\nWong is still making excuses for acting on Israel’s debunked accusations against UNRWA (as children starve)
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

ABC report: “<\/span><\/strong>Foreign Minister Penny Wong has sought further evidence that UN aid staff were involved in the Hamas terror attacks of October 7, admitting she does not yet have all the evidence to hand. Australia and other countries including the US, UK, Switzerland and Germany paused their funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) after the agency announced it would investigate Israel’s allegations that 12 of its 13,000 staff played a part in the attacks or had links to Hamas.”<\/span><\/p>\n

12 of its staff? Out of 13,000?<\/span><\/p>\n

135 UNRWA<\/span><\/a> staff members are known to have been killed in Gaza<\/a><\/span> since October 7th. <\/span><\/strong>Seems their sacrifice meant nothing to a Labor Party intent on pleasing an Israeli ethnostate accused of Genocide<\/a><\/span>. Then there’s the 27,840 murdered by the IOF (as of 8th February ’24). Many of them children. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Also of little consequence to a Labor Party more concerned with the hurt feelings of Israeli\/Zionist\/Jewish (take your pick) lobbies, wailing about inconsequential “antisemitism<\/span><\/a>“. <\/span>

\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ABC Report continued:<\/strong> “British news outlet Channel 4<\/a><\/span>1<\/sup><\/span> cast doubt over the allegations, reporting a dossier Israel provided to the UN to support its allegations contained “no evidence” to support the claims. But Senator Wong maintained Israel’s allegations were serious, noting UNRWA itself had determined an investigation was warranted.” –<\/span> Foreign minister Penny Wong says Australia does not yet have all evidence of Israel’s UNRWA allegations<\/strong><\/span><\/a> – Evelyn Manfield – ABC<\/span>

 <\/p>\n

Wong should never have acted without concrete evidence, that’s how Australia got itself involved in the Iraq war<\/a><\/span>. In this case, a decision to pause funding was always going to increase hunger<\/a><\/span> amongst innocent, starving Palestinian children. Wong was fully aware of the suffering<\/a><\/span> Australia’s decision would cause. She continues to drag her feet to aid Israeli ambitions<\/a><\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

“Gunness, the former UNRWA spokesman, said there is a \u201ccoordinated political attack\u201d on the UN\u2019s agency for Palestinian refugees. \u201cThe Israelis have said they cannot win the war on Gaza unless UNRWA is disbanded. So what clearer signal do you want?\u201d <\/em>– Source<\/a><\/span><\/span>

Notes<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 1 <\/sup><\/span>The<\/span> ABC apparently lack the IT skills to link to a source – so I did it for them.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 2<\/sup><\/span> Wong emulates that<\/span> Hasbara<\/a><\/span> we’ve all seen so much of lately. That and the fucking Jewish\/Israeli\/Zionist lobby groups crowding our news with their bogus antisemitism wailings<\/span><\/a>, as the<\/span> Genocide in Gaza<\/a><\/span> goes largely unreported.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But I digress – “We know that since 2017, Australia has agreed to some 350 weapons export permits to Israel alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

We know that Penny Wong\u2019s department publishes data that says arms and ammunition exports to Israel have amounted to some $13 million in the same period<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

We know as well that an Australia company is essentially supplying the F-35 fighter planes that are dropping munitions and bombs on Gaza.<\/span><\/p>\n

But despite all of that evidence, we continue to get angry aggressive denials from Penny Wong.<\/span><\/p>\n

If it wasn\u2019t about such a brutal and destructive conflict, you could write it off as traditional politicising, but it has got to the point now where it\u2019s a deeply offensive refusal to engage in Australia\u2019s complicity.<\/span><\/p>\n

I find her manner of response and her refusal to engage with the issues some of the most disturbing political theatre that I have seen in my time in politics.” – Hiding Australia\u2019s Complicity: Shoebridge on Wong\u2019s Trumpian Denial of Weapons Export Probing<\/span><\/strong><\/a> by Paul Gregoire – Sydney Criminal Lawyers
