Gaza ‘Moratorium’
I must have read dozens of excellent articles on these pages, including this one, on various aspects of the situation in Gaza and the Middle East, yet the slaughter of Palestinians continues with barely a murmur from the Australian Government. We need to take our opposition further.
I suggest using the anti-Vietnam protests of the 1960s and early 70s as a model (yes, I was there!). A nationwide, co-ordinated, “Moratorium” would be a good first step. (As well as individual state-based committees, there was also a National Co-ordinating Committee).
The immediate aims of this Moratorium would include, at a minimum, recognition of the State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders, and withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories.
