“Banning imports from settlements deemed illegal by the United Nations under Article 49 of the Geneva Convention is the bare minimum. Once again Australia is at the back of the pack when it comes to upholding our international law obligations." #Auspol #Genocide
The Jewish Council of Australia welcomes moves by twelve countries including the UK, Canada, and France in restricting trade with illegal West Bank settlements and urges Australia to follow suit, and then go further by implementing country-
level sanctions.Bart Shteinman, Executive Officer of the Jewish Council
of Australia said: "Banning imports from settlements deemed illegal
by the United Nations under Article 49 of the Geneva Convention is the bare
minimum. Once again Australia is at the back of the pack when it comes to upholding our international
law obligations."The immediate diplomatic backlash to the ban from Israel only proves how closely the settler movement works
with the Israeli government. Settler violence and settlement expansion are part of the same enterprise - funded through government budgets and facilitated
by the Israeli military."This genocidal regime will continue to operate with impunity until more
countries take action. Australia's desire to continue doing trade with illegal entities while paying lip service to human rights concerns is
beyond comprehension.
