NewsPalestinian Community Seeks Union SupportBy Phil Davey
Long standing Palestinian representative in Australia Mr Ali Kazak spoke at Labor Council on Thursday. Mr Kazak was in town seeking the support of working Australians for his long suffering people.
Mr Kazak reeled off a long list of UN resolutions which Israel is in violation of, and made clear his peoples appreciation of the consistent support given by the Australian Union movement to the Palestinian cause. Mr Kazak told Labor Council that over 100 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli soldiers in this latest round of killings, and 4,000 wounded. He stated that 30% of these casualties were children. In thanking Mr Kazak for his address, Labor Council Secretary reiterated Council's support for a Palestinian nation existing alongside the Israeli state, and called for both sides in this most traguic off conflicts, to step back from the apocalypse and re-start the quest for a just and final peace.
