Against the wishes of Australia, and while the streets of our cities are routinely taken over by individuals clutching portraits of dead Hamas terrorists, Foreign Minister Penny Wong decided to partner with Jordan and send aid to Gaza.

Gaza, we remind the Senator, boasts a citizenry which largely agrees with the genocidal agenda of From the River to the Sea and at least half of whom supported October 7. At best, we can assume a majority harbour hostile sentiment toward Christians, Jews, and Westerners in general.

Do they deserve our money?

That is a fair question, considering it is money taken directly from the hands of very deserving Australians whose only crime appears to be the misfortune of being born into a Labor government.

When it comes to Palestine, there is no requirement for Australia to intervene. It is not our war. It is not our part of the world.

Personally, I have a problem giving people money who would never lift a finger to help Australia.

Our wealth is not infinite (especially when we are in a trillion dollars of debt) and this sort of aid becomes dead money. We are not purchasing peace or favour. We are not solving the humanitarian problem in Gaza. It is not a binding commitment. About the best Labor can hope for is some very expensive domestic praise and an extra seat or two.

Meanwhile, intervening (in any way) risks stirring tensions between Islamic and Jewish communities inside Australia while interrupting the peace of non-aligned citizens who want nothing to do with any of it.

Between the conflict of Gaza and Lebanon, our government has sent $110 million since the October 7 terror attack on Israel.

In other words, enough to fully fund 3,682 Australian pensioners who are surely more deserving.

Worse, this country has spent $19.477 billion in foreign aid (generally) since Anthony Albanese first became Prime Minister (including 2025 projections).

Money on football teams, fictional apocalypses, and Mafia-style protection.

That ‘generosity’ from Albanese was enough for 651,971 pensioners.

Pensioners who cannot afford to turn the heating on in winter.

Are we really supposed to believe that Jim Chalmers has to start raiding super balances to keep the economy ticking over?

Are there, perhaps, other money-saving options available to a responsible Treasurer whose first and sole concern is the responsible use of public money?

What is Labor’s excuse for prioritising foreign citizens over Australian citizens?

Labor proudly announced:

‘Australia has committed more than $100 million in humanitarian assistance to support civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, too much of which Israel has prevented from reaching vulnerable people … we condemn the abhorrent and outrageous comments made by members of the Netanyahu government about these people in crisis.’

We condemn you, the Labor Party, for neglecting the Australian people.

In the last 20 years, Palestine has received something in the order of $20-30 billion from the world on good faith. What did the Palestinians do with it? Predominately, they used it to build a heavily-armed terror state. At what point does the world admit it is wasting the money of good people on a government that cannot be helped and whose driving motivation involves murdering Jews?

Why is Australia funding this project?

Why is a single dollar headed to Gaza?

Now the region has even bigger problems, with Iran (Palestine’s chief sponsor of Islamic terrorism) failing to take America up on its nuclear weapons talks.

In violation of international law, and after many many many warnings, Iran’s nuclear program has reached a critical point.

The BBC reported:

The agency (International Atomic Energy Agency) also said it could not provide assurance that the Iranian nuclear program was exclusively peaceful because Iran was not complying with its investigation into man-made uranium particles discovered by inspectors at three undeclared nuclear sites.

The article also features the following line…

Iran has always said that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and that it has never sought to develop a nuclear weapon.

Yes, and the riots in California are mostly peaceful.

Iran’s response to Israel destroying its illegal uranium enrichment program was an immediate vow to set up a more advanced illegal enrichment program, which shows you the regime’s level of interest in de-escalation and international law.

It should be obvious why Iran cannot be allowed to possess a nuclear arsenal.

(For those online who ask why North Korea is allowed to have around 50 nuclear weapons, their existence is thanks to Russia and China who keep Kim Jong-Un as a scary, nuclear-armed pet. It is an ongoing concern that makes the ignorant calls of Australian ministers and senators to kick America out of Pine Gap a threat to national security. So far, the only territory North Korea has blown up is itself with underground tests. It is unlikely North Korea would employ a nuclear attack without the approval of Russia and China, which gives America considerable leverage over the situation.)

Iran is feared to be more proactive with the use of any nuclear weapon they may acquire (or share with groups such as Hamas). The dysfunctional approach of Western leaders towards Israel, especially idiotic decisions to attach sanctions to Cabinet Ministers, risks exactly what Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, said in an angry statement: ‘We remind our partners not to forget who the real enemy is.’

As far as anyone can tell, Labor believes ‘the real enemy’ is colonial settler apartheid oppression. It is very rare that you will hear them criticise Islam’s central role in the radicalisation of the Palestinian people.

To date, it seems America is prepared to allow Israel to head-off the nuclear threat of a terrorist Iranian state. It would be complicated for Donald Trump to engage directly in a foreign war after promising not to during his election campaign and then doing his best to side-step active engagement against Russia. Iran could get very messy, with Russia one of the forces originally behind Iran’s nuclear program (just as it did with North Korea). Worse, Iran, China, and Russia hold joint military exercises and engage in an active arms trade. The White House is of the belief that Iran is helping to arm Russia in its illegal war against Ukraine as we speak.

Since Israel moved to prevent Iran from violating pretty much every international agreement about nuclear proliferation, Senator Wong has been posting SmartTravel warnings about Iran.

No posts condemning the Iranian regime.

No notification of sanctions against Iranian political leaders.

The best the Foreign Minister could manage was an expression of ‘alarm’.

‘This risks further destabilising a region that is already volatile. We call on all parties to refrain from actions and rhetoric that would further exacerbate tensions. We all understand … the threat of Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile program. It represents a threat to international peace and security, and we urge the parties to prioritise dialogue and diplomacy.’

I am curious, what was Senator Wong’s solution to Iran’s refusal to stop pursuing an illegal nuclear program going to be? More ‘urging’? That solves the problem … how?

Let us not forget that Iran is a sponsor of Hamas, the government of Palestine, where Australia just sent $100-ish million. Sure, it has been channelled through aid corridors, but we all saw how that worked out last time.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said of Iran seeking out nuclear arms, ‘We are very aware of what has occurred. It’s concerning, any escalation in the region. We, of course, are very conscious of the threat that Iran becoming a nuclear state would represent to peace and security in the region as well. We want to see these issues resolved through dialogue and the United States has been playing an important role there.’

From that we can take away that he is concerned.

The Greens are even more clueless about the reality of conflict and Islamic regimes, with one Senator saying: ‘The Australian government must call on Israel to step back from military brinkmanship and engage with international legal processes and diplomatic solutions. Israel’s actions threaten to ignite a wider regional conflict that would have devastating consequences for tens of millions of people around the world.’

Iran is the regime building nuclear weapons against international law. Iran has ignored diplomatic solutions. They want nukes and they do not care about the ignorant words of the Greens. The detachment from reality is extraordinary.

Iran could have avoided the attack by obeying international law. They broke international law and Israel had little choice but to remove a nuclear threat on its doorstep wielded by a regime that makes a living destabilising peace with an iron ring of terror around the only democracy in the Middle East.

Dave Sharma pointed out on Sky News Australia that urging dialogue between Iran and Israel ‘sounds very well, but those two countries have not spoken directly for 46 years’.

‘They don’t have diplomatic relations; Iran is committed to Israel’s destruction – ideologically and politically.’

What does the diplomatic dialogue between Israel and Iran look like?

Israel’s Defence Minister, Israel Katz, said: ‘If (the Supreme Leader of Iran) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn.’

Australia can’t do much, but we can stop sending money to within arm’s reach of terror states and stand behind America as a united Western front so, at the very least, our enemies aren’t presented with a fractured, weak advisory ripe for exploitation with, say, a Pacific conflict.

So, kindly, please stop the bleeding-heart politics before it bleeds all over international diplomacy.
