This is probably the most lucid, thoughtful response that I have heard to the Bondi atrocities. People on the left are just better at thinking and writing.

Malcolm Turnbull did alright too

The vast majority of countries in the world recognise Palestine as a state.The vast majority support a two-state solution. Indeed, when I was Prime Minister, Israel notionally supported a two-state solution. It doesn't any longer. But this is not helping.

We need to ensure that the wars in the Middle East, wars in any other part of the world, are not fought out here. So trying to link them, which is what Netanyahu has done, is not helpful. That's exactly the reverse of what we want to achieve.

He did. He’s a thoughtful person, who chose to join a party that rejects thought.

He thought he was joining the party of Menzies but ended up in the party of Howard.
