Israel has the right under international law to use military force to defend its very existence. The Albanese government's response is despicable.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald, published on December 13, 2024, features former Labor minister Michael Danby criticizing the Australian government's stance on Israel. Danby argues that Australia's recent condemnation of Israel, particularly in relation to the conflict with Hamas, is misguided and "poisonous." He contends that the government's approach lacks nuance, ignoring Israel's right to defend itself against attacks from Hamas, which he describes as a terrorist organization. Danby highlights the complexity of the situation, pointing out that while civilian casualties are tragic, the responsibility lies with Hamas for using civilians as human shields. He also expresses concern over the potential damage to Australia-Israel relations and the broader implications for international diplomacy, suggesting that the government's position could embolden terrorist groups and undermine peace efforts in the region.
