Voices 4 Palestine II Menzies 4 Palestine Interview II NT Report II This is the Week II Don Sutherland II
Headlines: This week, Slovenia imposed sanctions on Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the first EU state to do so. The Slovenian government  cited the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in November 2024, on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity allegedly committed in Gaza since October 2023and the July 2024 advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) affirming the illegality of Israel's occupation and the obligations of third states not to recognise it.Israel Strike of the West Asian region including strikes on Yemen as well as a quick report of the most recent UN meeting of the general assembly. From the desk of Prof. Mazin Qumsiyeh who can follow here:The most shocking thing at the UN is not what you expect. Netanyahu'sspeech was largely boycotted by most delegates who walked out. He said whatyou expect him to say: doubling down on his rhetoric and threatening thewhole world (at one point saying to watch what he does when he returns to"Israel" in response to the recognition of a state of Palestine).  DonaldTrump spoke, rambling boisterous, dismissive of the world, self centered,and lying as usual. He said to his stunned silent audience: "I am reallygood at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell... It is true I havebeen right about everything."  But this was all expected. Also expectedthat other western countries, knowing a western-suppored genocide is goingon, try to wiggle out of it by declaring support for a Palestinian statewithout Palestinian rights. For example France and England want the stateto lie about history in school textbooks, to deny indigenous people rights(especially right of return), and most importantly to delegitimizeresistance to colonialism. Mahmoud Abbas whose term expired 15 years agogave a UN speech by video after being denied a visa by the US. Instead ofrallying against the US/Israeli dictats, he tried to reassure them that hewill disarm the resistance etc. In short they all want to support apartheidbut differ on best way forward! The recognition of the "state of Palestine"is conditional on acceptance of a racist apartheid genocidal regime in thesame was as recognition in apartheid South Africa of the fake Zululandbantustan! But the situation here is far worse than apartheid in SouthAfrica. There it was settler colonialism and here it is DISPLACEMNT andETHNIC CLEANSING and GENOCIDE in a scale not seen in the past 100 years.8.5 million Palestinians are refugees or displaced people. Hardly anyonemaking speeches at the UN mentioned this or came close to making the rightdiagnosis of what ails us.  But there were notable exceptions such asVenezuela (hence Trump is bombing it). The reality is that the mostshocking thing at the UN theater of the absurd is the discord betweentalking about Israel being isolated while taking no practical steps to stopthis genocidal regime which still exterminating civilians, attacking shipsin International waters, bombing nearby countries, torturing politicalprisoners, and starving our people. No UN speech saves a single child. Whatis needed is boycotts, divestments and sanctions (bdsmovement.net).Report about the Italian general strike and the applicable lessons to the Australian concept and what can be done about mobilising community groups towards collective and autonomous action. Francesca Albanese speech from Together for Palestine. Voices 4 Palestine II here Comrade Viviene Langford brings us another report from the Sydney rallies, this week we hear from Angus Macflane of the ASU about a union response and responsibility. Menzies 4 Palestine Interview II hereStratos from the community group Menzies for Palestine drops in for a quick chat on community organzing They are having a rally at Eltham Town Square on Arthur Street on the Saturday 4th of October. Speakers will include:Jizelle Hanna - CPSU Victorian SecretarySamanthi Gunawardna Stephen Clandinnen - Nillumbik 4 PalestineSong - DRMNGNOW - Pray NT Report II hereThe last two weeks have seen reports of an NT man that plead guilty to a fatal hit and run that saw the death of one First Nations man and the severe injury of another.

This corrupt social cleansing of the city will displace people, push up rent and house prices, and make huge profits for developers. Once public assets are sold off, they are all but lost to the private sector, and the rally on Saturday 2 August at 11am may be the last chance to fully mobilise before the first tower comes down.This is the Week that Was with Kevin Healey II hereThe implacable comrade Kevin Healey keeps us updated with everything thats happened this week in his inimitable style. Don Sutherland from Solidarity Dynamics Interview II hereInterviewing regarding the upcoming Economic Roundtable the government has organised and its implicaitons on the working class, an in depth analysis of the situation as it stands.
