Free Palestine Melbourne is a community organisation dedicated to raising public awareness of the Palestinians’ hundred year struggle for freedom.
Our goals are:
- To act in solidarity with the Palestinian people in their calls for peace and justice in Palestine, and right to self-determination and freedom;
- To work for justice and equality for all Palestinians in accordance with principles of international law and human rights, including the right of return;
- To create space for and promote Palestinian voices, and foster increased awareness of the Palestinian struggle
Free Palestine Melbourne meets monthly. We welcome the participation of anyone who supports a just peace in Palestine based on universal human rights and international law. Please contact us if you wish to get involved.
Free Palestine Melbourne acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work, live and organise – the Wurundjeri, Boon Wurrung and Wathaurong people – and their Elders past, present and emerging, of the Kulin nation. Like in Palestine, sovereignty was never ceded and the struggle against settler-colonialism continues.

Israel/Palestine – a short introduction
This is a video which US-based Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) produced quite a few years back and we feel it is still helpful, especially for newcomers to this issue, thanks for your understanding that it is a primer and a basic introduction.
