Picket Kevin Rudd - Oppose Australian Support for Israeli Apartheid!

Picket Kevin Rudd at the United Israel Appeal Refugee Fund.

Oppose Australian support for Israeli Apartheid!

Tuesday March 18, 6:30pm at the main entrance to Crown Casino Hotel (cnr Whiteman and Queensbridge Southbank).

On March 18, the PM will address the United Israel Appeal's (UIA) Refugee Fund Campaign Opening Gala Dinner.

Melbourne Palestine Solidarity Network has organised the picket in opposition to Australian bi-partisan support for Israel's system of apartheid, against the illegal Israeli siege of Gaza and in solidarity with the people of Palestine. While at least 120 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks on Gaza, Kevin Rudd moved a parliamentary motion on March 12 to honour Israel acknowledging Yom Ha'atzmaut (Israel's Independence Day). Australia is a signatory to the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949), which prohibits the punishment of protected persons. For the Australian Government to pass a motion in support of 60 years of ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians by Israel, particularly while Israel is involved in an illegal and brutal siege of Gaza, is a disgraceful violation of our international obligations.
