  • Palestine, Land Rights & Environmental Justice

    • Boorloo/Perth & Walyalup/Fremantle

    For over 75 years, Palestinians have resisted occupation, dispossession, and ethnic cleansing.

    Just three weeks after the beginning of a long-awaited ceasefire in Gaza, US president Donald Trump, standing alongside the butcher of Gaza, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has called for the US to 'take over' Gaza and permanently displace its more than two million Palestinian residents.

  • Israel is killing children: Save Gaza

    • Boorloo/Perth & Walyalup/Fremantle

    Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz has openly declared Israel's plan to carry out a genocide in Gaza. In a "final warning" to the entire Gaza civilian population, he says that even if the Gaza population were to expel Hamas and hand over every Israeli prisoner, they would STILL be ethnically cleansed from Gaza ("given the opportunity to leave"). Otherwise, they will be…
