Episode 7. Gaza ceasefire: A glimpse of hope amidst a brutal conflict (2 Dec 2023) After weeks of relentless violence in Gaza, a ceasefire has finally been reached—though it’s a ceasefire that Australia abstained from voting on just weeks ago. Initially planned for four days, it has now been extended twice, with hopes that it will lead to a permanent end to the fighting. As UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres remarked, this ceasefire offers a “glimpse of hope and humanity in the middle of the darkness of war.” In this episode, we explore the immense toll this one-sided conflict has taken, with over 15,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis killed. The civilian casualties, particularly in Gaza, are overwhelming, and the humanitarian crisis continues to deepen. While war should never be reduced to statistics, the stark numbers reveal the disproportionate suffering endured by Palestinians. We also discuss the shifting global sentiment toward the Israel-Palestine conflict, driven in part by younger generations. Platforms like TikTok have played a significant role in bringing new perspectives to light, challenging the traditional narratives presented by mainstream media. As more people engage with the situation, particularly Gen Z and Millennials, there is a growing rejection of the long-standing pro-Israel propaganda, and calls for justice for Palestine are gaining strength. In addition, we examine Australia’s contradictory stance on the two-state solution. While Australia voted against a UN resolution for Israel to withdraw from the occupied Golan Heights, it has also granted temporary protection visas to 860 Palestinians—a move that has sparked predictable backlash from right-wing politicians, who continue to stir fears about social cohesion.
