Recent issues surrounding ISIS brides, IDF returnees and Gaza activists in the global flotilla exemplify our government’s erosion of its responsibilities to Australians.
Meekness or compliance? Taking the easy (more comfortable) way out?
This has turned into more than just ‘doing the bare minimum’: The way our laws are being affected and freedom of speech curtailed, the way some voices are encouraged to express grievance while others are suppressed is a cause for alarm when these changes are being instigated by a foreign country.
Countries like Spain have managed to stand up and say they will not collude despite having a US base on their soil and Trump’s threats to cut trade with them. As far as I know, Trump has not followed through. If more nations did the same we’d have a different scenario. Trump is no longer popular in his own country but I think the international community might be waiting for the mid-term elections. I believe this to be not only meek but cowardly. Thousands of people are being slaughtered.
