Sad to say, Australia is a laughing stock, out of touch with the rest of the Western world.

While Albanese does what he likes best - being out of the country - the laughs are on Penny Wongo, with her ridiculous calls for ‘dialogue’ and ‘constraint in the Middle East.

Question: How many hospitals did Israel destroy in Gaza?
Answer: 36, and they attacked them 130+ times

The Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, wasn't even directly hit but received blast wave damage when an Iranian missile hit a military target adjacent to the hospital.

Albanese wasn't even invited to the joint press conference on AUKUS with Trump and Starmer, prompting one commentator to quip that AUKUS might become UKUS. Australia wasn't even mentioned.

The same commentator suggested that Trump was not going to tolerate Australia kowtowing to China and backsliding on its defence budget.

It is now hard to believe that we used to be one of America's closest allies, before Albanese.

Albanese is being seen as pulling away from the US alliance. In relation to the Middle East and Communist China this belief might turn out to be a sickening fact.

Given the return of the Albanese government, and the pathetic effort of the Liberal Party, perhaps a split with the US is what Australian voters want. The ‘equivalence’ view of Israel - another ally being dumped - with the theocratic dictatorship Iran seems to point that way.

We are already starting to look like a tributary state of Communist China under ‘handsome boy’, Xi's little mate, who accepts China’s aggressive behaviour and enriches it while dragging Australia down, economically and culturally.

Dear Critic,

«Not everything is about your family, but maybe for you it is and that's not unreasonable.»

It is most reasonable and so for you.

«You said you didn't care of millions of Palestinians had to die so your family could be saved.»

Correct, and so would you.

«You didn't give a crap when entire families of innocent people were being slaughtered at the hands of the Israeli government.»

Incorrect.

Of course I PRIORITISE my family, but that does not mean that I do not care about others.

At the beginning of the war, up until around the first cease-fire (November 24th, 2023), what Israel did was necessary for saving my family.

After that, Israel went beyond what was necessary to save my own and other families that were in the same predicament.

I disapprove of killing or hurting even one innocent person beyond what is absolutely necessary for saving my family.

The line is blurred. Nobody can tell EXACTLY when killing innocents was still necessary and when it was no longer, but by now it has been crossed big time and I condemn that.

«If that's your attitude then don't complain when someone else decides to retaliate against Israel for its own reckless behaviour against others.»

Those who retaliate are fools, they dig their own graves, all they needed was to stop launching rockets at Israel (which were intercepted anyway, or fell within Gaza) and then they would still have a life. SADLY they didn't and SADLY they don't.

But have I complained?

They made their choice to die, OK, but my family still wants to live, so why should you be complaining?

«Israel is a pathetic little bitch state.»

States are a stupid and evil creation, pathetic them all and I wish there were none, but it is immensely tragic that nothing else presently stands in the way of certain murder of my family other than this pathetic state of Israel.

«But as always, this is a US engineered crisis.»

I don't know or care about them, nor can my family do anything about it.

[...continued]

«I advised you 18 months back to send your family on an extended holiday to Cyprus»

And I advised you that it is completely impractical and that they won't listen to me anyway.

«and your family was too busy feeding the murderous IDF while Israel was bombing and starving the Palestinians»

They were feeding the IDF while it saved their lives and stopped it no long after.
Still, what's wrong about conscripts at least having decent meals, who never had a say about being sent to Gaza?

«If you'd listened they wouldn't be in harms way right now.»

If THEY listened then they would be harmed already:
Why losing your home, your friends and everything you worked for and wondering instead with nothing as refugees in exile, including small children and the elderly - is that not a harm?

«How many Palestinians were killed by IDF trying to get food for their kids at aid distribution points?»

What has my family to do with it?

«Israel is a sick nation full of hate, and I told you that too.»

The concept of "nation" is sick!

«Their lives don't matter?»

They do. But for me, the lives of my family matters MORE, and surely also for you.
