Shoebridge said Australia should cancel Israeli arms contracts, in order to exert maximum pressure.

“Cancelling more than $1bn in Israeli arms contracts, that would not only respond to the moral situation of the appalling Israeli military attacks, it would also have the benefit of putting a very real material pressure on Israel to pull back from what is a disastrous, illegal, immoral war in Lebanon that is threatening the entire globe’s peace,” he said.

The federal government is monitoring the situation in Lebanon, where thousands of Australian citizens live and visit.

And can you believe on the same day David Shoebridge made the statement Tony Abbott would say Australia should send troops to fight alongside US, which is like saying fighting alongside Israel?!
