Solidarity has been at the heart of the struggle fighting for Palestine, opposing March for Australia and standing up for refugees.

But all this takes money. So we’re asking you to make a donation. Every donation over $10 is in the draw to win prizes.

The New York Times reports that in the aftermath of 7 October 2023, 47 per cent of American voters supported Israel and 20 per cent the Palestinians.

In a new poll, 34 per cent said they sided with Israel and 35 per cent with Palestinians.

Israel is truly a pariah state.
