On May 24, Israeli police launched a nationwide crackdown against Palestinian citizens of Israel. “Operation Law and Order” has led to the arrest of hundreds of Palestinians who participated in last month’s protests, sparked by the imminent expulsion of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah, police raids of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the war on Gaza.
While Israeli occupation forces claim to be targeting both Jewish and Arab “rioters” and “criminals,” the overwhelming majority of those arrested are Palestinian, demonstrating the campaign is fundamentally about suppressing the mass demonstrations and civil disobedience that have risen against Israel’s apartheid policies - including a general strike - in what is being described as the “Unity Intifada.”
Palestinians have for decades stared down a colonialist and apartheid regime backed by the world's most powerful states, including Australia. Right now they need your solidarity.
