I would argue that people's heightened interest in this situation doesn't stem from the fact that the aid workers are foreigners, but rather because it starkly exposes the indiscriminate nature of Israel's bombings in Gaza. Unlike scenarios such as friendly fire, this incident involved a charity that had previously provided aid to Israelis and was operating with transparency, in full communication with the IDF, and in clearly mark vehicles in a de-conflicted zone. Yet, they were mercilessly targeted one after the other, leaving survivors of each vehicle to endure unimaginable suffering. This incident underscores not only the lack of discipline and leadership within the IDF but also the lax rules of engagement they choose to apply to the conflict. In light of this, I advocate for concrete actions from my Australian government, such as imposing sanctions, halting all exports to Israel, banning imports from Israel, and revoking dual citizenships with Israel.

It doesn’t matter if you were a supporter of Israel you would have to be blind not to be appalled at the conduct they have shown during this conflict and the more you look the more you are horrified by the human rights violations over the last 50 years so many crimes without consequences and we are now at this point where they are being held accountable and they can’t understand it,no one really cared in the past but now they’re being branded as a apartheid regime who has no problem stealing land, oppressing, people ignoring human rights incarcerating civilians without charge for years. All these things are daily life for Palestinians. And the blatant manipulation of politicians by political lobbyist and the large amount of funds, they like to donate to Gaana, political favour all the signs of corruption at the highest level.
