4. Here is the problem, and it is by no means limited to Australian lawmakers.

Nobody is calling for new sanctions against international players like Iran and Qatar who are the driving force behind Islamist terrorism in Gaza and the Middle East in general.

Nobody is calling for arrests and prosecution of Hamas leaders abroad.

Nobody is calling out the failed UN bureaucracies who, despite their good intentions, paved the road to hell which leads to aiding and abeting Gazan militants and their regime.

Nobody is calling for international support for Israeli opposition, which by now constitutes the majority of Israeli public, to the Netanyahu regime, except the aforementioned Israeli opposition, but their calls have been met with deafening silence.

Nobody is willing to acknowledge that the suffering of Gazan civilians so prominently on display in mass media is but a symptom of a far more dangerous disease which is being inflicted on Gaza, deliberately so, by their current rulers. Everybody is calling attention to the horrific signs of the disease and demanding immediate treatment of the gaping wound to cover up its externally manifested symptoms, which may serve as compelling visuals for media consumption, but everybody avoids the mentions of the cause of the disease, and some even glorify it.

With a curious exception of Mahmoud Abbas, the legitimate representative of the Palestinians in Gaza: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/23/middleeast/mahmoud-abbas-calls-hamas-sons-of-dogs-demands-hostage-release-intl/index.html

Call this a conspiracy theory, but all signs I see in the news-making pronouncements of leaders like David Pocock point to a very pronounced slant, if not extreme prejudice against Israel, which, BTW, is home to 15% of all the Palestinians worldwide, equal to the entire population of Gaza, none of whom suffer the decades-long oppression nearly equivalent to their Gazan peers.
