It's a very low bar, Palestine's

best friend as Prime Minister, you know, with the likes previously of Scott Morrison and others, Tony Abbott and so forth.

But we continue to be disappointed.

And we're disappointed not just as Australian Palestinians, but we're also, and our allies, but we're disappointed as human beings as It's just beyond the pale, beyond the pale, that three years later, we've seen the utter decimation of Gaza, an ecocide, a scholasticide, a situation where 92% of the residential accommodation has been completely obliterated.

that our country, that Australia, the land of my birth and so many of us that gave refuge to people like my father following the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, continues to participate in supply weaponry, intelligence, and diplomatic cover for what we're seeing in Gaza.

And this live stream genocide, never before, never before has a genocide been streamed live to our handsets, in our bedrooms, in our lounge rooms.

Australians know Australians know what they've seen.

Getting into the last question, Nasser, what do you say to those who support Palestine but perhaps have not been to a demonstration before? Why is it important that they come along to the Global Day for Gaza on October 11th and how can people get involved beyond that day?

What did it mean for APAN?

Look, we, we were, uh, I, I know I, I talked you through, if you will, a, a genesis of, of this space.

In 2002, Israel went into the Jenin refugee camp in Palestine, in occupied, uh, West Bank, and just committed the sort of crimes you expect from Israel, death, destruction, murder, rape, et cetera.

Um, and I was listening to a radio interview, and I, um, on the ABC, and they found somebody, and he was, you know, respectfully, you know, English was his second language, and he was doing his best to speak about the injustice.

But I ended up finding out that he was from Pakistan, and he was, uh, in western Brisbane, in, in Ipswich.

Anyway, you know, Google wasn't what Google is today, but it took me the best part of two weeks to find him, and I called him up and I said, "Look, we've got this organization called Australians for Palestine.

If for whatever reason you ever get a call again about Palestine, I'd really appreciate it if you gave them our number, and if we ever get a call about Pakistan, we'll give them your number." And, you know, we had a bit of a giggle and he laughed and, and he agreed.

And I don't think you're gonna get it from the result of this Royal Commission on antisemitism.
