Killing You to Save You
"Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression".......even if we kill many of you to ensure your right to do so. For a start, towards this end, 85 school children at a girls' primary school in Minab, southern Iran, have already been murdered by US–Israeli bombing. See?

Riddle me this -
Albanese is the most cautious, tortoise-slow politician ever to become PM - everybody complains he’s chronically risk-averse -
Yet somehow he was rushed into, pushed into inviting Herzog by Leibler?
OK. So tell me why he made an exception for Leibler, & didn’t exercise his usual caution & take his usual zillion days to think this through? 🧐

The Leibler Family
The influence of the #LeiblerFamily on Australian foreign policy has long been evident since PM
@Hawke
's commitment to 'rescue' Jewish refuseniks from the claws of the #USSR.
We, functionaries, did our bit, not realising that we were serving the objectives of the patriarch of the family, #IsiLeibler, later exposed as a Mossad agent. He, in Tel Aviv, has long guided Israeli policies towards Australia.

Australia too. I sat in the Gallery in Parliament for condolence motion after condolence motion for Australian soldiers killed in Afghanistan and felt every time “what a waste”! To insult their service is evil! Trump is an ignorant pig! Albanese should say so.

Whitlam and the Jewish Lobby [#Australia_FP]
Sincere thanks for this. I recall it now. #GoughWhitlam was our paladin then; he goes up in my estimation even more.
I attach this photo apropos of what he did for taking Australia onto the international stage - in this case, the meeting with #Mao in June 1971 - before the US established diplomatic relations with the PRC.

Albanese says...........
Canadian PM #Carney's 16-minute tour de force at Davos will reverberate through the Western alliance for years to come. Suddenly, the hitherto spineless
@Keir_Starmer
has found his voice. Now, the question is what will
@AlboMP
and
@SenatorWong
say? True, Trump did not include Australians in his insult, but it is surely incumbent on the Australian Government to support the disgust that its European allies feel at the Orange Buffoon's ignorance and idiocy.

Leiblers and Hawke
I well recall the day in May 1984 being instructed that my focus should not be on human rights in general in the #SovietUnion - "forget the Balts" - but on #JewishRefuseniks. This direction came directly from the PMO in Canberra.
Visits by #IsiLeibler, #SamLipski, and #MarcusEinfeld followed. Thereafter, our HR efforts were largely devoted to Refuseniks. PM Hawke's 1987 visit to the Soviet Union was largely devoted to issues concerning #SovietJewry, so much so that #Gorbachev was surprised.

Distinguished Columbia University Prof. Jeff Sachs on the US & Israel as a rogue state:
“Israel is a rogue state in the same way. Israel obeys no international law or morality, and so the United States and Israel are joined at the hip in this.”

Australia-India Relations
If this project were to eventuate, it would be the most damaging to Australia-India relations ever. Since 1944, Australia has discovered and rediscovered India several times, but this is one pipedream that both Australia and India could do without. It will calamitously wound Australian Multiculturalism.

Australian Cringe?
Is it a reflection of the Australian cringe culture to think that Ayatollah Khamenei in Tehran was busy calculating how two low-level, fatality-free anti-Jewish intrusions in faraway Australia might impact #Israel's and #America's behaviour towards #Iran? Flattering, but....

AUKUS and Shades of Colonialism
1. The US review of the #AUKUS agreement is expected to impose two key expectations on Australia: a significant increase in its defence spending and a commitment to deploy AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines in support of any US-led conflict.
2. The first demand would primarily benefit the US, as increased Australian defence spending would likely flow to the American military-industrial complex. This mirrors the US-NATO/EU agreement whereby the US sells arms to them, which are then transferred to Ukraine, blatantly allowing the US to profit while claiming minimal direct involvement.
3. The second demand is more insidious. It would seed the gradual undermining of Australian sovereignty, going beyond the 1951 ANZUS treaty, which only requires consultation in times of shared conflict. The US would be seeking, in effect, a pre-emptive commitment from Australia to support any US-led conflict, likely targeting China, Australia’s largest trading partner and a cornerstone of its economy.
4. This set of demands echoes the #Colonial practice in #BritishIndia. From 1857 on, when the Indian Mutiny was put down, the Imperial command was that wherever Indians served in the defence (or enlargement) of the Empire, the expenses must be met by Indian revenues alone. In effect, given the ubiquity of Indians in its army for menial services and as frontline fodder, the colonial Indian Treasury funded England’s wars.
5. In 1926, the newly appointed Viceroy of India, Lord Irwin, announced the establishment of a “Royal Indian Navy”. Its objectives, he said, would be to serve the British Empire’s needs, funded entirely by Indian revenues. The US demands, if made, would echo this colonial dynamic, treating Australia as a junior, rather than a sovereign, partner.
6. (Incidentally, as Foreign Secretary in the late 1930s, Irwin was closely associated with Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement towards Hitler.)

Sino-Australia Relations
It almost feels as if Australia is making a new start with China all over again because of the changing geopolitical circumstances of singular significance to it. As was the case at the time of #Whitlam's visit to Beijing in 1971.

Australian American Alliance,
This unprecedented step might well mark the beginning of Japan centimetering away from the US embrace. Canada is already inching away. The Costs and Benefits of Australia's American Alliance, the axis of its defence and security policies, need to be reassessed. (And not only because #PaulKeating says so.)

Trump on Canada: "I spoke to Governor Trudeau ... they don't have military protection, and you take a look at what's going on out there ... people are in danger ... they need our protection." This is a literal threat. What a psycho nutbag.
