The future Statehood of the Palestinian People should never be dictated by their illegal Occupiers or their Occupiers main sponsor, the US. Self determination is the only solution for peace. The continued denial of that inalienable right is an affront to all of Humanity. Viva Palestina.

George, both Faruqi and Payman display an understanding of the inalienable rights of every human being.

I commend them both for their unwavering, brave stance.

A great band of politicians, journalists and commentators are content to withdraw those rights from Palestinians.

That is racism.

Those rights are as the name states, INALIENABLE, and cannot be withdrawn by the state of Israel, the USA, or Anthony Albanese.

According to the Geneva Convention an OCCUPIED People have the LEGAL RIGHT to resist the Occupier, Israel.

Somehow, Israel has brainwashed the so called Law Abiding Nations, when Palestinians exercise their legal rights under the Geneva Convention, they are the terrorists!

The Whole World, especially the US and England KNEW in 1968, establishing Israeli settlements in OCCUPIED Palestine is ILLEGAL and did nothing to stop Israel expanding ILLEGAL Jewish settlements in violation of International Law. The Old Testament Jewish Religious Establishment became the government of Israel with Netanyahu in January 2023. They just seized the biggest plot of land from the OCCUPIED Palestinians since the 1967 WAR, bringing the simmering pot to a boil.

The arrogance of Western governments deciding whether or not to dismantle Hamas is astounding.

I saw the interview on Insiders last Sunday morning. She equipped herself very well in spite of Speers ' got you ' attempts. When is this man going to grow a spine & do his homework & reflect facts.
