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.
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.

I'm not a Labour supporter. But I do think we need a more moderate stance on the middle eastern conflict. It's not black and white, that's for sure! Having lived in the Middle East for quite a few years, I realise that my views differ a little with your tone, James.
I understand the intense interest that evangelical Christians have in Israel, and that their particular interpretation of certain Biblical prophecies favours Israel, denigrating the Palestinians.
If you could only see firsthand the real situation...the Palestinians have indeed been persecuted! If the perpetrator were not Israel there would have been an international outrage with sanctions and more, against Israel. As it is, the suffering continues.
Of course everyone wants peace! But the Israelis generally want peace by crushing the Palestinians. The arrogance is unbelievable!
Nobody claims one side is perfect. Of course Hamas must accept its shame for atrocities committed. But if you have the time and inclination you might watch this video, compiled by a brilliant young Jewish woman (yes, Jewish!) who came from the USA to live in the Middle East to document what was happening. It is well worth watching:
