Thanks for the article on Ali Kazak

May 19, 2025

I would like to thank the management of Pearls and Irritations for publishing the article from November last year by Stuart Rees on Ali Kazak, following Ali’s passing away last Sunday in Thailand on his way to Palestine.

No person in Australia has worked harder for truth and justice for Palestine than Ali, a man I was pleased to call my friend for more than 50 years, and from whose writing and advocacy, which took many forms, was able to show the real truth in Palestine,

He has tried to encourage the Western media to show the real truth in regards to his country of birth, such untruthful coverage being the reason why Israel has been able to mercilessly continue its genocidal crimes.

There has been a need for people like Ali and so many others and publications like P&I to devote their efforts to call for some form of international justice and/or intervention by the United Nations, neither of which has been forthcoming.

So thank you P&I. Your efforts and honest support have been appreciated by so many Australians. Ali and his cause will never be forgotten
