The most disgusting foreign policy decision in decades is now being praised by killers throughout the Middle East.
Australia has been shamed. Thanks to the Albanese Government, we’re applauded by the world’s worst Jew-hating terrorists.
Judged by that, Foreign Minister Penny Wong has just made the most disgusting foreign policy decision in decades by cancelling our official recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Wong says she’s done this to encourage a peace deal between Israel and Palestinians, but is now praised by killers throughout the Middle East – including two organisations on Australia’s official list of terrorists.
Hamas, the terrorist ruler of Gaza, praised Wong for a “step in the right direction” – which the Hamas Charter defines as the total destruction of “racist, aggressive, colonial” Israel.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad likewise praised Wong for this “victory” in its cause.
Also singing Wong’s praises is the Palestine Liberation Organisation, which pays the families of dead terrorists a pension through its “Martyrs’ Fund”.
Throughout terrorist havens in the Middle East, the word has gone out that Australia has turned its back on Israel, the region’s only true democracy.
Wong’s U-turn has been reported by, for instance, the official newsagency of the Hezbollah terrorist group in Lebanon, and by news outlets in Iran which preach “death to Israel”. No wonder Israel is so appalled that Prime Minister Yair Lapid said he could only “hope that the Australian government manages other matters more seriously and professionally”.
