UPDATE #2 Saturday, 31 May 2025
Thank you to all of you who have signed the STOP THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA – Children's book creators/supporters call for immediate action PETITION.

We have passed 250 signatures but need many more before we can shut down the Petition and pass on our pleas to the PM, Anthony Albanese and the Foreign Minister, Senator Penny Wong.

The Prime Minister is facing much more pressure to do something concrete against the genocide, actions that are beyond just being 'outraged'.

This is the perfect time to let Mr Albanese and all our politicians know a huge number of Australians do care enough to want to stop the genocide. To see peace in the Middle East. To want a just and peaceful solution to the genocide in Gaze, that does not involve the ethnic-cleansing of the Palestinian people and annexation of all of Palestine, as the Zionist-led Israeli government plans to do.

Please share the PETITION AGAIN today. Help the book writing and arts community reach beyond our own sphere of influence. Thank you, on behalf of the children of Gaza and their families.

Yours faithfully,

Sheryl Gwyther (author and artist).
Spokesperson for the KidLit for Palestinian Human Rights group, Brisbane.
