People around the globe aren't laughing.

Time.com tells us that former Israeli Prime Minister
Yair Lapid said, " I hate comparing, in any way,
anything to the Holocaust. Nothing today could be the
Holocaust, because there is such a thing as the State
of Israel, which is quite capable of defending itself."

Yet we're told that some people engage in "Holocausting."
Using historical trauma to advance their agendas.
That Israel was at risk of being portrayed as
"Yad Vashem with an air-force."

We're told that the Holocaust memory should not justify
militarism at any scale. That Holocaust comparisons are
ideological weapons of mass distraction and are described as
thought terminating cliches.

It's made clear that by using them people not only disgrace
the victims and their unique experience and heroism but they
also chart a very poor course for the future.

"People around the globe aren't laughing."

Well they are laughing at people who are so historically ignorant as to think the Gaza war is a genocide.

Penny Wong has called for a ceasefire that involves Hamas releasing all hostages and permanently laying down their arms. She also reaffirmed the Australian Government view that Hamas is a terrorist organisation.

Quite the dilemma for the Hamas cheer-squad who also routinely subsume their views to those of the ALP.

Australia's Foreign Minister Penny Wong recently
completed her tour of the Middle East. Senator Wong spoke
to both Israeli and Palestinian Foreign Ministers about
the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza.

She stressed the fact that Australia has been consistent in
Israel's right to self defence but she also
explained that Australia has also been consistent on
HOW Israel conducts itself in the pursuit of that - which
matters.

Ahe said that Australia supports a 2 state solution in
which Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace,
dignity and security.

The war has been condemned. A large number of Gazans are
facing catastrophic humanitarian disaster of starvation,
dehydration and homelessness.

She made it clear that Australia wants to see civilians
protected and humanitarian access to be provided.

Most people around the globe agree.

mhaze,

"Quite the dilemma for the Hamas cheer-squad who also routinely subsume their views to those of the ALP."

I assume you are disparagingly referring to me as part of the "Hamas cheer-squad" so be it. The ALP is an Australian apologist party for American foreign policy, I would expect Wong to kowtow to America as required, end of story. With 90% of the world condemning Zionist GENOCIDE in Gaze, as a Zionist cheer-squad member yourself with far right extreme views, I'm sure the murder of thousands of innocent women and children sits well with your world view of things. Its all a bit of tut tut is it not. Just as you earlier was calming the huge number of women and children murdered by the Zionist was a fallacy, now you have a problem with the word GENOCIDE!
