| Politicians need to take this message seriously. Voters are disillusioned with Australia's support for Netanyahu's vicious and criminal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to appropriate their land and resources for their greed. Voters will vote according to their values and their conscience. Dutton and his equivalent of Musk, ... Gina Rinehart, are Trump's and Israel's greatest supporters. Beware of her 'buying' the election for LNP as Musk did for Trump. The ALP has done superb work in many, many areas, but I refuse to have the blood of innocents on my hands. |  |
The most vehement rejections of Australia’s support for Israel come from the Greens (Bandt, Faruqi, Chandler-Mather), dissenting Labor MPs (Vamvakinou, Husic, Burke), and Independents (Payman, Thorpe, and to a lesser extent Daniel).
These politicians consistently frame Israel’s actions as genocidal or unjust, criticise Australia’s diplomatic and military ties, and advocate for policy shifts like recognising Palestine or imposing sanctions. Their stances contrast sharply with the major parties’ broader pro-Israel leanings, reflecting a mix of ideological conviction and constituency pressure, particularly from Arab, Muslim, and progressive communities.
