Australia's Got Backbones

May 30, 2018 10:42am CST
Lately, we're excited about our smart leaders. And proud of our very own Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop and Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull. They stand by 'shoulder-to-shoulder' with US President Donald Trump and with Israel. Julie Bishop braved her support for Israel in these great words: ‘The protesters should not seek to enter the Israeli territories by force. Hamas should not be instigating this kind of protest which they must know could lead to violence…’ before adding the ubiquitous but wholly unnecessary caveat that ‘…the Israelis must use proportionate measures in self-defence.’ We may be Down Under, but we are pretty much involved with what's happening in the free and MAGA country USA. Read more from The Spectator.
So it seems that somebody finally picked up that pristine copy of The Spectator Australia that is usually left untouched under a pile of well-thumbed Guardians, Sydney Morning Heralds and Monthlys…

Israel is in constant war and it's good to hear that their are western countries supporting them.

We are very thankful that Israel has the support of the world's greatest free country, USA. It's wise to follow their 'standing-with-Israel' example. :-)

It sounds like the government of Australia knows what to do. President Donald Tromp will know what to do about Israel now. I believe that Australia is a sensible and forward country.

I'm glad you said that about Australia. We're strong allies with USA and Israel. And it's a very good thing.

Conservatives and/or Judeo-Christians are celebrating with Pres. Donald Trump's uncompromising support for Israel. We're so glad to hear and read the news from The Spectator. Progressive Lefts will not cover this wonderful news.

Because who could forget the wonderful phone call that Trump and Turnbull had? That definitely cemented a wonderful warm relationship between them!

I agree with you. That was hilarious. Such creative imagination the media news cycle produced another narrative in a form of a transcript between the 2 leaders' phone conversation. I read and heard that PM Turnbull was requesting to have the (quote) 1250-2000 "boat people" be diverted into the US. Obama had promised to accept as a bad deal he was making with Mr. Turnbull. Pres. Trump declined and being Trump as he is, rebuked our PM. And said that Obama made a "very stupid deal" with Malcolm Turnbull. And many MSM media capitalized on it and forged and faked transcripts of the phone conversation floating around. I don't know how credible these news were. ??? If you're genuinely interested, here's what really went on:.
The first refugees held at Australia's offshore detention centers began their journey to the U.S. Sunday as part of deal struck last November between the Australian government and then-President Barac
