And Bob is one hundred percent right George. What the hell else could you call what Israel is doing? They are exterminating our fellow human beings. I’ve never seen such a global collection of selfish, gutless, spineless, leaders.
Are there any lawyers at the UN? And in governments?
— No state has an inherent right to exist; states exist de facto. Their existence depends on international de-facto recognition of clearly defined, unchanging borders, which Israel possesses no more than Palestine.
Rather than a nation-state Isreal is a de-facto occupier of two existing nations and one aspiring nation.
— States acquire the right of self-defence only when they achieve existence.
International law feels overwhelmingly primitive / dysfunctional in the 21st Century. It still lacks a specific tool to tackle lies, hypocrisy, and double standards, with special sanctions for those lies by the veto powers. Israeli liars and US cover-ups cannot be allowed a speech space in UNSC meetings. This just does not work: lies cannot share the same space of truth as equals.
Excellent post, George. Few politicians have the moral courage of Mr. Carr. As you say, history will judge him kindly and condemn those who were complicit in this 21st century horror.
Absolutely spot on, Mr Carr. It has been said before that Israel should be sanctioned and heavily, also name Israeli products so we can avoid buying them. Stop all donations from Israel to anyone in this country, especially politicians. Other donations should have a low ceiling set at $1,000 per calander year; that stops the sneaky bastards from splitting their donations over months.
Do not forget to close our embassy there and close theirs here and send back their diplomats, and israeli staff. And, stop allowing weapons or parts or any damn thing that could help these maniac genocides from murdering Palestinians.
Bravo Mr. Carr for speaking the truth, and for your conviction. The occupation is committing, and has been committing, genocide and imposing starvation on the people of Palestine. Words are good, but hopefully concrete action can be taken as soon as possible to end this carnage and slaughter

Law is meaningless. Enforcement is the only thing that matters.

Take away the United States as Israel's thug, and watch Australian politicians change their colors like chameleons.
