“Australia Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni said it was “profoundly concerning that the foreign minister has framed her visit to the Middle East around continuing to reiterate her support for Israel’s right to defend itself”,” writes Matthew Knott and Olivia Ireland.

“Australian Palestine Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni said it was another case of “Palestine, Palestinians, our history, our cultural heritage and stories being invisibilised, minimised, rewritten, if not completely erased, by an Australian institution at the command of a Zionist lobby group,” writes Paul Sakkal & Anthony Segaert.
“A spokesman for the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network commended Ms Barrientos for her actions, with APAN President Nasser Mashni describing the dress as “a courageous appeal to our shared humanity – a call for us to come together, stop the killing and find a path towards peace and justice for Palestine”,” writes
.
“History will remember those who stood up for the lives and rights of the Palestinian people during these dark days and it will also remember those who exceptionalised and elevated the suffering of only one people over another, driving a deep wedge within our community” – Nasser Mashni, APAN president.

On UN vote calling for humanitarian truce in Gaza – “Melbourne-based Zionist Federation of Australia and the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council wanted Canberra to oppose it outright, while the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network and the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils say the government should have supported it,” writes Deborah Snow.

“Their significant platform should have been used to echo calls by the United Nations for an immediate ceasefire…. How the former prime ministers could have the audacity to quote religious texts about peace while Israel is carpet bombing two million people in Gaza is gut-wrenching hypocrisy” – Nasser Mashni, APAN president.
“The statement’s reference to ‘Australian values of love and respect’ rings hollow, given that the former prime ministers failed to acknowledge the tens of thousands of Australians expressing their horror about Israel’s behaviour, and ignored the anguish that many thousands of Palestinian Australians are currently feeling” – APAN statement.

“Australian Palestinian Advocacy Network president Nasser Mashni said children in Gaza were drinking salt water from makeshift wells, hospitals had cut power to life-saving humidicribs and dialysis machines and some parents had taken to writing name tags on their children’s arms and legs so their bodies can be identified,” writes Chip Le Grand.
