“The 62-year-old surgeon told MPs: ‘What I found particularly disturbing was that a bomb would drop, maybe on a crowded, tented area and then the drones would come down.’

“His face shook with emotion as he paused for several seconds to compose himself.” He continued: “The drones would come down and pick off civilians - children. We [were] operating on children who would say: ‘I was lying on the ground after a bomb had dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me.’“[2]

According to UNICEF, 21,289 children have been killed in Gaza.[3] The World Health Organisation calculated that in 2023 one child was being killed every ten minutes.[4]

Israel and their supporter's actions are disgusting. When you find yourself defending this, you've lost all moral compass. Jillian Segal should be in prison for promoting and materially supporting a terrorist organisation not empowered to turn the screws on other Australians/organisations to accept her vacuous and genocidal narrative.

Fuck Israel. Unrepentent child murderers.

Agree. Shameful cowardice of Australian government.

I think theres more going on than what the government is admitting to. I think they've made the calculation that they don't have broad enough support to really push back hard, which basically makes Australia cucks to whatever the orange cheeto and the child murderers desire.

But this is me speculating, because I can't fathom why a government that bases itself on broadly humanitarian principles wouldn't be acting in the way the Spanish government has been acting.
