The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is one of the most significant conflicts of our era. Not in terms of loss of human lives (Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Congo have lost more human beings from conflict in recent years). It is significant because of the amount of daily political and media exposure it receives in western countries. It is significant for those who have loved ones (regardless from what background) living in the region. It is significant for those who seek to ensure the international community upholds principles that are fair and just to all parties.
This blog is part of a series of blogs that are an attempt to show that peace is possible for Palestinians, Palestinian-Israelis and Jewish-Israelis. The hope is that each community will be able to be brave and fearless in addressing wrongs committed in the past, and to work towards building a community for all in the region.
The aims of this blog is identify various positions within the Australian Parliament on the issue of Palestine and Israel. The hope is people may contact those within their spheres of influence to promote a constructive approach to dialogue and understanding; and ensure the protection of fundamental human rights for all people win the region (regardless of background).
