Statements by UN bodies have been unequivocal – Israel’s targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure is in clear violation of international law. Please write to your local political representatives, calling on them to condemn Israeli attacks on Palestinians.
PLEASE TAKE ACTION NOW: Australia must condemn Israeli attacks.
Send a letter to your MP - takes leas than a minute. And please share widely apan.org.au/israel_stop/
