By Their Friends You Shall Know Them
Labor continue their love affair with Hamas.
You can always count on Labor to support the wrong side.
First, they bring ISIS brides back into the country. And now — in a move sure to please terrorist group Hamas — they are backing the Palestinians against Israel.
Labor has hardened its position on Israel, declaring the West Bank and Gaza as “Occupied Palestinian territories”.
Well, of course.
Why support the only truly democratic nation in the Middle East when you can side with the rocket throwers in Hamas who want Israel wiped off the map?
And Labor have form when it comes to throwing our Israeli allies under the Hamas bus.
Sobering Trend
Last year, the Albanese Government announced Australia would not recognise West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
In response, the terrorists at Hamas released a statement welcoming the Labor Government’s decision.
Expect another missive from Hamas praising Labor’s latest brain fart shortly.
But what makes the Albanese decision particularly galling is the fact that it will not make a scrap of difference internationally; and it is not even being done in response to any domestic demand.
According to The Australian, Albanese and his foreign minister Penny Wong seem to be shaping our foreign policy as a reward for leftists in Labor who agree not to make a scene at the Party’s national conference about our purchase of nuclear subs.
Labor are unconcerned that multiple peace bids by Israel have been rejected by Palestinian leaders.
Labor are unconcerned that Palestinians build monuments to terrorists who kill Israeli civilians.
Labor are unconcerned that the disputed territories were won by Israel in a defensive war against Arab aggressors.
Labor are unconcerned that Palestinian leaders remain committed to the destruction of Israel. That Hamas’ Charter specifically calls for this.
None of that is a concern.
Rather, it’s a case of ‘Leave my AUKUS alone and you can have Palestine.”
That’s how the Labor Party do foreign policy these days.
I hope our Israeli friends realise our Labor Government lied their way into power ($275 power bill reduction, anybody?), winning little more than 30 per cent of the vote.
Their position on Israel is not representative of the Australian public.

The first person to take issue with Donald Trump’s insistence that there are only two genders was an Episcopalian priest. Of course. Bishop Marianne Budde used her Washington pulpit, tilted to the left, to berate the President for — of all things — agreeing with Moses.
Finding Common Ground: A Call for Balanced Approaches to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
In the midst of ongoing tensions in the Middle East, it’s important to approach the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with an understanding that seeks to find common ground and promote lasting peace. Recent discussions have raised questions about Labor’s stance on the matter, particularly regarding the West Bank, Gaza, and their support for Palestine. However, it’s essential to address this issue in a balanced manner, taking into consideration historical context, diverse perspectives, and the need for peaceful resolutions.
Understanding “Occupied Palestinian Territories”
The term “Occupied Palestinian territories” has gained international recognition, including from organizations like the United Nations. It’s vital to note that using this terminology does not inherently support terrorism. Instead, it recognizes the complex reality faced by both Israelis and Palestinians. By acknowledging the difficulties of the situation, we can better work toward a just resolution that respects the rights and security of both parties.
Peace Efforts and Regional Stability
Over the years, both Israel and Palestine have made numerous peace bids. These efforts underscore the importance of finding a peaceful solution that benefits all parties involved. Advocating for a negotiated settlement isn’t a sign of weakness but rather a demonstration of maturity and responsibility. Regional stability hinges on a fair resolution that addresses the needs and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians.
Diverse Perspectives within Australia
The assertion that Labor’s position on Israel is not representative of the Australian public overlooks the diverse range of opinions present in the country. Foreign policy decisions are complex and must take into account various factors. Australia is a nation that values democratic discourse, and it’s crucial to respect differing viewpoints on matters as sensitive as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Christian Perspective
It’s worth acknowledging that not all Christians support Zionism, and among the Palestinian community, there are Christians who play a significant role in advocating for peace and coexistence. Their unique perspective underscores the importance of finding a solution that respects the rights of all inhabitants in the region, regardless of their religious background.
Avoiding Extremes and Fostering Understanding
Supporting Palestinian rights does not equate to supporting terrorism, just as supporting Israel doesn’t mean endorsing every aspect of its policies. A balanced approach recognizes the complexities of the conflict, respecting the rights and dignity of both Israelis and Palestinians. By fostering a climate of understanding, we can move closer to a comprehensive and lasting solution.
In conclusion, finding common ground in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict requires a balanced approach that respects the rights and security of both parties. It’s essential to consider historical context, regional stability, diverse perspectives within Australia, and the unique voice of Palestinian Christians. By avoiding extremes and working toward a peaceful resolution, we can contribute to a brighter future for the entire region.
