No right to slaughter civilians and children.
No right to starve people.
No right to breach international law.

Israel is escalating a genocide - cutting aid, erasing towns, and leaving tens of thousands buried under rubble.
And as this continues, Australia rolls out the red carpet for Isaac Herzog, granting legitimacy and ceremony while atrocities intensify.
Reject Herzog's visit.

Israel’s blockade is starving Gaza. Countries are calling for it to be lifted. Australia’s Foreign Minister has said almost nothing.
Silence while people starve is complicity.
Tell Penny Wong to break the silence, demand the aid be allowed in, and act now.
