2pm, Sunday 13 April 2025

Rally for Palestine and Humanity!

In March, 15 paramedics and humanitarian workers were massacred in Gaza by Israeli military forces. In April,10 people were burned alive or blown to pieces when Israel bombed in a direct hit, a tent being used as a base for journalists; the tent was pitched in front of Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Has our government condemned Israel for these massacres? The answer is NO.

Has our government condemned Israel for its illegal invasion of Gaza? The answer is NO.

Has our government imposed sanctions on Israel for its total disregard for human life and international law? The answer is NO.

Does our government have any guts at all? The answer is a resounding NO!

Imagine what our government would have said and done if these war crimes and atrocities had been committed by Russia? According to the website of the Australian Foreign Affairs Minister, Senator Penny Wong, “Australia has now imposed a total of more than 1,400 sanctions in response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The Government has taken decisive action to ensure Australians are not inadvertently fuelling Russia's war economy”.

So, given the total destruction of Gaza and the murder of thousands and thousands of people, including more than 15,000 children (UNICEF), where are the Australian sanctions on Israel? Israel is conducting, with apparent impunity and protection from countries such as our own, massacres on a daily basis, stealing and appropriating Palestinian land and conducting a genocide in front of the world’s eyes. And, unlike in the case of Russia, our government has taken no action to ensure that we Australians are not inadvertently fuelling Israel’s genocide.

Demand our government acts on its obligations under international law! As Israel continues its genocide in Gaza we continue to demand:

• an immediate and permanent ceasefire

• that unfettered humanitarian aid immediately is allowed into Gaza

• that our government imposes sanctions on Israel

• that our government recalls the Australian ambassador to Israel and expels the Israeli Ambassador to Australia

• that Australia establishes an arms embargo on Israel and all defense materiel produced in Australia is banned from being sent to Israel

• an end to the occupation and apartheid.

Come and rally again to stand with others who believe in humanity!

Palestine Cultural Day 2025: “The Soul of Our Soul”

Join the South Australian Palestinian community as we unfold the pages of our Palestinian story and discover Palestine through the lens of its people.

In the face of unparalleled devastation and unimaginable oppression, Gaza and the resilient Palestinian people have imparted on us profound lessons in humanity. Let us unite to honour and recognize them – their resilient history, cherished heritage, vibrant culture, and enduring soul.

Discover Palestine and its people: the Soul of Our Soul.

Come along, wear your Kuffiyeh, and together let us continue to write the unwavering story of Palestine.

This event is occurring on Kaurna land. We acknowledge the ongoing sovereignty and connection to land, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. The fight for land rights on this continent is inherently connected to that of Palestine.

This is a family friendly event. Anti-Palestinian, racist and anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated, on a one-strike basis.

International Day of Quds

Friday 28 March 2025, 6pm

Beehive Corner, Rundle Mall, Adelaide

Join us Friday 28 March to commemorate the International Day of Quds.

Israel has broken the ceasefire and has re-committed its genocide against the besieged people of Gaza.

Friday the 28th of March
Last Friday of Ramadan

Beehive Corner, Rundle Mall.

SNAP RALLY

SANCTION ISRAEL NOW!

Israel never complied with the ceasefire. The starvation policy continued. The killing of civilians continued. The cutting off water and electricity continued. The ethnic cleansing in the West Bank continued. The torture the rape the degradation the sadism all continued. The ceasefire did not exist. What we had was a slowing down of killings, and now that too will continue at its former speed. (Samah Sabawi)

At Tuesday evening 18 March, Israel has killed at least 400 people in Gaza by resuming aerial bombing of an already devastated Gaza Strip. They are bombing people whom they have been starving for the last two weeks through weaponisation of food aid - no food aid has entered Gaza since 2 March 2025.

We DEMAND the Israelis are stopped!

THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT MUST:

• Demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and lifting of the 17-year land, sea and air blockade.

• Pressure its ally, Israel, to facilitate unrestricted access to abundant humanitarian aid into Gaza.

• Compel Israel to reverse its ban on UNRWA and condemn the devasting impacts, for the 6 million Palestinian refugees and the victims of this genocide, which Israel has created.

• Take immediate action against Israel’s unrelenting and escalating ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, including the most recent intensification of killings and destruction in refugee camps.

• Insist on the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from all the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

• Impose sanctions on Israeli for its genocide, illegal occupation and apartheid.

• Recognise Israel as an apartheid State and demand that it dismantles its Jewish supremacy policies and practices.

• Terminate all weapons and weapons components manufacturing contracts with Israel, including collaboration on military research and intelligence sharing.

• Lead collective international actions to enforce international Court rulings against Israel.

• Expel the Israeli Ambassador and recall Australia’s Ambassador to Israel.

• End all diplomatic, military, economic, trade, cultural and sporting ties with Israel to compel the rogue State to end its illegal occupation and apartheid regime.

• Enforce the arrest warrants issued by the ICC for Israel’s Prime Minister and former Defence Minister.

• Immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.

• Affirm that criticism of Israel is not anti-semitic and push back against those who conflate criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.

• Defend the rights of the Palestine solidarity movement to free speech, intellectual freedom and freedom to protest from those who seek to silence, smear and discredit advocates of justice, human rights and the application of international law equally to all people.

• Acknowledge that the Israeli settler-colonial project of ethnic cleansing, occupation and apartheid are incompatible with Australian democratic values.

Rally for Free Speech at Adelaide’s Universities

Oppose the definition of antisemitism adopted by 39 Australian universities!

Adelaide rally to denounce the adoption of a new definition of antisemitism at South Australia's universities 

A new definition of antisemitism that is in alignment with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition is to be adopted immediately by 39 universities in Australia. 

This new definition, like that of the IHRA, conflates antisemitism and Zionism and criticism of Israel to shut down staff and students around Australia who are standing up for justice for Palestinians and against genocide.

Rally in support of staff and students at our universities!

Join Health Care Workers in Adelaide’s Rundle Mall

Healthcare is not a target!

Gaza medics remain illegally detained without charge in Israeli prisons. The bodies of some who have been tortured to death haven't even been returned to their families. All while Israel repeatedly dishonours the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, and ramps up its violent aggression in the West Bank. Join us as we remind Adelaide that the fight for freedom and justice in Palestine is not over.

Palestine At The Epicentre Of A ‘New Middle East’

Pushing the boundaries of International Law to advance colonialism, oligarchy and empire

• What does Trump’s proposed “Transfer” plan, historically and ideologically, mean for the state of Israel? How practical is this plan? And how would the Arab countries respond to it?

• How does Trump’s proposition impact the rule of law following the new American sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and South Africa in light of its application to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of Genocide?

• What is Trump’s vision for Palestine and the ‘New Middle East’? And how does the formation of his administration influence such a vision?

• Is there a place for a ‘Free Palestine’ in the ‘New Middle East’? And what does the international recognition of a ‘Palestinian State’ actually mean under the current circumstances?

• Can the anti-genocide movement succeed to bring about justice for Palestine at a time of an oligarchs-funded mass hi-tech silencing?

To answer all these questions and more, please join us in this important discussion with Palestinian-Dutch analyst and commentator on Palestinian affairs, Mouin Rabbani.

Among other positions, Mouin Rabbani has served as Principal Political Affairs Officer with the Office of the UN Special Envoy for Syria, Head of Middle East with the Martti Ahtisaari Peace Foundation, Senior Middle East Analyst and Special Advisor on Israel- Palestine with the International Crisis Group, and Researcher with Al-Haq, West Bank affiliate of the International Commission of Jurists.

Rabbani is Co-Editor of Jadaliyya, where he also hosts the Connections podcast, co- hosts the Long Form Conversations podcast, and edits its Quick Thoughts feature. He is also Contributing Editor of Middle East Report.

Rabbani is Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Centre for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies (CHS), and Non-Resident Fellow at both the Middle East Council on Global Affairs and Democracy for the Arab World Now (DAWN).

Big Ride for Palestine SA

First 2025 Community Ride

The Big Ride for Palestine SA are pleased to invite you to the first 2025 Community Ride.

We will try out the Mike Turtur bike path for the first time, down to Wigley Reserve for coffee and then returning to the City. Many of you may be familiar with this popular bike path. It will be a relaxed ride avoiding major roads for much of the ride to Wigley Reserve where we will stop for coffee and a chat. Marshals will assist us there and back.

If you haven’t had the chance to do much riding over summer, give your bike a quick chain lube, pump up your tyres and check some of those nuts and bolts that always manage to wriggle loose.

Tell your friends and we hope you will join us at the assembly point near the Magistrates Court in Vic Square.

Donald Trump should be in jail!

Palestine is not for sale!!

Vigil at Royal Adelaide Hospital

From the 25th to the 29th of January 2025, health workers from all over the world held a rally and white tent protest in front of the UN headquarters in Geneva to demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

This vigil replicates those demands and also calls for the immediate protection of medical staff and patients in the besieged territory. After 1196 healthcare workers killed, 264 unlawfully detained, 516 attacks on health facilities, 0 fully functioning hospitals, and >9000 requests for medical evacuations denied, Palestinians are still enduring genocide due to Israel's decimation of the Gaza's healthcare system.

The Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Struggle

The Axis of Resistance and the Fragile Ceasefire Deals - Teetering on the Brink of a ‘New Middle East’

• Can the ceasefire deals in Lebanon and Gaza be considered a victory for the axis of resistance?

• What perspectives does the ceasefire deal in Gaza present about the state of Israel, the prospects of a Palestinian state and the future of the wider region?

• Is there still a chance for unity within the Palestinian political ecosystem? How is the current situation in the West Bank impacting the unity efforts?

• Should there be a place for uncompromising parties like Hamas in any future Palestinian polity?

• How will the concept of ‘resistance’, in support of the Palestinian struggle for justice, endure in the face of another Trump administration?

To answer all these questions and more, please join us in this brilliant discussion with Abdaljawad Omar.

Abdaljawad is a Palestinian assistant professor and writer based in Al-Bireh, Palestine. He teaches in the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Studies at Birzeit University. His work explores questions of colonialism, resistance, and ideology, with a focus on Palestine.

In addition to his academic research, he is a regular contributor to Mondoweiss, Electronic Intifada, and other publications, where he provides commentary on contemporary political and intellectual developments.

Join us on Wednesday, the 19th of February at 7PM in this highly educational conversation with Abdaljawad.
