Massacre Israelis, and the whole world will love you. Except Donald Trump and Javier Milei.
“Australia takes anti-Israel stand, approves a Palestinian sovereignty text,” by Tovah Lazaroff and Mathilda Heller, Jerusalem Post, November 14, 2024:
Australia changed some of its traditional voting patterns at the United Nations, taking a stand against the Jewish state in two preliminary resolutions overwhelmingly approved by the General Assembly Second Committee.
Australia was among the 159 countries to vote in favor of an annual text supporting permanent Palestinian sovereignty over its natural resources on Wednesday.
It was also one of 161 nations to support a resolution in the same committee holding the IDF responsible for the Jiyeh Power Station oil spill in Lebanon and demanding compensation from Israel.
The draft texts still need to go before the UN General Assembly for a final vote. The sovereignty vote does not indicate Australian recognition of Palestinian statehood.
Last year, Canberra had abstained on the sovereignty vote and stood with Jerusalem in opposing the oil slick vote, but this year, it approved of both texts.
The votes were part of a slew of 17 anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian resolutions that the UNGA will approve by the end of this year.
With so many countries voting against it, every vote lost is seen as a defeat for Israel, and the ones gained a victory.
Argentina, in contrast, broke out from the pack, supporting both resolutions this year after having opposed them in 2023.
This is in error. Argentina opposed both resolutions after supporting them in 2023. Argentine President Javier Milei is strongly pro-Israel.
The United States and Canada, together with Israel, were among a small number of the countries that opposed both texts. The United Kingdom and all the European countries, including ones that often support Israel, also voted with the Palestinians on these resolutions….

Why is these countries supporting a terrorist group.?

The current Australian govt relies on a small number of electorates to get back into govt in the election in 2025.
These electorates have a lot of Muslims in them.
Plus they are a hard-left govt and the current Prime Minister was a leftist proPalestinian marcher in his day and still thinks this way, as does the Foreign Minister. They love throwing millions at “Palestinians” overseas – about 82 million so far – and have given $16 million to Islamic societies pushing “Palestinian” causes in Australia, all in the name of ‘social cohesion”. Those Islamic societies frequently call for genocide of Jews.

Well said.
The current hard-left Labor government must hold an election for the Federal government by May 2025. There is a high likelihood they will be replaced by a conservative government, who is likely to be more supportive of Israel.
Hank says
Australians can only blame themselves as they keep on voting for the Left-wing Islamic coalition. So if you voted for the current left government and their distructive Prime Minister you have to live with the illegal Muslim invasion and all the chaos, harm and instability it causes society and its citizens until finally the Islamists take over. Good luck
Zeena says
“Why”?
I think the motive is origonates from a desire to be popular.

It’s difficult sometimes to explain stupid. And then, there is just plain evil. It’s all over the U.N. No wonder so much evil has spilled out onto the streets of NYC.
Like a rusted barrel filled with toxic slime, tossed into a stream, oozing its foul and dangerous contents, the UN is oozing, streaming, its toxic, deadly and evil promotion of islam’s terrorism and intent to subjugate the whole world for satan.
rick says
Yea, and turn the ownership of Australia over to the Aboriginals. Aussies, represented by whatever political party is currently in vogue, can vote at the UN for whatever they want but their desires mean nothing to Jews and they cannot dictate who owns the Holy land of Israel which belongs to the Jewish people. To choose as owners of the Biblical lands of Israel certain nomadic tribes who settled there after the 7th century and became the greatest enemies of the Jewish People in the 19th, 20th and now the 2Ist centuries is an absurd and mindless conclusion unless you also hate the Jewish People as do those nomadic tribes now collectively known since the 1960s as “Palestinians”, a name formerly used only by Jews living there.

Throwing our Israeli friends under a bus won’t go down well with Aussies. The current (Labor) govt. is looking like the 1st 1-term federal govt. we’ve had in many decades. The opposition is Trumpian odds to win the 2025 election.
carpediadem says
The opposition many win but they are in no sense Trumpian.
OzPhil says
The current Albanese government is a doctrinaire Labor government which is extraordinarily and deservedly unpopular. They only won the last election due to the incompetence of the previous Liberal regime (which in Australia is actually the conservative party under a different name), and they will deservedly lose the next election. I renounce any ties I once had with Labor. Short-sighted political opportunism will be the death of the West.

At UN, Australia votes to reward Oct. 7 jihad massacre, supports ‘Palestinian’ sovereignty
……………………………….
Just disgusting rewarding of bloody savagery. Luckily this is just ‘virtue signalling’–minus the virtue, of course.
sporticus says
Melbourne department store MYER has proactively cancelled its popular Christmas windows this year because of fearsome pro-Palestinian intimidation.
I suppose MYER could be a Jewish name.
Double whammy, Christmas and Jewishness.
Joy to the world for Xmas 2024, the Religion of Peace is bringing us special gifts and offers we cannot refuse.
One good result -an Afghanistanian in Adelaide got 15 years for an attempted honour/honor murder. Don’t know if he got a letter of congratulations from the Taliban…I mean why did he “flee” Afghanistan if he is thinks just like them.
Hank says
Its all a farce this business of a Muslim refugee. The fake Muslim refugee is only there to spread Islam

MrLogical says
It’s become quite apparent that Australia is going the way of England and Canada.
Pretty soon, the iconic view of the Sydney opera house on the inner harbor will be replaced by an enormous mosque filled with throngs of rabid Muslims pledging holy jihad against we infidels.
It’s coming — unless the “real” ‘stralians find their spines and kick these anti-God, anti-Life heathens out of the country and back to the forsaken lands they came from. It might also be wise to ship a lot of the current Muzzy-lovers in the Labor government with them.
Cut this cancer out now while it’s still possible.
Brian K says
We have a Prime minister here in this country who is a total jelly fish and now he wants the misinformation bill passed. The only reason a Prime Minister would want to take away free speech from us, is because they don’t want a light shone on their filthy corruption. He obviously hates Israel and therefore will bring a curse on this country, but I guess he can always hide in his 4.5 million dollar mansion he recently bought all because his wife wanted to live by the sea I’m told. I wonder how many homeless they will pass on the way getting to it?

The way I see it, things started going south for Australia once they confiscated everyone’s firearms. It wasn’t too hard for the authorities in either Canberra, or the various state capitals to crack down on other freedoms of Australian citizens
I wonder if, rather than when, Australia can ever get another John Howard?
Brian K says
Yes Infidel you are correct I really fear for this country as sooner or later I can see it going the way of the UK. I have a mate who was born and spent years in Birmingham, and it has totally depressed him seeing it overrun by vermin. Problem is, I don’t see anyone in the political wings here in Australia who has the backbone to turn this country around. Rudd, threw money around like water trying to become popular, and put us in debt, and has disgraced himself now with America. We need someone like Trump who genuinely has a heart for this country, probably a none politician, one who doesn’t only see the job as riding the gravy train. If our poor excuse for a Prime Minister gets his way in getting the misinformation act through, then we are really in trouble
࿗Infidel࿘ says
How many resolutions does the UN need to pass? They already recognize this non-existent country “Palestine” as a member. What exactly is their reason for not recognizing, say, the Republic of Kailasa (which a NJ city council signed a trade deal w/), or if one wants something more substantial, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, b//w Moldova and Ukraine, which, among other things, has its own government, parliament, military, police, postal system, currency, and vehicle registration. Its authorities have adopted a constitution, flag, national anthem, and coat of arms. That makes it much more of a country than “Palestine”, yet no one recognizes it
Lenny Leaps In says
Penny Wong is Australia’s foreign affairs minister who consistently votes against Israel because the Labour party needs the Muslim vote to regain power when elections are held in 2025.
Let’s look at examples of the Australian Labour Party’s recent anti-Israel actions…
In October 2022 Penny Wong our announced the decision to relocate Australia’s embassy from Jerusalem back to Tel Aviv. This was despite the fact that Israel has declared Jerusalem as its eternal capital city. Her reasoning was that this decision aligns with the position of other countries.
Then in March 2024 Australia resumed funding to UNRWA to the tune of $6 million despite the fact that Hamas controls this organisation and some UNRWA staff participated in the 7 October atrocities. Furthermore, it is inconceivable that UNRWA could not have known about the vast tunnel network built by Hamas using foreign aid under residential areas of Gaza. Again, Penny reasoned that this decision to resume funding is consistent with that of other countries.
Recently Australia decided to vote in favour of membership of a Palestinian State at the UN. This is despite the fact that Hamas, a terrorist organisation, governs Gaza and its main function is the eradication of the Jews in Palestine (Israel). Again, Penny included in her reasoning that Australia’s vote in favour was in accordance with the policy of other countries.
These three major decisions are in direct opposition to the interests of the besieged Jews and have delighted Israel’s enemies. Is clear that the ALP is afraid of upsetting its voting base including marginal western Sydney electorates. Australia’s Muslims voting population is now more than eight times that of its Jewish voters and growing.
And now Penny has voted in favour of ‘Palestinians’ owning/controlling its resources despite the fact that Hamas (who want to wipe out Jews in Israel) controls Gaza/West Bank…
The main aim of Labour’s Middle Eastern policy appears to curry favour with the Muslim voting community at the expense of Jewish voters. Penny Wong’s reasoning that Australia’s policy regarding these matters is merely to align with those of other nations is fallacious. It is all about retaining power at all costs. These days Jew are Australian Labour’s sacrificial lambs.
Gourdhead says
Australia has been circling the drain for the last few years. I’m not surprised.

Can one say stupid and the citizens will quickly learn this was a huge grave mistake. BTW: government took away the right to protect themselves by outlawing weapons such as hand guns.
