As an Australian, no we didn’t. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it’s withdrawn.
Reminder that defunding UNRAW is an attempt to make people forget about ICJ ruling.
The ruling that said nothing more than to ask Israel to behave? Why would a distraction from this even be necessary?
Because people might ask why the ICJ even felt the need to direct Israel to follow the law…
This distraction give Israel an excuse now why they haven’t resumed shipment of food, fuel, medicine, and water.
The court said they had to resume aid and within hours they come out with accusations against the agency tasked with getting aid into the country. Now other countries are cutting funding to UNRWA and being complicit in genocide. Israel is getting more accomplices in the genocide which will incentivize more countries to side against the Palestinians because now they might get added to the case as aiding the settler colonialist genocide government.
Because two separate events can’t happen without it being a conspiracy evidently.
