I was surprised at Albanese's (Australia's Prime Minister) support of Palestine. Something didn't quite gel about it for me given his other actions. Was talking to a work mate about it and he pointed out that Albanese has supported Palestinians for 30 odd years and stuck to his guns over the situation. I'd started to wonder whether that all meant that perhaps Albanese was not on the 'payroll' and that he was just an airhead with his other political actions and beliefs. Then I listened to his UN speech on the Gaza situation and come away with the impression that he actually supports Israel but speaks about it in terms of support of Palestine. He speaks for a two state solution, but seems to think that can happen with Hamas handing over their weapons and giving back the hostages. He doesn't seem to propose any limitations on Israeli actions. In other words his solution seems to rely on Hamas and Palestinians behaving better under hostile occupation. To my mind it's not really a supportive solution for the Palestinians.
