Victorian Trades Hall Council
The Victorian Trades Hall Council Executive unanimously passed this resolution.
That this meeting of the Victorian Trades Hall Executive:
Condemns Israel’s latest horrific assault on the people of Palestine, which has resulted in over 600 deaths in the past three weeks – the overwhelming majority of the dead being civilians, and many of them children.
We reiterate previous policy supporting a strategy of boycott, divestment, and sanctions against the state of Israel, similar to actions designed to isolate the former apartheid regime of South Africa.
We support the peaceful community protests called in solidarity with the people of Palestine, to be held on August 1 at 5pm, outside the State Library in Swanston Street, Melbourne.
We urge affiliates to support these protests through attendance, publicity, and other means.
