Demand Australia sanctions Israel now.

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza – bombing Palestinians, incinerating refugees in their tents, starving families, and destroying essential infrastructure. Over 186,000 Palestinians have been killed, yet the Australian Government refuses to sanction Israel. In fact, it seems to have committed itself to shielding this genocidal, apartheid regime from accountability.

Instead, Australia has sanctioned Iranian individuals, blatantly ignoring Israel's ongoing war crimes and atrocities. This double standard is an outrage and a clear message that Palestinian lives are seen as expendable. Enough is enough!

We need your voice. Send this letter to your MP, Senators, the Prime Minister, and Foreign Minister. Demand immediate sanctions on Israel for its genocide in Gaza, its illegal occupation, and its apartheid regime.

Australia must stop protecting Israel. It must stop treating Palestinians lives as though they are disposable. Together, we must ensure our government stands for justice and human rights in Palestine.

I am writing to demand that the Australian Government impose immediate sanctions on Israel for its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Israel’s unrelenting war crimes, including systematic bombings, mass starvation, and the deliberate destruction of essential infrastructure, have claimed the lives of an estimated 186,000 Palestinians. The Australian Government’s refusal to sanction Israel in the face of these atrocities is a gross failure of moral responsibility and reveals a shocking complicity in this genocide.

The Australian Government’s recent decision to impose sanctions on Iranian individuals, while ignoring the Israel’s genocidal project in Gaza, its apartheid and illegal occupation across Palestine and its invasion and terrorism in Lebanon, demonstrates a blatant and indefensible double standard. It is a stark display of racist bias in Australian foreign policy, shielding Israel from accountability while it annihilates an entire population.

The bombing of Palestinian refugees in Deir el-Balah, where families were incinerated in their tents outside a hospital, is just one of the many horrifying examples of Israel’s ongoing campaign of extermination. Reports of a 'genocide within a genocide' in northern Gaza – where humanitarian aid and food deliveries have been blocked in a deliberate strategy of annihilation of the Palestinian population – only underscore the urgent need for decisive action.

Australia’s continued refusal to impose sanctions on Israel, even as it engages in reckless and destabilising actions in Lebanon and Syria, makes a mockery of the government's supposed commitment to human rights and international law.

It also sends a clear and disturbing message that Palestinian and Arab lives are viewed as expendable, unworthy of the same protections afforded to others.

It is imperative that Australia takes immediate and decisive action by sanctioning Israel for its genocide in Gaza, its illegal occupation of Palestinian land, and its apartheid regime. Australia cannot continue to protect Israel at the cost of millions of Palestinian lives. This failure to act is not only catastrophic, but reflects complicity in genocide.

I also call on the Australian Government to put an end to the racist double standards that have allowed Israel’s decades of war crimes and violations of international law to go unchecked. The time for excuses is over. The world is watching, and it is past time that Australia lived up to its obligations under international law.
