Webinar: Promoting Israel In Australia

The influence of the Israel lobby on Australian politics and media

What are the main Israel lobbying groups in Australia? What are their legal statuses? And what is their influence on Government and media?

• What is ‘hasbara’? How is the concept of ‘hasbara’ seen and understood by Jews as a civic duty and as a non-political action?

• How is Israel Lobby in Australia involved with far-right organisations? To what extent is Zionism an inherently far-right ideology?

• What was the Israel lobby’s role in the 2025 federal election? How has been the mainstream media coverage of this role?

• How authoritative have been the reports on anti-Semitism in Australia? What has been the role of the special envoy for anti-Semitism?

• To what extent has the Israel lobby been involved in exaggerating and weaponizing anti-Semitism to silence anti-Genocide activism?

BOOK HERE

To answer all these questions and more, please join us in this in-depth discussion with Wendy Bacon and Yaakov Aharon.

Wendy Bacon is an independent investigative journalist and lifelong radical activist. She has investigated miscarriages of justice, deaths in custody, News Corp’s coverage of climate change, urban developments, police corruption and most recently astroturfing in the 2025 Federal election.

Yaakov Aharon is new to journalism, having come from a background of activism. Yaakov brings unique perspectives to the Palestinian struggle, credited to his political journey away from the Ultra Orthodox Jewish and pro-Israel education of his youth. His research concerns the Israel lobby, Jewish community, party politics, and the arms trade.

Join us in this highly educational session to delve deep into the Zionist lobbying groups in Australia and to explore ways to combat their influence in politics and academia: Tuesday, the 3rd of June at 7PM via Zoom.

This event is hosted by Palestine Justice Movement Sydney and Free Palestine Melbourne, in collaboration with Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, Australian Friends of Palestine Association, Friends of Palestine Western Australia, Palestine Action Group Canberra, Tasmanian Palestine Advocacy Network, Justice for Palestine Magan-djin, Northern Beaches Friends of Palestine and Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa and Perth Mums for Palestine.

The webinar will be broadcasted nation-wide and will be recorded and published on the hosting organisations' online platforms for future views.
The video recording will also be sent out to registrants afterwards.

The audio recording of this conversation will also be made available on this Palestinian podcast.

All donations will be used to support Palestinian families in Gaza.

National Day of Protest: Cut Ties With Trump’s America

Trump is trying to trample on workers, trans people, Black people and migrants. His government has let Netanyahu ramp up the genocide in Gaza. He’s carrying out mass deportations and locking up Palestinian activists.

Meanwhile, our government continues its partnership with the US. Albanese sent $800 million in military funding and has invited Trump to Australia.

Join the national protest to cut ties with Trump’s America!

Join the Global Action Against Chevron, Caltex and Texaco

Actions in various cities around Australia on from 23 May - 25 May 2025

See graphic below for cities and times!

This is a Palestinian BDS Committee registered global action

The Palestinian BDS National Committee has called for a worldwide week of action targeting Chevron’s entire portfolio, including Caltex (in Australia and other regions) and Texaco (in the United States). This campaign begins one week before Chevron’s shareholder meeting — and it’s not just symbolic. It’s a direct stand against a corporation profiting from genocide and apartheid.

Chevron is deeply complicit in Israel’s ongoing war crimes against the Palestinian people. Their hands are soaked in the fossil fuels of occupation and bloodshed.

Why boycott Chevron?

The BDS Movement calls for a boycott of Chevron for:

1. Operating on stolen Palestinian land through its partnership with Israeli energy companies.

2. Profiting from the theft of Palestinian natural gas, helping Israel weaponise energy as a tool of oppression.

3. Financing a regime committing genocide in Gaza, with thousands of civilians murdered, entire neighbourhoods flattened, and no accountability.

4. Supporting Israeli apartheid, a system of racial domination recognised by global human rights organisations.

5. Environmental devastation — Chevron’s projects have left communities across the world poisoned, displaced, and silenced. Palestine is not the first — but it must be the last.

This is the moment to act.

Boycott Chevron. Boycott Caltex. Boycott Texaco. Tell the world that genocide will not be rewarded with profit.

Silence is complicity. Action is solidarity.

Stand with Palestine.

Nakba Rally

The Ongoing Nakba: Occupation Apartheid Genocide

Adelaide/Tarntanya

2pm Sunday 18 May Parliament House Steps

The Nakba never ended and now Israel has turned it into a genocide right before our eyes!

Come, protest, and demand that it stops NOW!

We will conduct a SILENT PROCESSION through Rundle Mall at the end of the rally

We demand that our government sanctions Israel

For 77 years, since the creation of the state of Israel, the world has stood by and let the Israelis take more and more Palestinian land. For 77 years, the Israelis have committed massacres and atrocities and the world has let them!

The Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic) refers to the violent expulsion of approximately three quarters of all Palestinians from their homes and homeland by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army during the state of Israel’s establishment (1947-49). The Nakba was a deliberate and systematic act intended to establish a Jewish-majority state in Palestine. Amongst themselves, Zionist leaders used the euphemism “transfer” when discussing plans for what today would be called ethnic cleansing. (From Institute for Middle East Understanding)

Now the world is standing by and letting Israel, backed by the US and with the acquiesce of governments like our own, commit the world’s first direct-broadcast genocide!

And our global institutions and instruments, built after World War II on the basis that the horror of a genocide against the Jewish people would never happen again to any other people, are completely impotent. Palestine is THE issue that has unmasked the fallacy of human rights and equality for all. This genocide has revealed that the UN, the Security Council, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, international law and domestic law are as effective as Israel’s backers want them to be. Our politicians pick and chose which people have human rights and which state leaders are war criminals.

THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT MUST:

• Demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire

• Demand that unfettered humanitarian aid immediately is allowed into Gaza

• Impose sanctions on Israel

• Recall the Australian ambassador to Israel and expel the Israeli Ambassador to Australia

• Establish an arms embargo on Israel and ban all defense materiel produced in Australia from being sent to Israel

• Demand an end to the occupation and apartheid

• Recognise Palestine as a State.

Next Big Community Ride for Palestine!

We welcome members of the community to join us.

Candlelight Vigil to Mark 77 years of the Nakba that never ended

Every year on May 15, Palestinians around the world mark the Nakba, or catastrophe, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948

The Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic) refers to the violent expulsion of approximately three quarters of all Palestinians from their homes and homeland by Zionist militias and the new Israeli army during the state of Israel’s establishment (1947-49).

The Nakba was a deliberate and systematic act intended to establish a Jewish-majority state in Palestine. Amongst themselves, Zionist leaders used the euphemism “transfer” when discussing plans for what today would be called ethnic cleansing. (From Institute for Middle East Understanding)

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!

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.

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!
