Israel doesn't care what Australia thinks about Palestine. This is taking up way too much space in newspaper headlines.
takes people's minds off their low wages
You're right, a bit of bread and circuses
That what Australian press has been doing since the 1890s when jingoism and a fake image as a rural pioneer country was started to distract city folks from the nascent industrial city based workers rights movements in Europe
Like the joke that was the voice campaign. They could have just done it instead of diverting attention from the of living and housing crisis
Bloody mental how up in arms the media are now that an aussie is dead. Lets just ignore the tons of dead Palestinians.
I'm bored with fluffy statements from Australian politicians and diplomats. You have no power, Israel doesn't care about you so shut the fuck up until you have something useful to say.
