Clergy & Churches Call to Action
For the past two years we have produced a video showing Christians holding signs calling for an end to the injustice in the Holy Land. This year on the International Day of Peace, Sunday 21st September during the World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel (20-26 September) we are once again calling all clergy and churches to do this simple action. The action will be two-fold:
1/ print out these signs or make similar ones (please note, new signs have been added to those in the last Wrap); take a photo of church folk holding them; email them to Nell – contact@pien.org.au by Monday 29th September.
2/ once the video is produced, everyone who participated in holding signs will be asked to share the video with their Federal Member of Parliament, the Foreign Minister and the Prime Minister.
Watch last year’s video. Our aim is to double the number of participating churches.
Open Letter to the Prime Minister
This ad appeared in The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald on Wednesday 6 August 2025. PIEN was pleased to be a signatory, along with other Christian, Jewish and Muslim organisations.

‘Updating our position on Israel and Palestine’
The Iona Community (familiar to many church folk for their liturgical and musical offerings) have released this statement:
“We join with the UN Special Rapporteur, lawyers and academics, NGOs, and kindred spirits of all faiths and none who name as genocide the crimes the State of Israel is committing, and the accelerating crimes of ethnic cleansing and apartheid in the West Bank.”
‘our genocide’
Israeli human rights organization, B’Tselem, published this report citing Israel is committing genocide.
“The NGO stated that an examination of Israel’s policy in the Gaza Strip and its outcomes, together with statements by senior Israeli politicians and military commanders about the goals of the attack, led to the conclusion that Israel was taking coordinated, deliberate action to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip.”
‘Why Colleagues Are Starved and Shot by Israel’
Over 100 doctors who have worked in Gaza have written an open letter demanding global action.
“Our Palestinian colleagues – doctors, nurses, and first responders – are all rapidly losing weight due to forced starvation at the hands of the Israeli government. Many suffer from hunger, dizziness and fainting episodes while performing operations and triaging patients in emergency rooms”.
