It's Israel, stupid

As sanctions and boycotts on Israel are at a pivot point - who can tell those sanctioning that it's not just about a ceasefire - structural change is needed in Israel before sanctions should end.

🇦🇺🇮🇱📣 Which prominent then young Australian pro-Israel lobbyist met with “my first prime minister” in 1973 do you think? And Whitlam later publicly called out the Melbourne pro-Israel lobby’s attempted blackmail of the Government.

The Trump “Peace Plan” reads like Netanyahu just dictated it to him to read back.
No occupation mentioned, no accountability not one Palestinian voice in the mix - sounds like Bibi has secured a private “Balfour Declaration 2.0” arrangement for the end goal despite the posturing.

It reads as if handed to Trump by Netanyahu. Not even one acknowledgement of Palestinian suffering or any perspective on the occupation.

Trump peace plan: implicit dropping of genocide and war crimes charges against Israel and Netanyahu, open ended IDF “security perimeter”, installing colonial Governor Blair. And not one word acknowledging the suffering of the Palestinians or the occupation. WTF.

A perfect fit for Sky News Australia continuing to present a one-sided pro-Israel view of Gaza.

Wonder if Sky management reviewed her Sydney Uni selfie from just last year?
Leach filmed herself at Sydney University tearing down pro-Palestine posters during O-Week 2023 whilst blaring Israeli music - which would appear to be a breach of the University’s deplatforming code of conduct.

In 2024 leaked audio the ADL moaned about TikTok’s “pro-Palestine problem.” Months later, Congress forced a sale. Now, Trump’s handed it to a pro-Israel crew led by Larry Ellison. Coincidence?
