| Aussie Foreign Minister Julie Bishop |
The
Sydney Morning Herald (like its Fairfax stablemate, the Melbourne
Age, not a newspaper highly supportive of Israel)
reports inter alia:
'The Abbott government has swung its support further behind Israel at
the expense of Palestine, giving tacit approval to controversial
activities including the expansion of Jewish settlements in the occupied
territories.
Acting on instructions from Foreign Affairs Minister Julie
Bishop, government representatives at the United Nations have withdrawn
Australia's support for an order to stop ''all Israeli settlement
activities in all of the occupied territories''....
Former foreign affairs minister Bob Carr described
Australia's withdrawal of support for Palestine as ''a shame, in the
deepest sense''...'
