While the anti-U.S ranters babble about what Assange did to America, they need reminding that he, who could be described as a traitor, leaked information about Australian military operations, defence strategies, and communications with US officials.

See sec. 80.1 of the Criminal Code Act on assisting those engaged in armed hostilities against the ADF.

Just because the U.S looks to be satisfied (two Leftist governments doing a deal) does not wipe out Assange's offences against his own country.

The pathetic and gutless manoeuvring by Australian and American governments has set a dangerous precedent for some other crackpot to hand out information to the enemy.

Another nasty piece of work, Labor senator Fatima Payman, looks like getting away with using her Australia taxpayer election, payment and responsibility to Australia to make demands for foreigners - Palestinians. Nothing whatsoever to do with her duty to Australia. It seems that being a Muslim in Australia gives you special privileges - or at least allows you to step out of line as other ALP politicians are not permitted to.

This Senator barracks for a Palestinian state (none of her business as an Australian politician) and doesn't believe that Israel has a right to exist. She won't even condemn the Hamas and Gazan barbarity that started the current conflict.

And the idiot, Richard Marles, says that this type of person makes “a real contribution in the Senate on behalf of the Australian Labor Party”; blowing up himself, the Senator and the Labor Party with a few silly words.

Payman, Marles and, by their words and action, the Labor party, are contemptible.

200 current and former politicians have signed a letter
demanding Australia recognise Palestine as a state and
re-examine its relationship with Israel.

Israeli military official says Hamas cannot be destroyed, as rift with Netanyahu widens
http://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/20/middleeast/hagari-netanyahu-destroy-hamas-israel-intl/index.html

Did I not say it back in October?
I told you what was going to happen that it would be a recruitment drive for Hamas and Israel would be hated in the eyes of the world.

Hasn't Israel picked a fight with Hezbollah in Lebanon yet?
It will be the real beginning of the end for them if they do.
They will have Islamic fighters coming for the holy war from all across the region, and who will come to Israels aid, when they are accused of genocide and have warrants against them in the ICC, and are accused of war crimes, torture, executions, deliberate killing of women kids and journalists in order to terrorise the populace into not supporting their leadership.

Maybe it's time the Israeli leadership reaped what they've sowed.
They need to be locked up for the rest of their natural lives for what they've done.

"While the anti-U.S ranters babble about what Assange did to America, they need reminding that he, who could be described as a traitor, leaked information about Australian military operations, defence strategies, and communications with US officials."

I think our government should cut all military ties with the US immediately, and take a position of neutrality and not involve ourselves in the internal affairs of other nations, or take part in sanctions on the United States behalf.
