The time has come for a Palestinian nation
The political leaders of Israel have long spoken of an existential threat. Critics, and many of its well-meaning friends have offered suggestions about the reasonable or fair thing to do. But its enemies and many of its neighbours, Israel says, want the annihilation of the very idea of the Jewish state.

The Australian Government has a choice: stand with justice, or stand in the way. Supporting justice means a genuine commitment to Palestinian self-determination, not dictating terms. It means ending complicity with Israel and imposing sanctions.
