 As the war in Gaza worsens, the Israeli military continues its relentless bombing, displacing more Palestinians and raising the civilian death toll beyond 10,000. The global outrage is growing, with increasing calls for Israel to cease its attacks and halt what many are calling a process of ethnic cleansing. Some now view this as a “second Nakba,” echoing the catastrophic events of 1948 when 700,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes—a process some argue has never truly ended.
In this episode, we explore the rising international pressure on Israel to end the violence, the role of the global community in seeking a resolution, and the domestic challenges this presents, particularly in Australia. We discuss how Australian politicians such as Peter Dutton are exploiting social divisions for political gain, further inflaming tensions, while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese navigates a complex landscape of alliances and military ties with Israel.
We also highlight Dr. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Territories, who spoke at the National Press Club, calling for global accountability in Gaza and presenting a stark contrast to the more restrained approach of the Australian government. As we look into Australia’s military relationship with Israel, we question whether Australian-made military hardware is being used in Gaza and explore the moral implications of these ties.
This episode examines how the continued violence in Gaza is reshaping international dialogue, the missteps of political leaders, and the urgent need for tough, principled leadership—something that has been sorely lacking in recent years.
