Australia’s endorsement of this action is inconsistent with our obligations under the UN Charter and the principle that the rules-based order applies equally to all states.

The Prime Minister should not be supporting it.

Advocating for the human rights and democratic freedoms of the Iranian (or any) people does not mean supporting illegal acts that increase risk to the people, the country, the region and the world.

Often, we need only ask what the response would be if the roles were reversed - and Australia would certainly not support these actions against ally States.

These double standards undermine both international law and Australia’s credibility.

This action violates:

1.UN Charter Articles 2(4) and 51 — no armed attack occurred and no imminent threat existed, given a diplomatic breakthrough on IAEA verification was announced less than 24 hours earlier;

2.The Declaration on Friendly Relations (1970) and Definition of Aggression (1974) — bombardment with the stated objective of regime change constitutes aggression;

https://t.co/lfJgl2kPUw Humanitarian Law — with reports of strikes on a girls’ school killing at least 85 children and over 200 dead; and

4.The Nuremberg Principles — aggressive war is the supreme international crime.

Any response by Iran must also abide by humanitarian law and avoid targeting civilians.

In sport meanwhile, FIFA is bound to support international law, has continually rewarded Trump and is now supporting violations against a World Cup participant while the justifications are almost identical to those given by Russia for Ukraine, for which almost immediate sanctions were imposed.

Australians should be very clear that support for, or participation in violations of international law make Australia a target and increase risks to all Australians.

While politicians often state they ‘don’t want to bring violence here’, they directly support those committing it — through weapons parts, funding, intelligence, statements. This is both illogical, and dangerous.

Australia should support the fundamental rights of all people while remaining a consistent voice for equal application of international law.

This keeps both us, and the world, safer.

Prime Minister does not speak for the Australian people:

Polling shows majority of Australians do not support US wars of aggression.

“Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran & stands with the Iranian people’s struggle against oppression.” https://t.co/ushmeeyeRj

Shocking exceptionalism: Zionist Segal has ordered that the Australian curriculum will teach our children that even their thoughts are bad. This is utter madness.

"Far more Australians protested Herzog than went to his well-oiled, propaganda events."

But we had no interviews or mass coverage of those views

We had no coverage of any points of view from Palestinian people - it was just a constant echoing of the same old pro-Israel voices

The Australian Jewish Association is a racist hate group that should have been shut down by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) long ago

The only explanation for its continued existence is Zionist influence which amounts to corruption

It’s been verified — a total of 621 Australians serving in the Israel Defense Force (FOI, March 25)

▪️What steps are Australian security authorities taking to vet these soldiers on return from service in a foreign army credibly accused of war crimes?

▪️Is ASIO investigating each soldier on their return to Australia for possible involvement in Israeli war crimes?

▪️Is ASIO scrapping these soldiers’ social media and other sources for any evidence of involvement in Israeli war crimes?

▪️Has AFP collected any evidence of war crimes by these personnel?

From AFP website:
“War crimes are breaches of the 1949 Geneva Conventions and of Protocol 1 (1977 amendment protocol) and serious violations of the laws and customs of war committed in an international or non-international armed conflict.
Offences include:
•murder
•mutilation
•cruel treatment and torture
•attacks against civilian populations or non-combatants
•sexual or gender-based violence
•deliberate population displacement
•hostage-taking
•pillaging.”

AFP is requesting any information of war crimes committed by Australians to be forwarded to them - https://t.co/sNB8FVSqtQ

[Riff Raff @RichardAOB]

Two years and four months ago, Israel sent over 100,000 troops into Gaza, which has no army, navy, or air force. They're still there.

Four days ago, one Israeli president arrived in Australia.

Without firing a shot they now own most of our politicians, media, and police.

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

The High Court has ruled the proscription of Palestine Action was unlawful.

Today, human rights won.

Today, we all won.

The Court was clear: the Home Secretary can’t reach for the nuclear option simply because it makes policing easier.

The government must recognise the huge damage the proscription has caused to protest rights in the UK, respect today’s decision, and accept the proscription was wrong.

The genocidal Israeli president says Israel has prevented intl journalists from entering Gaza because they don't want them to get hurt.

Meanwhile they've targeted and murdered hundreds of Palestinian journalists, along with shooting kids in the head & starving people to death.

[Just Some Random 😷 @spottedpelican]

Thousands rallied for Palestinians as Isaac Herzog was welcomed here. Loud. Unapologetic.
This wasn’t fringe. It was Australians refusing to normalise war crimes.
Twice in one week the message was clear: commit atrocities overseas, don’t expect comfort here.
History is watching.

Poster seen in Sydney denouncing NSW Premier Chris Minns who ordered a brutal police attack on Palestine protesters this week, justified under the totalitarian mantra of "Social Cohesion".

The streets of Australia belong to us - Australians

The cities and parks and pathways of Australia belong to Australians

Our cities do not belong to Israel

Yet Australians are being herded like dogs in their own country to appease Israel

I’m old enough to remember when uniformed Neo Nazis held a rally outside Parliament House, shouted hateful Hitler Youth slogans and demeaned Jewish Australians that the NSW Police - checks notes - did nothing …
