Analysis of the weapons used by Hamas indicates that they are overwhelmingly from Russia and China.

The Australian Government gives $32,000,000 of our money to Hamas every year. According to ordinary Palestinians, they are not getting the benefit of it; they are getting nothing from Hamas. But, again, most of them voted for Hamas 17 years ago, and no Australian money whatsoever should be going to Gaza.

Village idiot,

There is nothing in your YouTube that refutes the claim that American made rockets are being used by Hamas to attack Israeli civilians. The interview between a sycophantic American journo on American CNN and a Israeli warmonger carries not weight, as far as I am concerned.

As an American apologist you will tell all sorts of lies to cover up these atrocities being committed.

A clarification.

Australia does not support Hamas.
A terrorist organization. It has strongly condemned
the recent attack on Israel.

According to the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs
and Trade, Australia is providing humanitarian support
through multi lateral humanitarian partners including the
United Nations Relief and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees
in the Near East (UNRWA), the United Nations Children's Fund
( UNICEF), and the International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC).

These partners are key to delivering essential services to
vulnerable Palestinians.

The Australian government has pledged an estimated $32.2 million
to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in 2023-24 through it's
multi-lateral humanitarian partners.
Australia's development cooperation and humanitarian assistance
is a practical demonstration of Australia's genuine commitment
to peace in the region.

Australia remains committed to a 2 state solution in which
Israel and a future Palestinian state coexist in peace and
security within internationally recognized borders.

Post-truth mhaze,

Eyal Waldman hasn't given up on peace.

"The death of his daughter and Shay and the scope of the attacks and counter-attacks dominating headlines in recent days have not changed Waldman’s hope for peace in the future, he said, but not the near future. He believes this time, the violence “took us back several years, if not decades.”

“We need time to build the trust, if at all, between the two nations and start working together to be able to talk about peace,” he said."

Both his daughter and her boyfriend met in the army. They are trained fighters.

At the same time Herzog is claiming there is no innocent civilians in Gaza.

"Israel’s president Isaac Herzog claimed in a press conference that there are no innocent civilians in Gaza, while thousands of Palestinians struggled to flee northern Gaza after Israel’s military told some 1.1 million of them to evacuate south ahead of an anticipated military operation.

“It is an entire nation out there that is responsible,” Herzog said at a press conference on Friday, October 13, that HuffPost reported on.

“It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not being aware, not involved. It’s absolutely not true. They could have risen up. They could have fought against that evil regime which took over Gaza in a coup d’etat.”"

Disturbing distinctions.

Hi Foxy,
"Australia's development cooperation and humanitarian assistance
is a practical demonstration of Australia's genuine commitment
to peace in the region."

I don't know about that Foxy, it seems more like paying for the Israeli's occupation / prison costs.

The Palestinians have a slightly better life in their concentration camp, and Israel gets to steal more land.
- And nothing will ever change.

I'd rather the government spent 32 million promoting BDS or Israeli War crimes efforts, or even better spend 32 million on the needy in this country.
