Across the country, Australians have condemned the government's support for the slaughter in Fallujah. Full statements from groups and individuals are available on GLW's Fallujah web page at ...
"You tell us that Fallujah is a 'rat's nest'. We thought it was a city of 300,000 people with homes, families and lives. And in this city you murder civilians and then take over the hospitals to prevent independent information about the death toll from coming out! This is not liberation, it is a naked grab for oil! Greed drips from every gun barrel."
— Resistance, the socialist youth organisation Resistance.
"This war is wiping out a city, its cost will haunt humanity from now till eternity. The US attacks on fallujah will forever taint the Christian values of the US-led coalition, the US and its coalition partners have proved unworthy of possessing their massive arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. There is a solution to the quagmire of Iraq. It starts with the full withdrawal of foreign occupying troops."
— Keysar Trad, leader of the Australian Muslim community.
"The invading armies of the United States of America are bombing the Iraqi city of Fallujah into annihilation, and hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent Iraqis are being killed. The Greens once again reaffirm our enduring opposition to this barbaric and illegal war, a bloodbath in which the Australian government is complicit."
— Sylvia Hale, Greens parliamentarian in NSW, Australian Greens.
"We are told that Fallujah is overrun with terrorists and remnants of Saddam Hussein's regime. It is likely that the Us and Coalition forces are actually confronting organised and armed Iraqis who simply want foreign armies out of their country. On Armistice Day, we recall the brave and patriotic citizens, such as those in the French resistance, who died sacrificing their lives for their country. Why would it be any different for Iraqis?"
— Adelaide NOWAR, NOWAR SA (acrhived by Internet Archive).
"Survey after survey has shown that the majority of Iraqis want the Coalition forces to leave. Their non-violent protests and requests for the occupation army to leave have been ignored. They are now forced to defend themselves ... the occupying troops must leave. They are not liberating Iraqis — they are killing them, indiscriminately."
