The UN isn’t here to clean up the mess you created. Take some responsibility. And while you’re at it, stop doing Israel’s bidding.

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: We’re asking the UN to call on Iran to stop blowing up ships, remove the mines, and allow humanitarian relief.

If the international community can’t rally behind this and solve something so straightforward, then I don’t know what the utility of the UN system is.

@MichaelPascoe01 @amandadunn10 @fbongiornoanu @ConversationEDU Is it just me or ever since the voice was voted down, Albo and this government are frozen by fear when it comes to making brave statements and bold decisions.

@DavidPocock This is the most disappointing Labour government in history. Not visionary, not brave, not fighting for the people, enabling a rigged system, completely bought out, influenced, spineless, cowardly, a party not serving the people but instead serving donors and lobby groups.

@bensmithrugby Disappointing the grandstands don’t go all the way around. The big gap at the end looks strange

When is this government going to have the courage to call out Israel? It’s not antisemitic to call out a government and their policies. Stop dancing around the issue. Such a disappointing Labor government

The conflict in Lebanon is contributing to a humanitarian crisis. As UN Security Council members meet today to discuss the protection of UN and Humanitarian Personnel, Australia and partners call for international humanitarian law to be respected, and aid workers to be protected.

@MichaelPascoe01 Will @AlboMP look back at this period with shame in years to come? Not calling out the US & Israel for this illegal war. Ignoring genocide in Gaza & now Lebanon.Will history judge him as a weak coward who did not have courage or conviction to stand up for what is right

[original_gruzza @gruzza]

@MichaelPascoe01 @AlboMP Albo is a chicken shit who lost his spine years ago. Easy to call out injustice from the cheap seats, takes courage to do it as a world leader and stare down the influence of corporate media and powerful lobbyists. Some people are weak & just aren’t up to the task.

[original_gruzza @gruzza]

@AlboMP where’s Australia’s response to this. Stop be a coward of a PM

[Winston Peters @NewZealandMFA]

New Zealand is joining this joint statement expressing concern about a recently passed bill that expands the use of the death penalty in Israel.

New Zealand has for decades been opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances.

@ClareONeilMP You are part of a party I don’t recognise anymore. Your party serves donors, lobby groups., the rich and powerful. You lack big visions and the courage to make brave decisions. You only care about setting yourself up for your post politics career. I will not vote for you anymore

@Rugby_Scoop Kick passes were introduced to rugby when rugby coaches started employing Aussie Rules coaches to help improve their teams kicking games. Most famous was Mick Byrne hired by the All Blacks which is where Barret learned it

@SenatorWong It’s sad what this Labour government has come to represent. Not the party I voted for. Keep turning a blind eye to apartheid, genoaide, illegal wars. Keep pandering to big mining, keep sending our resources off shore, continue to be secretive and non transparent. Disgraceful.

Is this a parody account?

[Magachurch Pastor🙏🇺🇸 @magachrchpastr]

I wish everyone would stop blaming Pres Trump and Gen. Pete Hegseth for the insanely high fuel prices that will ruin the world economy. There was simply no way to predict the Iranian regime would block the Strait of Hormuz after we started bombing them🙏🇺🇸

[original_gruzza @gruzza]

@AlboMP Each day you are making it harder for this long time Labour voter to support you. Supporting an illegal war, ignoring genocide, no solution to affordable housing, not standing up against big mining, leaving working class to do the heavy lifting. I won’t vote for you anymore

[Craig Foster @Craig_Foster]

In 1971, the Queensland Government imposed a state of emergency for mass protests of the apartheid South Africa touring rugby team.

Despite international condemnation and community opposition, the Australian government not only allowed the apartheid team to tour, but criminalised those who opposed it.

At that time, Nelson Mandela had been imprisoned for 9 years.

During his later 1990 visit to Australia, Mandela referred to the ‘slaughter of defenceless and innocent Arabs in the occupied territories.’

Just 3 years later in 1993, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

And in 2013, 42 years after anti-apartheid protests were shutdown in Qld in direct support of his rights, the Australian Parliament acknowledged his legacy, the Foreign Minister referring to him as one of the “towering figures of the 20th century” alongside Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., with “remarkable inner strength and resilience”

Like the anti-genocide protesters of today, those Australians in 1971 were attacked, characterised as violent, told that protest would achieve nothing, was futile.

But they were right.

They played a significant role in bringing grave injustices to the attention of the Australian people, and forced necessary political change, removing Australia from complicity in apartheid, a crime against humanity that can never be supported in any way.

Today, Australia is immensely proud of having taken action, including through later sporting boycotts.

Principled leadership is far too rare when human rights, state conduct and political calculations are at odds, and citizens need to be prepared to draw boundaries of national conduct that cannot be crossed.

We should need no reminder that genocide and apartheid, are such boundaries.

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

Abbott, Joyce and the usual herd of RWFWs are all for free speech and the liberty of the individual… until someone says something they disagree with. Which is why they are now howling for the head of Grace Tame.

@SkyNewsAust Sky News Australia should be referred to the ICC over its conduct supporting genocide and foreign pedo networks

[original_gruzza @gruzza]

@MikeCarlton01 Why is our PM such a coward? Why does he bow to the wishes of Israel government? Where has the spine gone in our politicians? Australia used to stand up to injustices without fear of favour
