America is bad if you don't have any health insurance or lots of money in your credit card hospitals will not treat you and they'll show you the front door.

Trump trashed America's Medicaid providing health care to the less well off. Seems nowadays in the US most can't afford the very high costs of Medicines, Medical or Dental care so they go without.
It annoys them that our Australia has far superior Health care, especially our PBS subsidies. Also our social welfare net.

Netanyahu got annoyed with Australia's decision to support a two state solution in Palestine following France, Canada, the UK and scores of other nations doing so.

Bibi Netandyahoo loves to bite back with the most absurd and rediculous comments. He attacked Australia with his stupid and lying rhetoric, even saying that Australia would do like him in a similar position.
Wrong! Don't ascribe your barbarous and genocidal leanings to us. P1ss off Duckhead! You're the real Devil!
Even denying the Famine in Gaza .... blah, blah, blah, .... Lies not worth listening to.
He's the one leading Israel down a rabbit hole to become a reviled and barbaric culture, as seen by the whole world.
Shame, shame, shame ...!

People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks!

Thomas tells me it is Germany that is throwing the rocks.

Gotta hand it to Albo for showing some balls and declaring Australia backing of a Palestinian State along with our closest allies. I already despised Netanyahu with a passion now more after his vile response to our announcement, he and our own Jewish lobby.

I think Albo's timing is good following in the wake of Canada, UK and France to recognise the State of Palestine. The two state solution Netanyahu says is rediculous, absurd, going down a rabbit hole of delusion ... blah, blah, blah ...

Albo says the two state solution is the best option, from many bad ones I reckon. It'll be declared formally next month at a UN get together.
Even so it'd still be very difficult to bring about peace in Palestine/the Middle East as the legacy of Netanyahu's barbarous acts will echo down generations of Palestinians, and other neighboring states. Like it still does in my once Ulster still revelling or sullen about the 1690 battle of the Boyne. So sad.

Thinking how Trump might react negatively to Australia's declaration, like doubling tariffs as he did with Canada, I listened to an ABC podcast saying how that might be unlikely with Trump seeing those awful pictures of starving Palestinian little children. He's got feelings! He joins the huge global sentiment against the obvious and cruel genocide in Gaza. Machine gunning many trying to reach inadequate provisions, ... That's so incredibly evil! Especially from a state that should know better given its own past sufferings. Such historical hypocrisy bleating as they have for 80 years is losing currency with many.
