Episode 8. A broken Ceasefire: The continuing crisis and Australian weakness (12 Dec 2023)
There was cautious optimism about the ceasefire in Gaza, but that hope has quickly faded. The Israel Defense Forces have broken the truce, and the humanitarian crisis has worsened as more Palestinian civilians, including women and children, are killed. James Elder from UNICEF describes the dire conditions in Gaza, where sanitation and disease are rapidly becoming major issues. In this episode, we look at how the international community continues to fail in taking decisive action to stop Israel’s aggression in Gaza and the West Bank. Despite calls for peace, including resolutions from Young Labor and 40 Labor branches, the situation remains unchanged. We also hear from Labor MP Stephen Jones, who advocates for an end to the war and a two-state solution, but as we discuss, it’s the action on the ground that truly matters, and right now, that action is lacking. We also explore the growing voices of dissent within the Jewish community in Australia, many of whom oppose Israel’s current policies. Publisher Louise Adler speaks out about the influence of the Zionist lobby and the broader spectrum of Jewish opinion that’s often overlooked. Finally, we discuss a recent incident where a peaceful protester in Sydney, holding a watermelon sign—symbolizing Palestinian resistance—was removed by police during an event with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. This raises questions about Albanese’s transformation from a young, left-leaning activist who once stood with Palestine, to a Prime Minister seemingly distanced from his roots. Has he forgotten where he came from, or is this just the reality of political power?
