That no sanctions have even been proposed by Australia is dumbfounding given the litany of clearly unjustified acts of war inflicted upon the Palestinians. Since October 7 Netanyahu’s ‘inevitable consequences of war’ has meant:

• 203 aid workers killed of whom 95% were Palestinian (this figure is higher than the total number of aid worker fatalities that typically occur annually worldwide)
• More United Nations aid workers have been killed in Gaza than in any other single conflict in the organisation’s 78-year history
• 102 UNWRA aid workers killed and 27 others wounded
• UNRWA’s facilities have been hit over 290 times in the hostilities,
• 374 medical personnel have been killed
• 120 ambulances have been completely destroyed.
• 12 of 35 hospitals are only partially functioning
• 51 of 72 primary medical care facilities are closed.
• Hospitals and other vital medical infrastructure in Gaza and the West Bank have been attacked nearly 600 times
• 613 people have died within health facilities (of which seven were in the West Bank) and more than 770 have been injured, (WHO)
• In the West Bank, 286 attacks caused seven deaths and 52 injuries. Some 24 health facilities were affected along with 212 ambulances
• At least 95 journalists have been killed according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, in what has been the deadliest period for journalists since the NGO began tracking casualties in 1992.

The above translates to an Israeli army for which the rules of engagement are being ignored at will – an army totally out of control.
