AUSTRALIAN SENATOR DEFIES PRIME MINISTER & CHANTS “FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE”
May 17, 2024Senator Fatima Payman powerful message to the Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, on the anniversary of the Nakba resonated deeply:
“How many lives need to be lost before we say enough?
How many mass graves need to be uncovered before we say enough?
How many images of bloodied limbs of murdered children must we see?
How many horrors need to be repeated before we feel that this should end? How many Palestinian lives are enough to call this violence against them terrorism?
How many lives does it take to call this a genocide?”
I call on you to stand for what is right. We can do something. We can sanction. We can divest. We can stop trade with Israel. We can call for a permanent ceasefire. We can call for an establishment of the Palestinian state.
THANK YOU FATIMA!

English Script:
Fatima Payman: From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. I ask our Prime Minister and our fellow parliamentarians how many international rights laws must Israel break for us to say enough? What is the magic number? How many lives need to be lost before we say enough? How many mass graves need to be uncovered before we say enough? How many images of bloodied limbs of murdered children must we see? How many horrors need to be repeated before we feel that this should end? How many Palestinian lives are enough to call this violence against them terrorism? How many lives does it take to call this a genocide? I ask my colleagues, How many? What are we willing to sacrifice to support what international human rights organizations have called a human rights crisis and a humanitarian disaster? How many? I call on you to stand for what is right. We can do something. We can sanction. We can divest. We can stop trade with Israel. We can call for a permanent ceasefire. We can call for an establishment of the Palestinian state. We can be on the right side of history so that when the young read about us, they can be proud Australians knowing that their country at a time when it was needed, had the moral clarity to do what is right. I ask you to join me to continue to call for freedom from the occupation. Freedom from the violence and freedom from the inequality.
