The Albanese Government’s decision to recognise Palestinian statehood is impulsive, irrational and ill-timed.

Hamas’ barbarism on 7 October 2023 single-handedly set back the goal of a two-state solution.

The leaders of Hamas said they would repeat similar attacks until Israel is exterminated.

Until Hamas is defeated, a two-state solution isn’t even conceivable and there can be no peaceful future for the people of Gaza.

Let’s also not forget historical facts:

In 2005, Israel withdrew entirely from the Gaza strip, handing it over to the Palestinian Authority and had to relocate Jewish families in the process.

In 2006, Hamas was elected to power.

In 2007, Hamas seized control of Gaza.

For the next 16 years, Hamas squandered the opportunity to support the Palestinian people and work towards a two-state solution. Gaza could have become a Singapore of the Middle East.

Instead, Hamas used billions in international aid to amass weapons and build a vast underground tunnel network to wage terrorism against Israel and the Jewish people.

If the Albanese Government truly believes in a better life for Palestinians and a two-state solution, it would lend its full support to Israel’s military response to rid the world of a death cult.

But in moving to prematurely recognise Palestinian statehood, the Albanese Government has endorsed Hamas’ use of terrorism to achieve political ends.

And all this while Hamas continues to hold hostages.

This Labor Government has lost its moral compass. And its disgraceful decision today shows, yet again, how it is willing to use foreign policy to grandstand to a domestic political audience.

Australia should stand firmly with Israel, tighten sanctions on Iran and its proxies, and make it clear that Palestinian statehood will only be considered when Hamas is dismantled and the Palestinian leadership recognises Israel’s right to exist.

@MedIntelCRE Why? Are there too many agendas? I've heard that some are reacting to the Woke agenda, so I'd be happy to hear so I can evaluate what I'm hearing here

@MarcTennant Thanks Mark. A very inspiring moment marking the foundation of UWA at the Crawley site.

@MarcTennant @uwanews Congratulations Marc!

[A/Prof Burke Hugo @DrBHugo]

@MarcTennant I believe this is due to Australians not knowing what it is to be Australian anymore. Our social fabric has been torn open, and as a Nation we have lost our sense of common purpose.

@MarcTennant The concept of the "emotional Labour" required to perform a job is interesting. I believe most of my fatigue comes from managing this aspect of my work.

@MarcTennant The gates open and the horse has bolted. We have all been seduced by apps on our phone that farm our personal data. Once out there, you can't get it back. Imagine the outrage if the Aust Govt were collecting information from us this way

@MarcTennant I often miss those days, before mobile phones and the internet took over our lives.

@MarcTennant Thanks Marc for sharing your pearls of wisdom.

@Peter_Fitz Some form of regulated use may be the answer. Decriminalisation should reduce the black market and the real crime that is financed by marijuana sales
