We hear that Australian war servicemens’ graves have been damaged by the Israelis on the West Bank.
As well as this desecration, Richard Males says that the Australian taxpayer will pick up the bill for repairs. Just unbelievable! Why aren’t we demanding the Israeli government repair the damage?

Minns and Albanese, you want peace, reasonableness and bringing the country together? Well you set this up to fail by your undemocratic laws and inviting a criminal into the country. This is not the Labor way. You’ve failed as leaders and the Australian people. Labor, never again. You’ve lost me.

I’m furious this evening. According to Richard Marles, Australian taxpayers will be paying for repair of war graves on the West Bank after being bulldozed by Israel! Why isn’t Israel paying for the repairs? Unbelievable!
