Australia is a nation that stands for inclusivity, respect, and multiculturalism. In light of this, we cannot allow events that foster division, hate, and antisemitism to be hosted in our city's buildings, particularly in areas with significant Jewish communities. The upcoming 'Globalise the Intifada’ event, sanctioned by the Sydney city mayor, threatens these core values, and we, the people of Sydney, must take a stand.

The event is set to take place in a council-owned building located in a heavily populated Jewish area. This decision raises serious concerns regarding the safety and well-being of the residents and the broader community. Allowing such an event undermines our commitment to a harmonious society and could perpetuate feelings of fear among our Jewish neighbours.

Australia is renowned for its diverse cultural tapestry. We pride ourselves on being a community that rejects hate and fosters understanding. This event stands in stark contrast to what our nation represents. Hosting it in a public space endorsed by our local government is unacceptable and contradicts Australia's values.

Studies and reports from reputable sources, including the Human Rights Commission, have shown a rise in antisemitic incidents in recent years. Hosting this event not only ignores these findings but could contribute to further division and alienation of the Jewish community. Such an oversight by our city officials cannot go unchallenged.

Instead of allowing this controversial gathering, let's pivot to hosting dialogues and events that promote cultural understanding and unity. Our local government should be facilitating forums for positive interaction, not hosting events that risk division and harm public sentiment.

We call upon the mayor of Sydney to withdraw support for the 'Globalise the Intifada’ event and prevent it from taking place in any council-owned venue, particularly in sensitive and diverse communities. By doing so, we uphold the values of our beloved city and protect all its residents from potential harm.

Please sign this petition to urge our city's leadership to take a stand against hate, intimidation, and antisemitism. Let's ensure Sydney remains a place of peace, respect, and unity for all its citizens.
