Powerful online campaign to #SanctionIsrael
A women-led online campaign is calling on the Australian government to sanction Israel over the conflict in the Middle East, which is “tearing apart” human rights, press freedoms, healthcare and more.
The idea was sparked by model and human rights advocate Luisa Dunn, who has 1.3 million followers on Instagram and features many other high profile Australians, including broadcaster and author Antoinette Lattouf, lawyer Ramia Abdo Sultan, and musician and disability advocate Eliza Hull.
Others in the video include medical doctor and media personality Dr Preeya Alexander, comedian Lewis Garnham and pianist Jayson Gillham – whose show was controversially cancelled by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra earlier this year after dedicating a song ‘Witness’ to slain Palestinian journalists.
