Twelve nations put a price on Israel’s illegal settlements. Canberra sat at the table for months, then remembered it had a Security Council seat to win.

Twelve countries signed a statement on trade with Israeli settlements. Australia was very much part of the process. The early part.
We’re into the straight and Australia pounds against the rails, all muscle memory and destiny, everybody’s favourite, yet going nowhere. Boxed in like Tulloch. Truth, Due Diligence and Duty of Care have been scratched on veterinarians’ advice, leaving Spin, Pious Piffle and Plausible Deniability to romp home unchallenged.
The US and its allies including Australia don’t give a fig about Iranian or Palestinian lives. If they did, they wouldn’t be starving Iranians with sanctions that block medicine, food and fuel. They wouldn’t be funding insurgents who turn protests violent, ensuring the regime cracks down harder. They wouldn’t be threatening war while pretending to care about “the brave Iranian people”.
October 7 did not fall from the sky like a biblical plague. It was not spontaneous combustion. It was the predictable detonation of a pressure cooker sealed shut by decades of occupation, humiliation, and the kind of slow-motion strangulation that would make Kafka blush. Yet here we are; watching Western leaders clutch their pearls while the Israeli war machine turns Gaza into a graveyard, all under the banner of “self-defence”.
A searing indictment of Trump’s ruleless sabotage and the global drift toward normalizing tyranny. This piece calls for clarity, resistance, and the courage to name misrule for what it is—before the spectacle becomes the system.
This isn’t a peace plan. It’s a blueprint for entrenching occupation and calling it stability. For managing ethnic cleansing and calling it security. For weaponizing the very concept of peace to justify ongoing war in slow motion.
