I’m getting a little tired of your illustrious leader lecturing us from fantasy land. After 58,000 civilians slaughtered, untold injured and engineered starvation on a mass scale, bombing schools and hospitals, medical and aid staff killed and every international justice agency calling it a crime against humanity, Albanese yet again, just last week, prattles on about ‘Israel’s right to defend itself’. Eighteen months ago it would have been a somewhat expected statement, but now? He must really think people are stupid. But wait! Our hard-hitting, independent, unbiased, investigative journalists will be all over this absurdity won’t they?
Also, thank you Richard Jones for the excellent recent article Frenemies in The Echo If only there was more of the same in the mainstream media.
