BDS_Australia encourages actions that support the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions campaigning initiated by the BDS National Committee in Palestine
@BDSMovement
We are now rolling into phase two of the Superannuation Fund Divestment campaign: send a formal complaint to your super fund demanding they divest from companies profiting from Israel’s illegal settlements on Palestinian land.

Arrente man Declan Furber Gillick:
“Palestinians are being bombed relentlessly by a genocidal apartheid regime that uses military intelligence gathered on Arrente country and I won’t stand for it”
Support justice for Palestinians?
Don’t fund your retirement on the dispossession of Palestinians.
Ask your superfund if they invest in companies linked to illegal Israeli settlements.

UNRWA employs 30,000 people.
Israel claims 12 were involved in the 7 October attack.That's 0.04%.You are responding to this minuscule unproven allegation while over 2 million people are starving and taking no action on the ICJ’s ruling that Israel is plausibly commiting genocide.
You know what indefinite detention is and how the High Court ruled that it is illegal finally. Israel keeps many thousands of Palestinians in what they call ‘arbitrary detention’ -no charge / no sentence / no rights.This is apartheid Israel - it’s been doing it for many decades.

@abcnews
this is the West Bank so it’s not “Hamas-run” health ministry it’s the PA. No need to introduce mistakes into the AP/Reuters work to try to make Palestinians look bad in the context of an unambiguous Israeli war crime.
If the ICJ court rules that Israel is committing genocide, then Australian citizens currently serving in the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) these people should be charged.
Will Australia ignore ICJ if Court rules against Israel in genocide case, and what of Australians serving in IDF and weapons exports?
