AI: STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

 

STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

Today, the 29th of November, is International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People; a platform and a reminder of the ongoing Palestinian struggle for human rights, peace and self-determination.


Today, we are asking you to stand in solidarity and allyship with the Palestinian-Australian community, to support them in their enduring fight for freedom and justice. Sending a message will only take a few minutes, but your words will have a profound impact . Together, we can let them know there are thousands of people who stand with them.

We are continuing to urgently advocate for a sustained ceasefire, a crucial step towards a just and lasting solution to the conflict. Over the last few weeks you have joined the global movement to address the injustices endured by Palestinians. One million supporters like you signed Amnesty’s global petition demanding a ceasefire to end bloodshed. And here in Australia, more than 17,000 emails have been sent to Foreign Minister Penny Wong calling for a sustained ceasefire.

In the coming weeks we’ll hand over your messages to members of the Australian Palestinian community who have been relentlessly campaigning for a ceasefire. They have tirelessly campaigned for freedom and security, by narrating the complexities of the conflict, the history of occupation and apartheid through lived experience.

“Listen to the people who have shown that they stand with Palestinians unequivocally in our call to freedom” Sara Saleh, Palestinian-Australian, Human Rights Lawyer & Poet

Solidarity is our greatest strength. Together, we can say: we stand with you. And we will continue to fight alongside you for justice and freedom.

Send your message of solidarity now.

It has become something of an annual Davos tradition for me to give an overview of the current state of the world. I was planning half an hour for my remarks and half an hour for questions, but my speech has turned out to be closer to an hour. I attribute this to the severity of the problems confronting us. After I’ve finished, I’ll open it up for your comments and questions. So prepare yourselves. *** I find the current moment in history rather painful. Open societies are in crisis, and various forms of dictatorships and mafia states, exemplified by Putin’s Russia, are on the rise. In the United States, President Trump would

Defining the Biden Doctrine

  In his first major foreign-policy speech as U.S. president, Joe Biden declared to the world that America was back. The international sigh of relief was almost audible amid hopes that former President Donald Trump’s disruptive style was a relic. Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda to repair alliances and forge new ones, curb corruption, arrest democratic backsliding, and tackle climate change, all while managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian threats to Ukraine, and escalating tensions with China.  It hasn’t all been plain sailing. The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t
