He also took a strong stand on the illegal use of Australian passports in the Dubai murder and expelled a Mossad agent (but no doubt left others in place). His replacement Gillard's only public comment during the totally disproportionate Gaza bloodbath by the IDF was "Israel has the right to defend itself". Make of it what you will.
Yes, while Israeli bombs were slaughtering a defenceless Gazan population, Gillard tells us that Israel has a right to defend itself. No mention of the right of Palestinians to defend themselves of course. Apparently they have no such right. She was the only member of the Government Ministry to say this, as far as I know.
And in February this year, amid the global condemnation of Israel's identity theft of citizens of other sovereign nations in furtherence of their covert assassination policy, what does Gillard say about Israel?
Israel is admired around the world, that's what she said:
