Details of defence deal with Israel kept under wraps to protect Australia's 'reputation'

Anthony Albanese has damned himself on several counts:
- Albo turned his back on Australian Zomi Frankcom and with six other humanitarian workers who were murdered by Israel in Gaza.
- Albo is failing to take a principled stand against the genocide Israel is committing in Palestine.
- Albo has shown he's more afraid of false accusations of antisemitism (in the style of the mud slung at Jeremy Corbyn) than he is of doing the right thing.
- Albo is beholden to Military–industrial complex, and doesn't want to hurt the export of Australian arms to Israel.
- Albo knows Australian arms exports are being used under Benjamin Netanyahu's orders to commit crimes against humanity, and he's not doing anything to halt our involvement.
- Anthony Albanese is complicit in the war crimes of Israel, and he's been referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for it, yet he's continuing to show a lack of regard for the ICC.
