In failing to act, Australia shirks international law and enables genocide

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.

Instead of real action, we are met with excuses, hollow words and empty gestures that fail to challenge Israel’s genocidal, apartheid regime. 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.

Wong’s framing of this genocide as a “conflict,” a “war” is a gross misrepresentation of reality. This is not a conflict between two equal sides, nor is it a matter of “divergent perspectives.” It is a systematic campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing aimed at erasing Palestinians from their homeland, and Australia’s handwringing over neutrality and ceasefire is nothing short of complicity.
