Actions, not words: Unpublished letter to The Age
The Editor
Hamas kills innocent Israelis to promote terror. It is listed by the Australian Government as a terrorist organisation. It is an offence ‘to provide support to a terrorist organisation.’
The Israeli Defence Force kills innocent Palestinians to promote terror (19/7 Wong deplores Palestinian killings). It should be listed as a terrorist organisation. All that is required is that the Attorney General is satisfied that it ‘is preparing, planning, assisting or fostering the doing of a terrorist act.’
The Attorney General would then need to consider advising the laying of charges against companies in Australia which continue ‘to provide support to a terrorist organisation’ in the form of parts to the F-35 fighter bombers which drop bombs on Gaza, contributing to the mass humanitarian disaster, doing just what Wong deplores. He would also have to consider laying charges against his own Government for its continued support.
Words are fine. Where is the action?
