International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People: Adam Bandt
Adam Bandt marks the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Excerpts from Adam’s speech:
“The Greens recognise the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and a future built on peace, dignity, justice and security.”
“All people have the right to peace, justice and freedom, and we want to see those rights valued equally for all… but, for decades, Palestinians have lived under occupation, and they are denied these rights. Israelis are entitled to their own state and to live in peace and security, but so too are Palestinians.”
“Australia should recognise Palestine and advocate meaningfully for an end to the occupation, including ceasing the expansion of settlements and ending the Gaza blockade so that Palestinians and Israelis can live in a just and lasting peace.”
“I pay tribute to the sumud, or steadfast perseverance, of the Palestinian people and offer our support to get Australia to push for a just and lasting peace.”
