Australian Jewish Association's strongest yet condemnation of Albanese Government

AJA statement:

The Australian Jewish Association strongly condemns the Albanese Government after it called for a ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist organisation, Hamas.

Through its actions and words, this Government has repeatedly demonstrated that it is no friend of Israel or the Australian Jewish Community. In a time of surging antisemitism, weak and cowardly leadership from the top, sends all the wrong messages.

The Albanese Government may get some praise from terrorist organisations and antisemitic groups but has made itself irrelevant internationally and will have zero impact on the war.

The Australian Jewish Association had warned before the last election of the risks associated with a Labor victory. Our worst fears have been confirmed. The Jewish community will never forget how our government abandoned us.

We note that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong still haven't bothered to visit Israel to show solidarity following the horrific massacre of October 7. We thank Opposition Foreign Affairs Spokesman, Simon Birmingham, who is currently in Israel as well as the Opposition for demonstrating true leadership at this time.

As with the Nazis or ISIS, there must not be and will not be a ceasefire with Hamas. The only options are for their total surrender or complete annihilation and the return of the over 100 kidnapped Israelis.

With a government that is so weak on foreign policy, Australians will rightly be concerned about how they would handle national security issues in our region.
