The US and Israel are wreaking death and destruction with Australia’s full support.
Israel is continuing to strike Gaza, killing Palestinians and destroying vital medical supplies, despite Hamas negotiating an agreement with Trump’s “Board of Peace” to decommission its weapons. These actions demonstrate that Israel wants nothing short of complete genocide, and the US continues to provide the weapons to carry it out.
Australia is deeply implicated in the supply chain for these weapons, including armoured steel, F-35 fighter jet parts and explosives. It also supplies intelligence through the Pine Gap spy base in central Australia that can be used by Israel to pinpoint targets.
If Albanese wanted to help stop the genocide he could cut off this support today. But he is desperate to deepen the US alliance and firm up AUKUS.
In July the Albanese government announced another $4.6 billion to build AUKUS submarines in South Australia. This is on top of the $368 billion they had already committed.
The AUKUS agreement is far from a defensive measure: it is escalating tension with China, plunging money into submarines that could be spent on essential services, and threatening communities including First Nations peoples with nuclear waste dumps on their land.
This International Day of Peace, join the growing calls to scrap AUKUS and stop backing the US and Israel’s wars.
- Scrap AUKUS
- End Palestine genocide
- No nuclear waste on First Peoples’ country
