- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said it was “the right thing to do” and that illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are an “impediment to a two-state solution” as he responded to a question on Thursday about his government sanctioning Israeli settlers.
The question followed an announcement by Foreign Minister Penny Wong about financial sanctions and travel bans on seven individuals and the Hilltop Youth religious settler group.
Australia’s decision to levy sanctions on Israeli settlers accused of “beatings, sexual assault and torture” of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank follows similar decisions made by Europe and the United States earlier this year.

Sanctioning settlers is meaningless. They should sanction the state that continues to enable them.
Plus organizations, like the JNF, which funds settlers, and the people who work for it.
And stop arms shipments. The right wing cabinet was passing out rifles to these settlers like they were candy. Those rifles come from Western nations, mostly US & Germany.
They can’t keep pretending there’s no link to this. Our people need to be educated on the matter.
Hypocrites give Australia back to the aboriginal people

Israel is the real monster here.
More like shame on the world at this point a lot of empty words without anything of substance.
l'Angleterre la France l'Allemagne le Canada........
Tous complices de génocide
Pointless. Sanction the country building settlements.
Sanction the UK who built the colonial settlements and australians living on the stolen land
Maybe stop paying UNRWA to cram as many Palestinians into camps instead of relocating them to the West Bank.
good point .... for Australia it is a good start tho... just think about that they r a vasall state of the US !!! This is kinda big
More hot air
more hollywood?
😂This guy sanctioning people, not the state that allows this crime. He can't even recognise Palestine state! So Bush for the ' right thing to do' shameful
Really? Sanction only on settlers?
In a fake country committing the most documented genocide, ministers of which are terrorists.
And their parliament discusses if they should rape Palestinian prisoners till death or not.
He probably asked Israel permission before issuing these policies. Lmao. It’s beyond pathetic. And we all see it.

Hypocrite
Hamas has stopped caring and is now openly occupying homes and hospitals.. making them valid targets and nullifying the entire gazacide meme.
explain how it's a genocide when the population has increased??
Yeah these are just tactics to hinder the people resistance
Don't self censor, that's how they win.
Stopping the Genocide is more important Mr Prime Minister
Genocide or whatever nothing to do with Australia. You are on the wrong platform. Maybe you should just stay status quo.
Genocide is what happened on 10/7. Tell me the war Israel started that wasn’t defensive? Tell me when “Palestinians” have put forward a peace deal that lets Israel live side by side. A country that the UN created. Just like they created Iran, Iraq, Jordan and so on. 🤌🇵🇸🤌🇮🇷🤌🫵
The US and collective West are all complicit
It is time they should stop breaching about democracy and human rights blah blah …
@@rob-6940When our Nation is enabling Genocide - that’s our business. Go bully someone else, we’re done with it.
@@rob-6940 Two words. Pine Gap. Don't think our stinking governments are involved?
That is criminal HYPOCRISY to throw dust in the world's eyes.

My friend you hit the nail on the head.
Thank you on behalf of the people of Palestine from the Gy Australian Christian for Palestine. I am not muslim I am not Arab
Why are you shaking

If he is serious his party would have voted to recognise Palestine instead of forcing the party member that did to leave.
Hypocracy
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
After all those years, finally a word of truth
Talking is cheap, action is better
Australia literally just trying to save face. I'm sure no one forgot the Afghanistan war whistleblower
David McBride
Julian Assange. A truth teller
yep
To be fair, my current Australian government did formally recognise Palestine Territories as Occupied, soon after being elected. The previous, right wing government (which was in Office for a decade) did not do so.
I haven't read all the details, but I believe that compensation is intended to be made to citizens of Afghanistan who suffered war crimes, which were reported by Australian soldiers and which resulted in charges against the most senior member of the Australian Army.
Near where I live, a significant number of refugees from Afghanistan have immigrated to Australia. There is a shortage of housing, in this area and I believe that the government has acted compassionately, to offer refuge; especially in this particular area, in which natively born Australians might not be able to afford to live, themselves.
Whilst I couldn't say that my government has been at all infallible, regarding the catastrophe in Gaza or other situations, I do believe that positive feedback, to any governments, organisations or individuals, wherever possible, is very important; especially in this era, wherever possible.
I feel that my government and others have had many challenges, since the Covid pandemic, climate problems, war in Ukraine and the onslaught on Gaza. Taking notice of anything positive that anyone or any government is doing will, I feel, lead to further positive actions. Our world certainly needs more kindness, in my opinion!
@@sarahmill6963My current Australian government (elected in the last year, or so) has worked very hard to see Julian Assange released.
No government is 'perfect', but I would definitely balance criticism with gratitude for what has been achieved; no matter the government.
I would also try to reach out to any Israeli (or Russian, or any other "enemy" citizens whom any readers might know). Wars (and Crimes Against Humanity) HOPEFULLY end and people who were formerly "enemies" have to find ways to share our 🌎🌍🌏.
Remember: half of Europe was at terrible war with the other half, only 80 years ago. Those people have since found ways to move past the heinous traumas of the World Wars and I truly hope that people can return to ☮️ and compassion, now.
We thank you sir .
People are suffering beyond words.🙏🕊🇵🇸

Why do you want Dutton who won’t let Palestinian refugees here ?

Yes that is 4 sure
That’s the first thing that came to my mind
Thank you... people are tired of these atrocities.
The Knesset -- Israel's parliament -- just voted against Palestinian statehood.
That is the ultimate impediment to a two-state solution..
no such thing as two state.
Never was going to happen at least they dropped the subterfuge.
The past few months in gaza is a impediment that will last generations
And do you not wonder why?
Only one state i.e Palestine, zionsts are people without land / country

No it's not. It's two independent states each with self determination and autonomy.
@@MslindyroseHave you being paying attention? Bibi says that solution is not happening, as if it ever was. The illegal taking of land for settlements continued even when the official policy was a two state solution.
So true and was just a distraction from reality as Israel continued taking Palestinian land and water. Now it’s not even official policy.
Izra hell has NEVER wanted any so called "two state solution". Read their own history and media: izra hell will NEVER allow it. The plan has ALWAYS been one state: izra hell and izra hell only.
Or did people think the gncde being committed was some kind of Israeli negotiation tactic?
Oh my god a western country showing real morality, there may be hope for this world after all.
Sanction all settlements. They're all illegal

Also stop the approximately 10,000 rockets from Gaza Strip Palestine into Israel. About 90% of the rockets were shot down by the “iron dome”, otherwise the Israeli civilian casualties would have been much higher.
Shut up already. All talk and still sending supplying them war weapons. Shameless corrupt politician.

The settlers have dual citizenship... They can easily evade sanctions using their European Passport.
