📣 Join us! Protest Israeli President Isaac Herzog
Nationwide rallies Monday 9 February - war criminals not welcome here!
🪧 Newcastle/Muloobinba rally
📆 Monday 9 February 5.30pm
📍 Newcastle City Hall (King St, opp. Civic Park)
It is hard to imagine, but the Australian Government, despite all the talk of social cohesion, and despite passing new hate speech laws, is planning to welcome to this country Israel’s President Isaac Herzog from 9-12 February.
Herzog has been found by the UN commission of inquiry to have personally “incited the commission of genocide” through his abhorrent comments justifying the widespread killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. He is not a faith or cultural leader of the Jewish community, but a politician and the official head of the Israeli state, which has now admitted to killing at least 71,000 people in Gaza, in what is widely held to be an ongoing genocide. Herzog opposes the recognition or creation of a Palestinian state, and supports illegal Israeli West Bank settlements.
We call for:
- The Australian Government to rescind the invitation to Isaac Herzog to visit Australia.
- Herzog, if he lands in Australia, to be arrested and investigated for alleged breaches of Australian and international law covering genocide and hate speech.
- The Australian Government to sanction Israel and end the two-way arms trade.
- The scrapping of anti-protest laws.
Spread the word and be there!
Despite Chris Minns’ best efforts, it is still completely legal to gather for a mass, peaceful assembly ✊
