Albanese and Gaza: Decency or dog act?

June 5, 2025

Peter Rodgers asked: whether, by repeating the statement that “[Israel] has used starvation as a weapon of war which Anthony Albanese, finally, has condemned as outrageous and completely unacceptable,” will there be any more substance to this fulmination?

As of 4 June, we have seen added to this generalised charge of inhumanity by the Zionist forces in Israel, the shooting of Palestinians at the GHD “distribution post” and a declaration by the IDF that Pa;estinians are not to use “roads” — such as they may be — to access the GHD distribution post.

So, Albo, you have direct evidence that the so-called “Israeli” humanitarian aid is, as in the words of one of the survivors of the GHD site shootings, “a death trap” for those who can traverse the mountains of rubble to which Gaza has been reduced by routes not being roads.

To be blunt: when will you get off your backside and bloody well actually do something to help those being macerated, starved, shot, burned, dying for lack of medical aid, and all the other horrors we can all see?

We are waiting, and we are impatient. Be warned.
