Albanese teaches us to resist making the visible, invisible

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

55% : Her role as the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine and the Occupied Territories has given her unique access to see the same patterns of dehumanisation and depravity being wrought upon Palestinians, while others couldn't.
53% : Beyond that, she also drew inspiration from South Africa's courageous stance of using international law to its fullest, in taking Israel to the highest court in the world on a charge of genocide.
52% : And third, she spoke with obvious pride that another distinguished South African legal luminary, Judge Navi Pillay - one of the world's foremost authorities on genocide - had headed the UN Commission on Human Rights report looking into Israel's conduct in Gaza these past two years.
46% : Albanese also reminded the audience that the UN has calculated that in the West Bank, 40,000 have been driven from their homes by marauding settlers since the war began - and that this has actually increased in severity over the past week as the olive season begins.
37% : Albanese's work is so important at this critical period, given the danger that an unchecked Israel will still be provided with Western-made arms, under cover of a hollow ceasefire, to continue its campaign of genocide.
37% : It gives context to everything; it continues to underpin the West's permissive attitude towards Israel and explain an internal guilt which drives such an attitude.
37% : The danger now is that an unchecked Israel will still be provided with Western-made arms, under cover of a hollow ceasefire, to continue its campaign of genocide with impunity, and hope that the world's cameras have moved on.
35% : Methodically documenting the evidence it had considered, the commission's conclusion was stark - that Israel was committing the gravest of all international crimes, state-sponsored genocide.
31% : As Albanese pointed out, since the formal "ceasefire" just short of two weeks ago, more than 100 Gazans have been killed by the Israel Defense Forces, including unarmed children.
