Support Israel - Stop Terror - Give Peace a Chance

In Australia, activities in support of Israel have focussed on a “Blue Ribbon” campaign to raise awareness for the plight of the 3 kidnapped soldiers, call for their immediate release and show that we stand in solidarity with Israel.

Activities have been happening all around the country, with write ups below.

We urge you to show your support and solidarity by wearing a blue ribbon which are available from your local ZFA/SZC office.
