‘‘I feel a strong thread of connection between all Indigenous people suffering at the hands of colonisation, this thread is strong and steadfast while I stand in solidarity with Palestinians as we watch the horrors of a violent genocide play out in real time.

Colonial projects learn from each other to create greater harm and I believe that we must stand with, learn from and fight for Palestinian freedom to create stronger solidarity or else we accept that this violence is ok.

We know from experience how colonial genocide targets our land, our children, our identity and the least we can do is give our strength, our flag and our love to our Palestinian brothers and sisters.’’
