From Éire to Gaza to Gadigal Country, occupation is a crime, genocide is a crime. Protest outside the Dáil Éireann tonight. Saoirse don Phalaistín 🇵🇸🗝️

Week 61. Gadigal Country. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🗝️

LAND BACK. Sovereignty never ceded. Today's rally on Gadigal Country for First Nations liberation. Organisers Justice for David Dungay Jr and called for:

• Ending Black deaths in custody and mass incarceration. First Nations people constitute 35% of the total prison population and over 50% of youth in detention. Recent government policies, such as lowering the age of criminal responsibility to 10 years old in the Northern Territory, exacerbate this crisis.

• Stopping forced child removals, which continue at rates higher than during the Stolen Generations.

• Affirming that Sovereignty was Never Ceded and advocating for Land Back Now.

• An end to Indigenous genocide and a call to build international solidarity to resist these genocides.

Always was, always will be [-o-]

Week 59 and the Labor-Liberal establishment continues to enthusiastically neglect its moral and legal obligations to prevent genocide and sanction Israeli apartheid and occupation. And the Labor-Liberal establishment continues to economically, militarily and rhetorically enrich and embolden Israel. The government says they want to "press" for a ceasefire and yet they refuse to impose pressing sanctions, cut all ties with Israel and unambiguously confirm they will abide by the ICC warrants seeking the arrest of wanted fugitives Netanyahu and Gallant. Nevertheless, history will attend liberation and justice, and the colony's Labor-Liberal establishment will be on the wrong side of it. It already is. Free Palestine. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🗝️

Week 58, Gadigal Country. There will be liberation. There will be return. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🗝️

10/11/2024

Week 57. The week Israel annexed the north of Gaza and 'Australia' shipped coal directly from Muloobinba (Newcastle) to the state found by the ICJ to be committing apartheid against Palestinians while also presently on trial for genocide; crimes against humanity Palestinians have been broadcasting for almost a century. Despite the UN and the World Court's rulings calling on member states to fulfil their obligations under international law by ceasing to enrich and support Israel, the Labor-Liberal establishment continues to do so.

Labor enriched Israel's largest weapons company Elbit Systems via 3 contracts in 2024, including a drone tech contract that started only a month ago. Elbit drones have been used by Israel to slaughter many thousands of Palestinians and were used to kill Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. These are bare bone facts. Whether such arrangements are related to imports, exports, repairs or upgrades is entirely irrelevant: stop using our taxes to oil the machinery of genocide in occupied Palestine. Sanction Israel and cut all ties.

Long live Palestine. Until liberation. Until return 🇵🇸🗝️

Week 56. From Bidjigal Country to Palestine, from Gadigal Country to Gaza, we will not stop, we will not rest. History will attend Land Back and liberation for First Nations peoples everywhere. Always was, always will be [-o-][>=]

27/10/2024

Week 55 on Gadigal Country. Despite the Labor-Liberal establishment's ramped up repression, we will not stop. We will not rest. Palestine will be free. Until liberation. Until return 🇵🇸🗝️

20/10/2024

Week 54. Solidarity forever. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸

13/10/2024

Week 53. And the blood-covered cowards that comprise the War Parties—the Labor-Liberal establishment—continue their economic, diplomatic and military enrichment of Israel as it continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. As Israel continues to expand its daily atrocities in the West Bank and into Lebanon. No matter the fascist condition of the state's repressive apparatus, we will not stop. We will not rest. History will attend justice. Until liberation. Until return 🇵🇸 🗝️🇱🇧

06/10/2024

Week 52. Every day for a year Israel has killed scores of Palestinians, committing an ongoing genocide as part of its decades-long colonial process of erasing Indigenous Palestinians. More children have been killed in Gaza in the past 11 months than in the entire world over the last 5 years. Every life taken is a whole universe extinguished. Week 52 on stolen Gadigal Country where the colony's Labor-Liberal establishment continues its obsequious support and enrichment of apartheid Israel as it slaughters, starves and deprives Palestinians en masse and expands its atrocities to the occupied West Bank and Lebanon. And still no sanctions, no expulsion of the Israeli ambassador, and no arms embargo from the blood-covered Labor-Liberal establishment.

Week 52. No matter the vicious condition of the state's fascistic apparatus, our solidarity is an immoveable mass, steadfast and forever. We know each other and the reactionary political establishment knows only humiliation. No matter the violence commissioned by the Labor-Liberal establishment and visited on normal people standing for a liberated Palestine and against genocide, history will attend justice. Palestine will be free and one day we will all be asked by those yet born where we were and what we did, knowing what we knew. Words will furnish excuses, but in those moments when it is only you and your conscience in the room, you will know the truth and know the lie. Long live Palestine and long live Lebanon. Until liberation. Until return 🇵🇸🇱🇧

Week 51. On Monday Israel killed a person in Lebanon every 3 minutes while simultaneously massacring, starving and ethnically cleansing Palestinians in Gaza & attacking the West Bank. The daily atrocities committed by Israel against civilians in Palestine and Lebanon continue as it expands the reach and ferocity of its regime with full support from the blood-covered Labor-Liberal establishment. According to calculations by the Lancet medical journal, it is estimated that by the end of 2024 Israel will have killed 335,500 Palestinians in Gaza. Every life a universe extinguished. And Labor hasn't revoked a single permit or contract for the manufacture of tech & weapons componentry supplied to Israel. Liberation for Palestine and all colonised peoples. Long live Palestine 🇵🇸🇱🇧

Week 50 and decades of occupation. Genocide. Apartheid. Until return. Until liberation. Palestine will be free 🇵🇸🗝️

08/09/2024

Week 48. And the Labor-Liberal establishment continues to enrich apartheid Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza and the West Bank. Free Palestine. Long live Palestine 🇵🇸

01/09/2024

Week 47. Another week, another day, another minute the Labor-Liberal establishment continues in its obsequious backing of Israel's genocidal occupation of Palestine, continues in its economic, diplomatic and rhetorical enrichment of the maintenance of the apartheid state as it commits colonial atrocity after colonial atrocity. It is because the Labor-Liberal establishment won't so much as even sanction the perpetrator responsible for the mass slaughter of tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, including at least 16,500 children, by a nuclear-armed occupation that they can't be believed when they talk about addressing violence against women and children here. Israel has completely annihilated the education system in Gaza. It is why everything Labor or Liberal have to say about the housing crisis, cost of living, education, health, q***r struggle, or First Nations justice amounts to nothing but sugary words (on a good day) and the unimpeded continuance of material injustice in service of the ruling class. Free Palestine. Palestine will free us all 🇵🇸
