A senior Labor minister says Palestinians are being collectively punished, but 'we don't see any landmarks being lit up in red, black, white and green', saying Australia must acknowledge the human toll on both Israeli and Palestinian people.
Frontbencher Ed Husic says Australia must speak up against what he calls the clear "collective punishment" of Palestinians in Gaza.Mr Husic says he believes Palestinians are being collectively punished for Hamas' barbarismThe industry and science minister said he had condemned Hamas and defended Israel's right to defend itself, but that he believed a humanitarian catastrophe was unfolding in Gaza.
Yesterday Israel and Hamas traded blame for a blast at a hospital in Gaza that reportedly killed hundreds of people. "It has been remarked that what happened on October 7 was Israel's equivalent of 9/11. The number of Palestinians who have been killed so far equates to the number of people who lost their lives in 9/11," he said.There are people who would be very uncomfortable with me making that remark, but it goes to the heart of what Palestinians and those who care for them in Australia … this goes to heart of what they think, which is Palestinian lives are considered lesser than.
