    The Albanese government has been vocal in its criticism of Israel, so I don’t see how that is relevant.

      Vocal in that after months of protests and undeniable evidence they are now politely asking Israel to pretty please call a ceasefire. I don’t recall ALBO retracting his statement that Israel is our friend. It wasn’t that long ago they were voting against a ceasefire. Albo doesn’t believe Australia can nor should do anything more to help the plight of gazans.

      The idea that Albo is as “horrified” by a journalist being shot by a rubber bullet as he was when Israel bombed an ambulance killing an Australian aid worker or the 10s of thousands of children just being starved to death seems very relevant.

        Albo is as “horrified”

        You’re just making a strawman here, Albanese never said he was “as horrified” by these two unrelated events.

        Your false equivalence is pointless.

          Oh shit, you’re right he said the footage was horrific. He must have been criticising the camera operator… Strawman my ass. There is a direct link to the language he is using in these events. Your inability to connect dots must make it difficult to draw.

            Read what you wrote again.

            is as “horrified”

            You’re claiming he is equally horrified by these two unrelated events. There is no evidence for your claim.

            Oh and today the Albanese government joined with other nations in sanctioning Israeli government ministers.

              I know he doesn’t give a shit about Gaza. There is plenty of evidence to suggest this. I know his response to this footage is about the same as his response to any of the horrors of what gazans have been subjected to. By all means, keep doing your mental gymnastics. Here I’ll help: Albo is a great guy. Pure as the driven snow. Couldn’t have done more. Loves us all equally. Never said a bad word against them. He sure stood by them. I bet it’s all just a misunderstanding.

                I know you don’t give a shit about rape victims. There is plenty of evidence to suggest this.

                I know his response to this footage is about the same as his response to any of the horrors of what gazans have been subjected to.

                Claims without evidence are worthless, like you, you rapist loving pedophile.
