Opposition obduracy to recognition of Palestine
Chris Sidoti’s commentary on the much-belated and pitifully weak statement of intention to recognise the State of Palestine by the Albanese Government is, in the existing circumstances, restrained almost to the point of a fault.
Whacko-the diddle-oh for a baby step forward for Albanese and Wong, even though it contains restraints and limitations that make it only one step above tokenism.
Have they not noticed that as the international community becomes more restive, the Netanyahu and IDF activity has expanded into an orgy of both highly targeted and also random bastardly killing? We are getting into the area of hundreds of new murders daily.
Leave action sufficiently late, Albo and Penny, and there will be no Palestinians left to help, just to mourn. It will not return one innocent life crushed, one child left to live with horrific injuries and the after effects of starvation, monumentally inadequate medical support, genocidal action, or a family.
But pathetically limited as the Albo/Wong response is, it is at least a tiny step towards human decency. Which is way more than we see in the proclamations of Cash, Ley, Patterson, Leeser, Sharma, the Israeli ambassador and the miasma of Zionist lobby groups.
