'From the river to the sea': Labor senator breaks ranks to accuse Israel of genocide
'From the river to the sea': Labor senator breaks ranks to accuse Israel of genocide
Labor senator Fatima Payman has directly addressed Anthony Albanese in a speech criticising Israel over the war in Gaza, asking for sanctions to be imposed.
She directly addressed Albanese: "I ask our prime minister and our fellow parliamentarians, how many international rights laws must Israel break for us to say enough? What is the magic number? How many mass graves need to be uncovered before we say enough? How many images of bloody limbs of murdered children must we see?"
Payman called on her colleagues to "stand up for what is right" and said Australia should impose sanctions, engage in divestments, stop trade with Israel, and call for a permanent ceasefire.

Good on her for standing up.
