When Labor fails Palestine it fails its own members, and ultimately it fails itself.
So, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has announced he is seeking an arrest warrant for five people given there is substantial evidence to say they have committed war crimes. Two from the Israeli regime and three from Hamas. One of those Israeli’s is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A few days ago the International Court Of Justice made a ruling demanding that Israel cease its attack of Rafah in Gaza. This is a binding ruling.
Netanyahu responded by escalating Israel’s illegal attack, bombing tents full of civilians in a ‘safe zone’. Video’s of the bomb site show a baby with it’s head blown off, children’s bodies strewn through the burnt carnage, all to the soundtrack of the agonised screams of children that can’t be reached burning alive.
World leaders reacted within minutes, some took a few hours, most were damning of Israel, most, but not the usual suspects,
In Australia however, Penny Wong and Albo were suddenly struck mute, or at the very least suffering a severe case of laryngitis.
Yeah, there was a natural disaster in Papua New Guinea that needed attention, but it should not have taken any attention from the man made and ongoing disaster that Australia appears to be sponsoring in Gaza.
Australians were scratching their heads all day on Sunday wondering where our leader’s minds were as no words or statements had been forthcoming.
Then suddenly, it became clear, another event of far greater importance and concern had occurred that required both the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister to comment on, followed yesterday by a site inspection by our Elbit sponsored Deputy PM and Defence Minister Richard Marles. The event was so graphic some news sites blurred the images, so shocking it was that at the site sheets were draped over the act to spare the public the anguish of what they may have seen.
At this point I should point out that there is a GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING for the image below, if you are upset by the sight of paint, bad grammar, and either antisemitic content or false-flag waving, please don’t scroll any further.
That’s right, there was some graffiti on a wall at a Melbourne Jewish School. No wonder the Defence Minister was quick to visit the scene.
The perpetrator will likely escape justice, because the footage of some bloke on a pushbike was so grainy it looked like it had been taken from the space station by someone using an iPhone 3.
The School where this occurred is Mount Scopus College, it is one of the Jewish Institutions in that part of Melbourne where taxpayers unwittingly spend millions upon millions every year for the most up to date security your money can buy.
The graffiti was done on Friday night, but the disgust and outrage was postponed a couple of days for the more convenient time of when a distraction from the ICJ ruling was needed.
If the best all of the publics investment in hi-tech security for these private institutions can produce is an image this poor, and the best that security firms taxpayers can be overcharged for can come up with is absolutely zip, then perhaps it’s about time we had a parliamentary inquiry, or Royal Commission into how our money is being squandered by what many describe as a taxpayer funded circular economy.
I note that since I started writing this Penny Wong has come out of her induced coma and put out a statement that will have Netanyahu’s genocidal regime trembling in fear.
The statement starts off immediately stating it’s the “last 24 hours”, despite the bombing that has occurred since the ICJ ruling had been ongoing for 48 hours.
Then she mentions the humanitarian ceasefire that the angels riding unicorns will bring about without the Australian government having to do didley squat. Certainly, we won’t have to place sanctions, stop military supplies, expel consulate staff, or even utter a harsh word.
Then it’s onto the events so “horrific and unacceptable” that we didn’t worry about for a couple of days, and now we’re just going to accept, as we have done all along.
Yes, as Wong’s statement claims, “Australia has been very clear”. Please don’t attack Rafah or it will inconvenience us politically, particularly some of our Zionist faction members and genocide apologists on the Right.
But Australia will be equally clear, maybe even more so, your lobby donations are more than welcome, your consulate staff will always have the red carpet rolled out, we’ll keep shipping you the bits that make your bombs fall on children, our military will keep protecting your trade in the Red Sea, we’ll keep giving your arms manufacturers Billion dollar contracts (even if they are implicated in the murder of Australian humanitarian workers), we’ll talk a big talk of a Palestinian state that we’ll never act on, and did we mention that the lobbyists donations are always welcome? We have an election next year after all…
As for the closing “human shields” Zionist propaganda, I look forward to Wong showing us the Hamas infrastructure and personnel that were hiding under tents filled with sheltering children in the “Safe Zone”.
It would perhaps be handy if the current government could provide a list in order, of all the populations they see as disposable.
Those the new world order leaves out.
We elected a government that we thought was strong on human rights. We were wrong.
The River that Labor is watching flow to the Sea is a constant stream of its own members departing.
The “Labor Values” we’re all reassured about aren’t as shiny as they once seemed, even once you wipe the Palestinian blood off them.
When election time comes around and they need volunteers, we’ll remember what they really stand for.
And what they bow down to.
