I get we need alliances for geo-political reasons but when we’re supporting the indefensible and compromising ourselves it becomes infuriating.

Yep either that or blind faith!

Without question.

Still justifying it with ridiculous excuses.

An inability to think critically, blind allegiance.

Calling any discourse as “leftist rhetoric “

Yep - we’re constantly sending hardware to the middle east.

This however, is in plain sight.

@australianlabor.bsky.social supported AUKUS in opposition when Morrison brainfarted it, they’ve since taken it to two elections as policy.

We won’t see a defence policy that reflects what Australians want unless we cease voting for the major parties.

Trump rebukes Starmer over UK refusal to back strikes on Iran US president says ‘relationship is not what it was’ after PM defends decision not to allow use of British bases

I didn’t realise that, I know Canada and NZ said no.

UK weren’t backing it…

It’s definitely going to affect how people vote in the next election - hopefully civilisation will still exist by then.

I wonder how the rusted ons feel about Australia getting involved?

I feel devastated for Australian soldiers who’ll likely be targets.

NZ, Canada and the UK are refusing to get involved.

Why us?

Penny Wong said a regime that murders its own people has no legitimacy.

I wonder if she would apply the same logic to the US?

Senator Cash falls into the basket as the worst of humanity, her Zionist opinions are unwanted, the attacks are illegal, Not Sanctioned by the UN Security Council.

The US & Israel are Rogue states Bombing and Murdering anyone they choose to‼️

Preferential voting’s pretty good like that.

I keep an open mind, often change my mind, vote one way in one election and realise there’s been an ideological shift which doesn’t align with my values and change.

I research and read extensively to try to be non partisan.

There can never be a team, IMO, if there is all good sense leaves.

Extreme rhetoric in right-wing political circles deserves more attention The rhetoric in Australia's right-wing political circles is getting more extreme and the media should be paying more attention.

"The ABC contacted the office of Jillian Segal, Australia's antisemitism envoy, to see what her response to those comments was. It's been almost a week now, and there's been no reply."

Khomeini’s gone but many waiting in the wings to perpetuate the regime.

If it was about regime change, there’d be proper support for the Iranian people, a plan.

The US has let Iranians down time & time again.

This isn’t about helping Iran it’s Trump doing the bidding of his masters.
