Israel kills Palestinian men, women, and children, and then they look around the world and they don’t receive a single sanction, a single sanction to stop. They are emboldened and they keep acting. I mean, this motion is a joke. It is a joke “as part of a peace process”. What peace process? Israel is carrying out a genocide. Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. It’s not a peace process. Why is it that 146 countries could find it within their hearts to recognise Palestine right now. Why is it that the Australian Government refuses?
How is it that when a Labor Senator, Senator Payman, who had the principles and the courage to cross the floor to vote with the Greens to immediately recognise Palestine, why is it that Senator Payman face [sic] more sanctions than Labor has dished out against Israel?
What do you all do? What does this Labor Government do? They can recognise Israel but they can’t immediately recognise Palestine. You can’t end two-way arms trade. You can’t cancel the Elbit Systems contract. You can’t sanction Israel. And you should all be deeply, deeply ashamed.
