I’m just an average Aussie bloke but I can no longer contain my anguish and outrage … I must express it by publicly protesting the continuing death and destruction occurring in Gaza and the West Bank of the Middle East.

The TV footage of injured, dead and emaciated women and children reduces me to tears and has me looking around for ways I may be able to help them.

What is happening is obscenely inhumane and it should not be happening to our fellow human beings in our day and age after all our lessons of history.

Look beyond the mainstream media that obscures the truth, do your own research, and you will share my anguish about the hurt and suffering of these people. (For a free, balanced view, click here)

You and I can do something about it.

It’s an opportune time for personal action, to write today to our newly elected federal government and request it to make our country stand proud again among nations by:

• starting and continuing to protest, in the strongest terms, the relentless predations on and the starving of these people until all the dreadful hurt and suffering in Gaza and the West Bank stops, and
• by insisting that Israel and the US immediately and permanently commit to the right of nationhood for the people of Gaza and the West Bank on their own land, and to just simply respect the human rights of all humankind.
