Not In My Name: Act now to support Palestinians in Gaza

The Israeli Government’s war in Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian people, including children. Two million people have been forced into so-called safe zones, which continue to be bombed. There’s no access to life-saving humanitarian assistance, pushing the population to the brink of starvation.   

Through all this, the Australian Government is still:  

  • Making statements without a commitment to real diplomatic, legal or economic measures  
  • Allowing Israel to test ‘lethal’ drones made and designed in Australia  
  • Enabling the supply of parts for F-35 jets that are being used to bomb Gaza’s safe zones  

 
We are horrified at what is being done in our name.  And we know that the majority of Australians are, too.   

Our government’s actions are making us all complicit — but we don’t have to stand for it. We must act now to support Palestinians in Gaza who are living through a genocide. Whether online, on the streets, or in your workplace, together we can make our voices so loud that politicians can no longer ignore us.  

Here are a few ways you can stand with Palestinians in Gaza: 

Sign a letter to Prime Minister Albanese

We’re demanding that the Australian Government takes decisive action now to stop violence and breaches of international law. By adding your name to our letter to Prime Minister Albanese, you can strengthen our call.

The situation in Gaza is catastrophic, tens of thousands of people have already died. Millions are trapped, starving, and denied essential aid. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Our government must take decisive action NOW: 

  • On holding Israel accountable for their violations of international law. 
  • On discontinuing supply of parts to F-35 jets that are being used in the military bombardment on safe zones in Gaza. 

They remain complicit in all our names. I refuse to accept this, I refuse to be a bystander. That’s why I say, @AlboMP, Not In My Name. Sign Oxfam Australia’s open letter calling for urgent action: a permanent ceasefire, humanitarian access, and accountability and tell the Australian Government, Not In My Name. #NotInMyName #CeasefireNow
