We are deeply disturbed by the brutal actions in Occupied Palestine, particularly Gaza. Our hearts ache for the lives lost and the destruction caused.

We believe that every entity has a role to play in advocating for peace, including corporations like Optus.

Optus is currently sponsoring the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce (AICC), an organisation that mediates trade with Israel. By doing so, they indirectly support a government involved in conflicts causing immense suffering and loss. Australia has responsibilities to uphold international law, including a duty to prevent forced displacement, genocide and ethnic cleansing.

We demand that Optus cease its sponsorship of AICC until the Israeli military ends its assault on Gaza and there is  total ceasefire in Gaza, a military withdrawal from all of Occupied Palestine, and allows unimpeded access for all forms of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the West Bank.

This petition serves as an initial step towards raising public awareness about AICC's role in mediating trade with Israel. Once informed, we hope Australians will join us in demanding our government sanction Israel until it ceases these brutalities and ongoing flagrant violations of international law and its denial of the Palestinian people’s fundamental human rights..

By signing this petition, you are urging Optus to take a stand against violence and injustice.
