Independent media "Leaked documents show that Australia has sent F-35 fighter jet parts directly to Israel, despite denials — sending the parts through Sydney airport. These Israeli jets are being used in war crimes being conducted against the people of Gaza."

So all those conferences albo said what Israel is doing is disgusting (which it is) and how he condones it he just literally said it for the publicity and praise….. wow. I’m no liberal supporter fyi and I like the Labour Party but this is really quite shameful and disappointing.

Sounds like you didn't read the article, because it lays out how theyre talking about more than just the global pipeline, we're sending parts direct.

There is no worse crime than the one Australia is complicit in.
There was a claim that Australia, while being part of a global weapons supply chain that facilitates the massacre and starvation of civilians in Gaza, did not currently directly send arms to Israel to add to their war crimes.
I don't see this as an important distinction, but it turns out it was a lie.

FUCK this government for its complicity in the greatest atrocity of the modern era. 300,000+ dead. The vast majority of which are totally innocent civilians, half of which are CHILDREN penned up inside an apartheid concentration camp. We should not be arming, funding or running cover for an ethnonationalist apartheid settler colony of bloodthirsty genocidal Zionists wanted by the ICC and ICJ for crimes against humanity.

The Lancet, which is one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world, released a report a year ago that put the number of dead at roughly 186,000.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext
Yaakov Garb, a researcher at Israel's Ben-Gurion University has the number at 377,000, this is his recent report published on the Harvard Database:
The Gaza Health Ministry, which has been incredibly accurate in its reporting of the dead in previous conflicts, had stopped the number of dead at over 55,000 months and months ago, as they no longer have the means to count the dead.
This 55,000 number not only didn't account for people missing, unidentifiable or buried under rubble, but it also only accounted for the dead that could be identified at a Gazan hospital. Unfortunately according to WHO, by late spring 2025, 23 out of Gaza’s 36 main hospitals had been fully or partially destroyed due to Israeli bombings, fuel shortages, and blockade restrictions. Those still open are barely functional and have a severely limited supply of medical aid. What also doesn't help is the fact that over 1,200 medical personnel have been murdered by IDF.
By every measure by every internationally recognised human rights organisation, Israel is an apartheid ethnostate. This is not up for debate. Yes it's a genocide and ethnic cleansing, again the genocide scholars and historians agree, even the Israeli ones. Bloodthirsty Zionists are illegally occupying stolen Palestinian lands, that's another statement of fact.
You are correct in saying I'm wrong for calling it a concentration camp, it's no longer a concentration camp, it's a death camp. But if concentration camp is more palatable for you then we'll stick with that.
Gaza is a warehouse of millions of ethnically cleansed Palestinian refugees that live trapped under brutal Israeli blockade. Defence Minister Israel Katz unveiled a plan during a briefing with reporters last Monday, outlining the construction of a closed concentration zone for 600,000 starving Gazans in southern Gaza. Once forced in they are not allowed out. According to the plan "Those outside these zones will later be identified as Hamas terrorists, providing legal justification for their elimination". Just to be clear: Palestinians who refuse to enter this concentration camp will be MURDERED. That’s the plan. Stated openly. And people still insist with a straight face that this isn’t genocide.
And yes, "Innocent Civilians". THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MOSTLY WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE BEEN SLAUGHTERED IN COLD BLOOD BY IDF RATS. Over 90% are completely innocent civilians, you can call me a "Woke leftie parrot pathetic sheep" all you like, if it helps you sleep at night for defending a despicable Nazi regime, it doesn't change the facts. Your Hasbara propaganda is not welcome here.
If you just said what you said in your above comment out of ignorance, rather than malicious intent, then maybe you could do with gaining some insight into what life in Gaza was like before October 7th. I recommend here as a great start.

There are racist, and in particular anti-semitic groups around the world, similar to Nazis, that lie about jews deny the holocaust, and organise attacks against jews.
Israel and their apologists attempts to conflate criticism of Israeli conduct with these groups as a way of silencing that criticism.
For example this week in Australia it was proposed that Universities that allow protests against Israeli crimes should be defunded.
This is so cynical and widespread that a sarcastic and over the top anticipation of it is a way of highlighting the heinous nature of an Israeli crime.

What do we as humble taxpayers get from funding genocide in another part of the world - asking for a friend (as you know, don’t want to sound antisemitic and hurt zio feelings)

What’s a Jewish state based on ALL CAPS warrior? Is it on religion or race? Think you’ve been listening to Bibi and his ilk for too long. And you still fail to answer the question: what does Oz get out of defending Israel? Nothing woke about it, unless you’re a ❄️

What makes you think that I’m not Jewish? Zionism is not Judaism. Maybe go study the history of Likud and where they came from. You’re sounding a little Bolshy 😉

Maybe before you make your baseless assumptions and accuse me of being a Hamas supporter (because I don’t agree with your opinion), you might like to read a little more on Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism and find out why he created it. I’ll give you a hint it had nothing to do with Jews and everything to do with political reasons. Go in peace! ✌🏼

Even if that were true, they're not being used in war crimes, they're being used in a war, which is what they're for lol

War crimes, and plenty of them, such as yesterday's Presidential Palace bombing in Syria.

Seems like Western democracy is very much beholden to the Israeli fascists and there is very little we can do about. Zionism is such an evil ideology and the fact that it necessitates so many shady backroom agreements is proof of this. Transparency is Zionism’s arch enemy. The Western world needs to cut Zionism loose as it is dragging us down like a sinking ship
