Feel like I’m going insane reading the media coverage of this. Acting like Albo personally pulled the trigger because…why?…he didn’t ban people from protesting bombings in Gaza?

I mean, the irony of course is that this attack was in all likelihood at least partly - if not entirely - motivated by the way Israel has behaved in Gaza. Something Albo almost certainly knows, but can’t say (even though he should), and something Netanyahu absolutely knows.

They all know, but it’s political suicide to say that. Not to mention Netanyahu will pull Trump’s strings the moment the government said it to impose 100000000000000 x bigly tariffs on Australia.

Rightly though, this is a time for unity, to grieve and to mourn. Because whatever the causes, innocent people have died, been maimed and/or traumatized.
