In response to Israel’s NGO rules are shutting out humanitarian aid from Gaza

The Australian government chooses complicity

Helen McCue gives a long list of aid agencies barred from Israel. But the relevant part of her article is the last paragraph. McCue says “… it seems that our government continues to enable Israel’s impunity with its silence regarding Israels banning of INGOs” and further refers to “lack of moral clarity”. I’d drop the “it seems that” and refer simply to both Wong and Albanese’s amorality when it comes to Palestine.

Words will never stop Israel, not formal declarations nor fake pious weasel words nor Trump’s “peace plan to build a Palestinian Riviera.“Just look at the ceasefire that isn’t.

Unless nations take action - BDS now! - Israel will not stop killing until the last Palestinian is dead. There is blood on our government’s hands already and right now it looks like there will be more.
