Australien har genom sin utrikesminister klargjort att landet inte längre kommer att betrakta judiska områden i östra Jerusalem som ockuperat område.
Dethär är i och för sig en självklarhet men de flesta stater har inte mod och klarsynthet nog för att stå upp för sanningen.
Aussie clarity (Jerusaelm Post)
"Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop announced that her country
would no longer view Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem as
“occupied” territory.
Australia’s Attorney-General George Brandis explained during a Senate
meeting that the term “occupied” was a term “freighted with pejorative
implications” which were “neither appropriate nor useful.”
As the rest of the world seemed to be losing its moral compass, the
Aussies were keeping themselves on course, pointing out the unique
nature of the territorial conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
This was not a sudden change in Australian foreign policy.
Back in January, during a visit to Israel, Bishop contested the idea
that towns and neighborhoods built in east Jerusalem or in the West Bank
were illegal under international law. “I would like to see which
international law has declared them illegal,” she said."
