Sue Bull: Stop Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza

Sue Bull says Stop Israel’s genocidal attack on Gaza

For there to be a just political settlement, we need to help build a powerful global solidarity movement with the Palestinian people and against Israeli apartheid.

Effective solidarity means building alliances with those who support justice for Palestine such as the union movement, churches, community groups and Palestinian refugees.

The Anthony Albanese Labor government should call on Israel to stop its genocidal war on Gaza and lift the blockade. It should impose and support a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel. It should oppose ongoing Israeli land grabbing and ethnic cleansing support. And, it should support the right of Palestinian refugees to resettle in their traditional homelands with full rights.

Most Palestinians no longer believe that a “two-state solution” is viable. Palestine must become an integrated non-racialised, democratic state, where every citizen has equal rights.

Emphasis Mine

Israel needs to be subsumed into a secular Palestine. The religious apartheid needs to end. No religion has primacy in the new Palestine. The dual citizenship of Israel needs to end: residents need to choose whether they are Palestinians or not.
