Why

Despite unprecedented worldwide solidarity with Palestine, Israel has been able to carry through a genocide in Gaza and the West Bank due to the support of Western powers aligned with the US. Now, Trump’s war on Iran has underlined even further how much Israeli brutality serves the interests of an increasingly aggressive US imperialism.

Contrary to what we are told by the Prime Minister, Australia is in fact a major player facilitating Israel’s genocide and US war on Iran.

Pine Gap is central for both Israel and the US’s ability to wage these wars. 

This forum will discuss the role Pine Gap plays in US and Israel militarism, and why we need a movement to shut it down.

All welcome!
