Hamas is still holding hostages, and yet the Albanese Government has caved in to one of the terrorists’ key demands.

Our Labor Government voted at the United Nations last week in favour of Palestinian sovereignty over the so-called occupied territories.

Who says hostage-taking doesn’t pay?

And that’s the first lesson here, isn’t it?

Slaughter Jews. Take Israelis hostages. And the Australian Government will give you what you want.

Penny Wong wouldn’t say boo to an Islamist.

She has not only betrayed our allies in the Middle East. She has betrayed Australians who cannot now be safe when Islamists know how weak our leaders are.

Hamas, cheered on by the majority of Palestinians, committed the most vile acts. And our Government now rewards them.

Oh, but it’s about creating conditions for peace.

Sure. Sure.

Since when do you create conditions for peace by acquiescing to terrorists?

Our feckless Government, while insisting they want peace, are creating the conditions for more violence.

Broken Promise

Anthony Albanese promised before the election that if he was elected Prime Minister, our bipartisan Middle East position would not change.

Well, he was elected PM. And he has reversed our Middle East position five times in two years.

Foreign Minister Penny Wong has given no reason for our decision to suddenly support Palestinian statehood.

No reason, I mean, other than that the decision was in line with the “majority of member states”.

“Australia voted in favour of this resolution alongside more than 155 members of the international community, including the UK, New Zealand, France, Germany and Japan.”

And?

Wrong is still wrong, even if everyone does it.

That this insecure Labor Government is afraid to be in a minority when it comes to votes against Israel is telling, and it is shameful.

How weak can a government be?

Well, let me tell you…

This Government is so gutless that they told the rest of the world that our position on Palestinian statehood had changed before they dared to tell us.

Pathetic.

When there is peace between Israel and her enemies, then and only then can a two-state solution be negotiated.

But to believe the opposite — that a two state solution is the way in which to bring about peace — is naive in the extreme.

Political Ploy

But wait a second. This government is not naive. This government is calculating.

They have calculated that abandoning support for Israel will boost their Muslim vote in crucial seats at next year’s election.

Penny Wong damns Israel to protect Jason Clare and Tony Burke.

It’s the kind of transactional politics that is beneath contempt.

Labor has double-crossed the only democratic state (and our ally) in the Middle East. And Labor has destroyed social cohesion here at home.

Palestinian protestors have rejected pleas from Victorian police not to disrupt the annual Myer Christmas window display.

The display opening has been cancelled for only the second time in 70 years after pro-Palestinians insisted Christmas was cancelled.

I wonder who taught these thugs that their anti-semitic thuggery would be rewarded?

Hmmmm.

Anthony Albanese will have a legacy like no other. And the sooner, the better that legacy starts.
