In response to Time for a 'just peace' for all peoples in Palestine

No 'just peace' without due diligence

Peter Slezak demands sincere attention and a fair, just and strong response from our flaccid government leaders, Albanese and Wong.

It has taken — what? — little more than 48 hours from the “signing” of the “Trump Peace Plan” (TPP) for the Netanyahu Government and the IDF to resume killing Palestinians with the same gratuitously offensive excuses that have been such a predominant feature of their entire genocidal campaign.

We wait for Albanese and Wong to change from calling on Hamas to abide by the terms of the TPP and apply the same pressure on the Zionists’ genocidal thuggery.

Also, we wait for these two to denounce the Israeli restriction on the passage of aid to the Gaza Strip as detailed in the agreement.

Anything less than demanding decency for the Palestinians is morally corrupt behaviour by our government. We know that will happen with the LNP, but for Labor to walk the same path is unconscionably foul.

Albanese, your problem is obvious (google it): Stop the BS and damn well do the decent thing.
