Palestine has long been described as a ‘litmus test’ where solidarity with Palestine is not just about our individual choices, but also about our collective ability. There’s the reality of a global narrative - that has legitimated oppression for many decades.

This week we were honoured to speak to third-generation Palestinian refugee and organiser Amal Naser, and independent journalist and audio editor for the The Sunday Paper, Mell Chun. 

Together they delved into a rich and detailed conversation about what we need to be paying attention to on the ground in Palestine, the power of global boycotts to bring Israel occupation into account, as well as deepening the relationships of interracial solidarity to move towards freedom for all displaced, First Nations communities across the globe. 

There are many great resources that introduce the Palestinian Liberation Movement, Decolonize Palestine has some 101 resources as well as the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network.
