CALLING FOR AUSTRALIA TO REVERSE ITS POSITION AT UN RE ISRAEL
“It is a retrograde step by the Australian government to support a UN motion which effectively requires Israel to withdraw from so called “occupied territories” said co-founders of the Indigenous Friends of Israel International, Norman and Barbara Miller today.
Aboriginal leader, Munganbana Norman Miller said, “I will be standing in front of Parliament House Canberra at 2pm Friday 6 December to read out a statement in opposition to this move by the federal government. Interesting, it will be 86 years since Aboriginal William Cooper made a stand against Nazi treatment of Jews in 1938.”
“This hypocritical move to shore up the Muslim vote and drop the Jewish community like a hotcake after pledging that nothing would change if the ALP was elected. It said the ALP would maintain its bipartisan support for Israel and it has changed it position at the UN a number of times dropping bipartisanship and abandoning its ally, Israel.
“The Australian government would rather reward the terrorism of Oct 7 and has continually pushed for a two-state solution when all the terrorists want is a one state solution with the removal of Israel and the Jewish people. Hamas wants Hitler’s Final Solution to prevail in the Middle East where Jews have been systematically ethnic cleansed from Arab lands.
“Australia joined 156 nations yesterday to back a 7-page resolution supporting ‘the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, primarily the right to self-determination and the right to their independent state.’
“While the request for a Palestinian state is understandable, this has been offered to them many times and they have refused because they do not recognise Israel is the ancient homeland of the Jewish people who are Indigenous to that land.
“Australia and Doc Evatt were at the forefront in the United Nations of voting for and offering a 1947 partition plan for the British Mandate to be divided into a Jewish state and an Arab state as the word Palestinian was not in vogue then. The Arabs rejected it.
“Australia and Doc Evatt were at the forefront of accepting Israel as a member of the UN in 1949. Let’s not reverse all our history of support for Israel and reward the terrorism of Oct 7 and beyond.”
