Statement from ETU Qld NT Branch re: Gaza bombings yesterday March 19
The ETU QLD/NT branch are sickened by the images and reporting that came out of The Gaza Strip yesterday.
The actions by Hamas in October 2023 were brutal and horrific. The actions by Israel since then and in particular yesterday morning during the time of a so-called ceasefire were horrific and brutal.
The flagrant disrespect and disregard for international law and rules by Israel cannot be ignored.
The massive strikes carried out by Israel on Gaza after refusing to allow aid into the strip and cutting off power for more than two weeks, are horrendous and void of humanity.
As the death toll of mostly women and children mounts, The ETU QLD/NT Branch condemns in the strongest possible terms the actions of Israel and stand in solidarity with the innocents caught in this horrific outcome.
The ETU QLD/NT Branch urges the Australian Government to also condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms.
