Effective today, Sunday the 21st of September 2025, the Commonwealth of Australia formally recognises the independent and sovereign State of Palestine.
I don’t love this reasoning, because the same reasoning could be (and was) used to call people supporting Palestine/opposing genocide two months ago “traitors”. These people are gross because they support genocide, not because they disagree with Australia foreign policy.
Indeed they are gross for supporting genocide, though by definition supporting the American position of retribution for our reasonable position here is traitorous, unlike that of those supporting Palestine. I’m not sure how else I can define support for ICE detaining Albo which was among a few things I’ve seen today. Not here of course.
Oh right, you’re not just talking about people who disagree with Australian foreign policy, but people who would support actual crimes against our Government because of that disagreement?
People who support the US opposition to our acceptance of Palestinian sovereignty and say so. People who are happy to see our PM detained and us ‘punished’ for our position.
