Our PM is beyond contempt
Anthony Albanese has been thoroughly bought by the pro-Israel lobby and aligns us with genocide by sticking with our “good ally” the US. The murders would have stopped long ago, but for the steady supply of US bombs. As for “the hostages” … when has Albanese ever mentioned the thousands of Palestinians held without charge for years in Israeli prisons? Why hasn’t Albanese noticed that, of released hostages, Israelis are far better cared for?
What of Hamas, once promoted by Netanyahu? Hasn’t Albanese looked at the alternative media that we are looking at? What possible threat could come from the rubble of Gaza?
And the two-state solution, the one Netanyahu, Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, etc have no intention of allowing to happen. Matthew Knott in The Age shows either ignorance or that he’s also bought, saying “Palestinian leaders Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas walked away from serious offers of statehood,…”. Arafat seriously agreed to a two-state solution. There was nothing serious in what he walked away from, the equivalent of the holes in Swiss cheese.
Without recognising Palestine, there is no state for Israel to bargain with. Every day Albanese waits for the impossible, the more blood he drowns in.
