As expressed in the UN General Assembly, the vast majority of the world’s governments and peoples agree that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza and now the West Bank.

The main supporters of Israel — the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the settler colonial states — have all expropriated their indigenous populations and find little disagreement with Israel doing the same.

What an abysmal state Australia is in when we deliberately turn away from the mass murder of Palestinians. If it was white Christians or Jews suffering this fate, the genocide would have stopped long ago.

The UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs has cried out that a” flood” of aid is urgently needed or 14,000 babies will die in the next 48 hours.

Our so-called “leaders” in church, politics, universities and media have the blood of tens of thousands of Palestinians on their hands. To say nothing to condemn genocide is to choose the side of war criminals in the Israeli Government and IDF. And that is what our “leaders” have done. Frightened by the Zionist lobby, they say nothing.

What will they be able to say when they are asked in future, “What did you do to try and stop the genocide?”

Only the US veto in the Security........
