Must Be Held To Account By Australia

Israel has been killing journalists by the truckload in Gaza during this conflict.

“According to the CPJ, 186 journalists have been confirmed killed since the start of Israel’s military offensive in Gaza in October 2023.”

The deflections and bullshit claims about ‘antisemitism’ by Zionists has been a concerted campaign of disinformation. This is not about Jewish or non-Jewish people this is a colonialist apartheid situation with one group in power and the other marginalised and now being genocidally wiped out. If you don’t know anything about how the state of Israel came about it is time you did some basic investigating. This is not a story of good guys vs bad guys with the whiter folk being the former. Racism against Arabs and in this instance Palestinians has definitely worked in the Zionist’s favour. In fact Zionists were some of world’s first terrorists bombing the British who controlled Palestine prior to Israel coming about.

“The main terrorist groups were Irgun Zvai Leumi (National Military Organisation) – ultimately led by future Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin – and an even more militant organisation, Lohamey Heruth Israel (Fighters for the Freedom of Israel) or LHI. The British called LHI the Stern Gang after its leader, Abraham Stern, who was killed in a clash with the Palestine Police in 1942. In November 1944, LHI assassinated the British Minister for the Middle East, Lord Moyne.”

Aggressive & Violent Zionist Israel

The extremist nature of Zionists has been around since the beginning. The Palestinian people have had to deal with their homeland being stripped away from them. The guilt of the world over the Holocaust has somehow had to be paid for by the Palestinians who had nothing to do with Hitler’s Germany in WW2. The Israelis have called upon other Anglo-settler nations, like Australia and the United States, to back them in their aggressive theft of Palestine. Zionists have no more ancient right to take back what were millennia ago the kingdoms of Judah and Israel than Aboriginal people should be granted their ancestral homelands. Native Americans are in the same boat in North America. This is white supremacist colonialism at large in what was Palestine. Is it any wonder that the Palestinians feel aggrieved at being treated like second class citizens on their own land. Do some research about the police checks and army checkpoints all around the West Bank. Find out about the Israeli settler’s stealing ever more Palestinian land and being backed up by the IDF illegally. It has been going on for years unchecked. Netanyahu is a war criminal. Australia must sanction Israel and cut off all ties with Zionists.

Australia Rejected Divisive Dutton & His Zionist Backers

Australia most recently rejected Peter Dutton and the LNP Coalition at the federal election. The stench of Donald Trump permeated the Libs and Nats on home soil. Most Aussies don’t want extremism in any form running their lives. Netanyahu treated Peter Dutton to an all expenses paid junket tour of Israel to garner his support here. We all saw how aggressively Dutton prosecuted an anti-Arab agenda on behalf of the right wing disinformation campaign. Associate support for Palestine with antisemitism and this has been effective on both sides of politics. These are political strategies to take the higher moral ground wherever possible but they are cynical campaigns at best. Just like the ‘free speech’ campaigns of the hard right. Now, in power in the US, however, no concerns about the free speech rights of immigrants and students backing Palestinians are in evidence on the right. Cynical game playing with paper thin commitments to the principles are Trumpian characteristics on display. White supremacy runs thickly through the right wing political veins. Israel is a war zone where colonial settler aspirations are literally killing off the original inhabitants. Australians get to swan about in cities where all that genocide of the native population happened centuries and decades ago. It is too awful to think about for most modern Aussies. We see the ghosts in the form of their few descendants wandering about the fringes of our metropolises. Many of us just look away. In Palestine, or what used to be called Palestine, the death and destruction are fresh on the streets. Who has the right to call this land home?

Israel Killing Doctors & Aid Workers In Gaza

Home is such a comforting thought for those of us wealthy enough to be secure. Homeland security. Guns and bombs. Soldiers in the streets. Blood and dust everywhere. Have a look at what used to be the city of Gaza at the few images Israel allows to be captured or shown by the global media. Something to hide, obviously. The devastating destruction on a massive scale. The IDF has killed aid workers and doctors by the score, as well. Australia must sanction Israel.

“Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) mourns the tragic loss of our colleagues who have been killed since the escalation of the war in Gaza in October 2023. 

We are outraged that many of these individuals were killed while providing care for patients or sheltering with their families. We remain deeply concerned for the safety of all our staff members and patients living under fire and siege. “

“In Gaza, Israel is actively starving Palestinians to death. This follows bombing the shit out of the place and killing in excess of 50, 000 human beings. Meanwhile, in Australia the politicians are worrying about antisemitism and a few criminal acts of property destruction. Whilst in America, it is all about a sex scandal involving the exploitation of underage girls by Jeffrey Epstein, who has been dead for 6 years. This is the world we live in. Protesting acts of genocide is being made illegal by the efforts of those working the system to the advantage of their influential friends.”
