Why does "Bring Them Home" exist only for some hostages?
Because in Apartheid Israel, where only Jewish lives matter, brutalising the Palestinians isn't an anomaly - it is the system. And the silence around it is the exact measure of our collective hypocrisy.
Last week, a very senior administrator at Sydney Uni told us that when Israel supporters on our internal staff platform deny the genocide in Gaza, management expects us *not to challenge them*. Here's excerpts from our reply, in which we refuse this extraordinary request.
"I have three questions today for Israeli people through this press conference. I want to speak to them directly," said Sidoti.
🔴What kind of people are your soldiers who would allow a 14 year old child to bleed to death over a 45 minute period?
🔴What kind of people are your military leaders that would inculcate a culture that soldiers feel free to do this, acting with total impunity?
🔴What kind of people are your leaders? When they give orders, they make statements that encourage this kind of conduct, not merely permit it, but encourage it?
My family and I are exposed to all sorts of threats, restrictions and hateful rethoric.
Yet we would say and do everything we have said and done against the genocide, its ideologues and profiteers, again and again.
Forever proud to stand on the side of Justice.
A UN inquiry found that Palestinian children are deliberately targeted and killed in Gaza.
The evidence is overwhelming.
Yet Australia continues to refuse meaningful sanctions or accountability measures.
No more excuses. No more impunity.
Sanction Israel. Support BDS.

There are moments when it feels impossible to comprehend the scale of what Palestinians are enduring. But giving in to despair is exactly what those in power are counting on." — Nasser Mashni, APAN President.
Staying engaged matters at a time when Gaza is being devastated, Israel's impunity continues, and our leaders continue to fall short.
Every APAN member helps strengthen our ability to advocate, organise, challenge injustice and keep Palestine on the political agenda.

A leaked document shows the EU was legally entitled to suspend a trade deal with Israel since 2017 due to its violations of international law in the occupied West Bank.
The memo says freezing the EU-Israel Association Agreement would be in compliance with international law.
Meanwhile, the heroic doctor's torture by Israel continues. They continue to torture Dr. Hussam Abu Sefia for the crime of not abandoning his patients. Without laying charges, offering him anything resembling due process, Israel is killing him slowly. One day, everyone will say they were against this
The AFP has launched an investigation into Israel’s assault and mistreatment of Australian participants in the Global Sumud Flotilla following their illegal interception.
This is a welcome first step.
But investigations are not accountability.
For too long, Australia has responded to allegations of violations of international law with statements of concern and little meaningful action.
The evidence is now with the Government.
The question is whether it is prepared to act on it.
An investigation is a first step.
Accountability must follow.

Hard-hitting address from Sydney University Staff for Palestine member Jason Todd on the 5A network's persecution of Palestine advocates on campus. At USyd alone, they have made hundreds of complaints against us.
Grace Street from the University of Sydney Student Representative Council: many international students at the university think that protest is totally forbidden, and university management does nothing to disabuse them.
Sara Alasfar: for Palestinians, what academic freedom means is 'will my university be destroyed'? In Palestine at the moment, people are having to burn PhD theses for warmth. This is intimately linked to the suppression of political expression in universities in the West.
"The repression of free speech on Palestine on university campuses betrays the core mission of a
public university and presents a broader threat to our human rights and democracy." Read the report of the Peoples Inquiry into Campus Free Speech on Palestine https://t.co/uYHjIQtW0s
