Wong gets everything wrong. She made a fool of herself in the UN, and embarrassed Australia. But, nobody, particularly anyone in Israel, takes any notice of Wong the Wrong.

One commentator writes this morning that Wong unites Australia by “angering absolutely everyone”. She is a morally bankrupt political hack, who wouldn't know a principal if it bit her in the arse. Hopelessly inept. Chastises the Jews for defending themselves. Even the Lebanese Muslim Association hates her, according to its secretary,Gamel Kheir.

Former foreign minister Alexander Downer - still on the ball and in touch - says that Australia is not being taken seriously on its cease-fire nonsense. A pause in fighting such as suggested by Wong and Marles is “out of the question”, and “little short of pathetic”. Australia's support for a ceasefire is “driven by domestic politics” (left-Wing obsession with minorities at the expense of the majority). That's what “human rights” means these days. The democratic principle of ‘majority rule’ has been thrown out by non-democratic politicians.

“ …. nobody in the world is listening to Australia anymore”.

Australia has no soft power, and its statements have no meaning.

I don't think Penny Wong needs to respond, she made herself clear David.

"Because a two-state solution is the only hope of breaking the endless cycle of violence – the only hope to see a secure and prosperous future for both peoples."

She didn't say 'might be the only hope',
Shes said 'IS the only hope'
