Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong slammed for Israel rhetoric ‘embarrassment’
Former foreign minister Alexander Downer says Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong have gone “much too far” in their rhetoric towards Israel.
The Foreign Minister expects Israel to ensure there is a “full, transparent investigation” and “full accountability” after their attack in Gaza killed Australian Zomi Frankcom.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is demanding “full accountability” and has called on the Israeli Ambassador to Australia to explain.
“What they’ve been saying is a disgrace, frankly, and it’s an embarrassment,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.
“They call on Israel to stop fighting, but they don’t call on Hamas, which is a terrorist organisation, to cease attacking Israelis.
“All the condemnation is directed at Israel and entirely for political reasons.”

Hamas started this BS
Albo should have visited Israel after the Oct 7th massacre But he didn't. No room for diplomacy in this administration Now, on his only phone call to Israel, he has been told to get stuffed by Netanyahu And why wouldn't he? No hostages No ceasefire

Australian people did NOT vote for a ceasefire or any further explanation. The Israelis have apologized for an accident in a war where anyone who is there is putting themselves in danger. Albanese and Wong want to let Hamas to remain in place . They are a terrorist organisation and Israel has every right to want an end to it. So the Australian people have not given the Albanese, or is that the Wong government any right to make demands.

The tragic loss of a young life. But Albanese is politicising this. It’s just sick that this hypocrite demands “ clear and transparent investigation”. Why does he not allow the same for those of us who lost loved ones in the Covid response. We are treated like “ conspiracy theorists” for raising our voices against Albanese’s pathetic attempts to block investigation, particularly in the attempts to protect fellow politicians. I deeply feel for the family of this young lady. If Albanese wants to politicise this tragedy, I will continue to call him to account for his own hypocrisy.

And people must wait for the investigation findings. Why aren’t Australians telling Elbow and Pwong that they don’t have permission to spend taxpayers money on an organisation whose billionaire leaders pocket our taxpayers money. it’s proven by many countries the money is not spent on the people. Don’t people understand that they are spending taxpayer money on their personal politics.

Let us wait until the Independent investigation is completed and results known. People who have no connection to this sad incident must stop hurling rocks at Israel now.
What is hard to take from Albanese and Wong is their selective morality. They didn't seem to have a problem with the October 7 massacre which included two Jewish Australians killed by Hamas. But they are outraged now with the death of the Australian aid worker. Albanese and Wong disgust me.
