In 1948, my grandparents were expelled from Lydd, Historic Palestine, along with 80 per cent of its people by Israeli militias. My father grew up in a refugee camp, no home, no stability, only the dream of return. I grew up with their stories, and I grew up watching Israel’s ongoing crimes: the occupation of the West Bank, the siege of Gaza, the ethnic cleansing of villages across Palestine. I never needed a state to tell me I was Palestinian or grant me my self-determination. We did that ourselves by keeping our struggle alive.</p><p><source srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.092%2C$multiply_0.9788%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/452ca195b31b058b39add520d6879ebb79a99b2c,><source srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.092%2C$multiply_1.0159%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/452ca195b31b058b39add520d6879ebb79a99b2c,><img src="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.092%2C$multiply_0.7725%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/452ca195b31b058b39add520d6879ebb79a99b2c" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>Amal Naser, centre, with fellow Harbour Bridge protest organiser and Palestinian Action Group member Josh Lees, and NSW Green Jenny Leong.<cite>Credit: Wolter Peeters</cite></p><p>Witnessing these injustices gave me the determination and stamina to fight for my homeland. For years, I have witnessed institutions of power fail us, allow crime after crime to occur against the Palestinian people with full impunity. I knew it was us, the people, the masses, who could end this torture.</p><p>For nearly two years, I have organised weekly rallies with the Palestine Action Group to stop what Amnesty International, B’Tselem (the Israeli Information Centre for Human Rights) and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories have called by its name: genocide.</p><p>Last week, we led one of Australia’s largest ever demonstrations on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. We were driven there by the images from Gaza: children starved to skeletons, families crushed under rubble, messages from our families pleading that we fight, and a disgust that our government – by its inaction – is complicit in this slaughter. We also knew that a march this big and this symbolic could never be ignored. Our demands were clear: sanctions on Israel and an end to the two-way arms trade.</p><p>Loading</p><p>And yet, the government instead offers us “recognition” of a Palestinian state, as though that is what we have been demanding. Recognition, while I watch my homeland be exterminated, while Benjamin Netanyahu vows to occupy Gaza indefinitely, while Israel expands its settlements across the illegally occupied West Bank, is as hollow as the condemnations Western leaders have offered as Israel’s crimes escalate.</p><p>Recognition is not enough. You cannot “recognise” a state while you allow Australian-made components to help arm the regime destroying it. You cannot fight for the dead while helping make the weapons that kill them.</p><p>And I don’t mean that metaphorically. Lockheed Martin, one of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers, has made record profits on the back of the genocide and it has confirmed that every single F-35 jet contains Australian parts and components. (I note that I can no longer find this mention on its website.) UN experts have noted that exporting parts could be a violation of international law.</p></p> Recognising Palestine is a distraction.

First, they reflect a leadership unfazed by the prospect of recognition changing anything on the ground. Second, they expose a confidence, shaped by decades of experience, that Western recognition and diplomacy on Palestine rarely come with meaningful consequences.</p><p>While the reality for Palestinians has never been more bleak and suffocating, Israeli colonisation of what remains of Palestine has never been fiercer since Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in 1967. Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, even before October 2023, endured their deadliest year on record since that occupation began.</p><p>The settlement enterprise has gone into overdrive since the current government assumed office in December 2022. The E1 settlement plan, which would divide the West Bank into two sections and has long been regarded as the final blow to any hypothetical two-state solution, is now being enacted. All of this has been complemented since 2023 by Israel’s systematic, indiscriminate and methodical slaughter and erasure of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip – acts that international organisations have clearly described as genocide.</p><p>In a conversation with a seasoned Australian former senior diplomat in 2024 – at the height of Israel’s mass killing in Gaza – I was told that Australia would continue to do what “the world’s reputable countries” do. This referred to the club of Western states which, along with Australia, have turned Palestine, and their reaction to Palestinian slaughter, into a diplomatic performance, a public relations exercise by foreign ministers and spokespersons.</p><p><source srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.154%2C$multiply_0.6988%2C$ratio_1.776846%2C$width_1059%2C$x_135%2C$y_97/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/40e0a35aeaa032a77d44649be6f43c24029fbb99,><source srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.154%2C$multiply_0.7252%2C$ratio_1.776846%2C$width_1059%2C$x_135%2C$y_97/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/40e0a35aeaa032a77d44649be6f43c24029fbb99,><img src="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.154%2C$multiply_0.5855%2C$ratio_1.776846%2C$width_1059%2C$x_135%2C$y_97/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/40e0a35aeaa032a77d44649be6f43c24029fbb99" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>Palestinians pray over the bodies of slain journalists, including Al Jazeera correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohamed Qreiqeh, outside Gaza City’s Shifa hospital complex on Monday.<cite>Credit: AP</cite></p><p>That is precisely the danger for Australia.

Social media erupted with memes, and Indian media chimed in to say the country’s most iconic bites were under attack.</p><p>A love of the samosa is “ingrained in us”, cultural historian Rana Safvi said, adding it is served as both street food and comfort food. If the government had targeted only burgers or pizza, people wouldn’t have cared, she said. “Samosa is something that is too close to them.”</p><p>Some news outlets fuelled the backlash by likening the directive to health warnings on cigarettes.</p><p>The actual advisory was considerably milder than that. On June 21, India’s health ministry sent out a notice to all government ministries requesting that they put up posters in public spaces, such as office cafeterias and meeting rooms, showing the oil and sugar levels in certain foods. In the sample posters, the much-loved samosa was first on the high-fat list. (Jalebis were lower down on the high-sugar poster.)</p><p><source srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.135%2C$multiply_0.9788%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/7a56e5e0d97c08a11fe1c3d9ede1f04846a6e83f,><source srcset="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.135%2C$multiply_1.0159%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/7a56e5e0d97c08a11fe1c3d9ede1f04846a6e83f,><img src="https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_0.135%2C$multiply_0.7725%2C$ratio_1.5%2C$width_756%2C$x_0%2C$y_0/t_crop_custom/q_86%2Cf_auto/7a56e5e0d97c08a11fe1c3d9ede1f04846a6e83f" rel="noopener noreferrer"></p><p>A woman flips chapatti at her street stall in Jaipur.<cite>Credit: iStock</cite></p><p>The daily recommended intake of fats is 27 to 30 grams, and one samosa can contain between 17 and 28 grams, according to the posters (types of fat are not specified).</p><p>Last month, the government moved to clarify its intentions, saying it had not directed vendors to put warning labels on their products, and that it wasn’t selectively targeting Indian snacks.
