The Communist Party of Australia condemns in the strongest possible terms the Zionist pre-emptive strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The attacks on military and civilian targets have already left hundreds of dead and injured people.
The Israeli attacks on Iran were unprovoked with the usual rhetoric and lies used as excuses for the military action. Israel has the full support of the United States; Israeli wars are not possible without them.
Zionism has been pursuing a Greater Israel policy in the Middle East. Gaza and the West Bank have been under a war on its people with the aim of expelling them from their land, which amounts to genocide.
Equally, Israel has launched military attacks on other countries in the region, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and now Iran. No one is safe in the area with the Netanyahu government’s geopolitical ambitions.
Close to two years of demonstrations across Australia and the world have demanded a ceasefire and an independent Palestinian state. We have put pressure on the Albanese government to respond ethically. Instead, it continues to trade with Israel and uphold political and economic ties with the Zionists, endorsing the genocide on the people of Gaza.
Australia has a very weak government that hasn’t done anything meaningful to stop Israel’s warmongering against the people in the Middle East.
The CPA calls on the Australian government to impose sanctions and cut all military and diplomatic ties with the genocidal government of Israel.
Hands off the Middle East, sanction Israel!
