In Dec-Jan, more than 1400 Palestinians, 3/4 of them civilians, were killed when Israel conducted its 22 day war against 1.5 million Palestinians civilians living in the Gaza Strip. Israel’s war came in the Gaza Strip came on the back of Israel’s illegal and brutal two year siege of Gaza which has denied the people of Gaza adequate food, fuel, medicine and electricity. In addition, Israel continues, in contravention, of international law to carry out an illegal 40 year military occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, engaging in Apartheid policies, while continuing to dispossess for more than 60 years the Palestinian people from their homeland.
The Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce (AICC) membership includes more than 1000 leading Australian companies across a broad range of industry sectors. It seeks to vigorously promote bilateral trade between Australia and Israel. On April 24, Australian Prime Minster, Kevin Rudd will be speaking at the AICC’s business luncheon.
