What a Payne!

While wetting herself over the failure of Trump's anti-Hamas stunt to pass muster in the UNGA on December 6 ("egregious and ongoing violent acts of the terrorist organisation Hamas"), and mere days after Australia voted with USrael, Liberia, Marshall Islands, and Nauru against the following UNGA resolution in favour of a two-state solution ("a comprehensive, just and lasting peace based on relevant UN resolutions... an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967... unwavering support for the two-State solution based on the pre-1967 borders"), Morrison foreign minister Marise Payne declared that "Australia supports a two-state solution that allows Israel and a future Palestinian state to exist side-by-side, in peace and security, within internationally recognised borders." (Payne's swipe at UN over Hamas, Simon Benson, The Australian, 8/12/18)

Go figure.

Easy to figure MERC. Politicians, like Payne, speak with both sides of their mouths. When pressed they mouth the 'two state ...' mantra. It's convenient shorthand for 'let status quo prevail' while the slow ethnic cleansing continues.

Zionists never support 'status quo ante-bellum' or a just solution.

However they do know right from wrong, they make calculated moral judgements, based on self interest not national interest. Perhaps, in the case of Morrison, judgements are based on weird biblical heresies and interpretations?
