Allowing the crisis in Gaza to deepen with apparent impunity undermines our messaging about the rule of law β our adversaries use this to accuse us of double standards.β
We opened ourselves up for this criticism.
The Bridge March was truly necessary.

Andrew Hastie lashes out against the hundreds of thousands of Aussies marching against Israelβs genocide on Sunday & demanded they fly over & protest βin the Middle Eastβ¦not here on our iconic Harbour Bridgeβ
This is how you remain unelectable. Racist & stupid at the same time.

Netanyahu regime ministers have been expressing genocidal intent since 7 Oct 2023 [and some before that].
But still most western 'leaders' are refusing to recognize it.
And even fewer are taking any real action to #StopIsrael.

@abcnewsbot.bsky.social why are the hostages released from #Gaza and their stories being amplified by MSM, yourself included here, remitting the obvious fact that if the hostages are malnourished, then what conditions are the Palestinians that held him in?
