That is simpleton level of simplicity.
Penny Wong went to the region pushing the 2SS. That is about 15 million yards.
Words are worth nothing compared to action. With a stroke of a pen she could recognise the Palestinian state. With little more effort than that, the Government could cease selling or buying weapons from Israel. Not doing so is a deliberate choice to signal support for Israel.
If you're going to continue defending genocide, I'm done here. I won't put up with that shit.
It isn't "action" to recognize a borderless state. Or are we talking about recognizing a government? A dictatorial, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, racist government in the form of Hamas.
Supplying weapons at this point I believe to be unethical because the invasion of Rafah is futile except as an excuse for ethnic cleansing. The same kind of cleansing that Hamas have been hell-bent on for decades. I am not in favor of either.
Israel isn't committing "genocide" though. That is not what the UN called it and for good reason.
lsrael could kill every Palestinian if they wanted to but choose not to.
Hamas wants to kill every Jewish Israeli but cannot.
