Finally the Australian government have done the right thing and voted for the cease fire. The US and Israel are getting more and more isolated.
The press release together with NZ and Canada actually says nothing more than what has been Australian government policy for a long time
Good to see we have grown some balls on this

Interesting. As you say the US is becoming more isolated in the world stage and for good reason. Trudeau has been quite vocal about this issue and it's good to see Albo has joined him to an extent.
I see we have got the expected response from Sen Patterson. Zoe Daniel has also indicated her support for the vote which is politically brave given where her electorate of Goldstein is.
It is hard to know because the circles I live in are generally in line with my thinking but I feel like the Australian public sentiment is moving away from Israel. I may be wrong
A lot of hot air from the woke leaders. Net & Joe are not going to take such crap in. Actually if Hamas & Co wiped Israel off the map would not you blokes have nice Xmas. You do not give a crap about the Israeli's or the Israeli's who were slaughtered by Hamas. I see Khawaja testing out the water when he knows he cannot have those words on his boots when playing under the auspices of the ICC.. If he is told to remove them see if he has the guts to say he will not remove them.
Yes, good to see but if the press release has been Aust govt policy for some time, do you know why we abstained from the October UN General Assembly vote on a ceasefire?
They have abstained now in the last 2 UN GA resolutions, and also in the recent Security Council resolution. How is this a move forward?

What I was referring to was the commitment to the 2 state solution and the illegality of the settlements as being government policy. Both are mentioned in the joint statement.
Both of those are based on UN resolutions which Australia supported and I believe that has had bi-partisan support.
I assume the government thought the right for defend yourself was acceptable within that context but I assume now we are saying it has gone too far.
That’s the only thing I can think of
Fair enough. Anyway, I'm just glad Australia voted in favour this time.
This was the voting yesterday:
Compared to the vote on October 26th:
Here is Where Every Country Now Stands on a Ceasefire in Gaza - UN Dispatch
Moments ago, the United Nations General Assembly voted on a resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Israel and Gaza. This vote at the General Assembly comes after the United States cast a lone veto at the Security Council last week, blocking a ceasefire resolution put...

The problem is Israel and the US care about the U.N and what it thinks about as much as China and Russia do!
The idea of a ceasefire is rainbow and unicorns and if we are all honest its only aimed at Israel, Hamas wont stop firing rockets therefore it kicks off again.

Sin I have long liked your posting on PRE.
Big fan and I understand your viewpoint.
Your posts about Hamas do seem to be "Yes,but".
In my opinion Hamas attack on oct 7 was an act of war not terrorism. It was perpetrated by the territory govt.
And sadly Hamas has consistently shown they dont make peace.
