Genocide in Gaza: Australia's Complicity in Israel's Crimes

The Australian government's claim of neutrality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been exposed as a thinly veiled attempt to conceal its complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. Senator Thorpe's impassioned address to the Parliament of Australia revealed the stark reality of Israel's deliberate and intentional starvation of Palestinians, a tactic used to further ethnic cleansing, genocide, and colonization. The Senator highlighted the hypocrisy of the Australian government's sudden concern for the crisis in Gaza, pointing out that the two-year-long violence did not happen overnight, and that Australia's actions have contributed to the humanitarian disaster.

Key Takeaways:

  • Israel's deliberate and intentional starvation of Palestinians is a method of mass murder and a tactic in the ongoing ethnic cleansing, genocide, and colonization of the Palestinian people.
  • The Australian government's suspension of funding to UNRWA, the primary humanitarian agency providing food, water, and medical aid, has contributed to the starvation of Palestinians.
  • The Australian government's provision of bomb bay doors for F-35 jets to Israel, which are used to slaughter innocent civilians, is a direct contribution to Israel's war crimes.
  • Israel's ongoing occupation, apartheid, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine has continued for over 77 years, with one clear goal: to erase Palestinians and take their land.
  • The Australian government's silence on Israel's crimes has given Israel impunity to carry on its genocide, despite strongly worded emails and criticism.
  • The Palestinian population is on the brink of complete annihilation as the genocide enters its final iteration.
  • Senator Thorpe demands urgent action from the Australian government, including a full arms embargo, economic sanctions against Israel, and recognition of a Palestinian state.

Statistics:

  • Over 77 years of Israeli occupation, apartheid, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

  • Israel has received F-35 jets from Australia, which are equipped with bomb bay doors used to slaughter innocent civilians.
