In response to The Australian Parliament fails to uphold international law preventing genocide

How did we get so deeply in to the Zionist thrall?

Margaret Reynolds concise article clearly outlines our politician’s inability to rise above the “tribalism of party politics”, but they also seem frozen in the headlights of a force more powerful than human decency. We need to know why.

Social media responses to Albanese, Wong and Marles’ intransigence over the Palestinian genocide have been vitriolic (when Meta allows). The comments have been scathing about Labor’s callous indifference to the animalistic excesses of Netanyahu and his military force.

We see a Labor Government and the likes of Dreyfus and Wong struck dumb when witnessing the obvious lies, obfuscation and determined genocide of the Israel state.

We need to know what is the influence on these elected representatives that is so obviously stronger than standing up for what is right and stopping a human tragedy?

America has AIRPAC openly funding its law-makers to support the Israeli point of view and scream anti-semitism if questioned.

What is Australia’s equivalent?

Is there an influence on Australian politicians that we don’t know about?
