Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong’s response to Israel’s genocide in Palestine is an insult to Palestinians living under occupation, bombardment, and relentless oppression. It’s a shirking of Australia’s international obligations, and an affront to people of good conscience across this continent who, for 57 weeks, have rallied, protested, and pleaded for Australia to take a stand against these crimes.

This inaction is a betrayal, not just of the Palestinian people, but of every Australian who demands justice, accountability, and an end to Australia’s passivity.
