The expulsion of 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in 1948, some subject to massacres by 3 different Israeli militias, is an undeniable fact confirmed by Israeli historians. It is called the Nakba. I honour its memory and recommit to recognition of a state of Palestine.
The British royal family presided over a regime that committed genocide on several continents, produced famines that killed tens of millions of people, and trafficked in humans for some 200 years.
Liege, Barcelona and Oslo, three decent communities. There is no excuse - none - for the way in which Israel and most of the world have been treating the Palestinians since 1948.
The Belgian city of Liège has voted to end all ties with Israel citing its regime of “apartheid, colonization and military occupation” against Palestinians. Liège now joins Oslo and Barcelona municipalities in ending complicity in Israel’s grave human rights violations.
The referendum for The Voice isn’t about politicians. It’s about everyday Australians. We all vote. We all decide.

I’m voting Yes.
71 days into 2023 & Israel has killed 84 Palestinians.
Today’s three victims were from the Nablus area.
Extra-judicial executions & outright murder.
