MP’s message to Israeli Australians considering fighting for IDF
Labor MP Ed Husic has called on his government to urge Israeli Australians against accepting a call up to fight in the Israeli Defense Forces, saying: “We should be sending a clear message: ‘Please don’t join'”.
Husic pointed to the International Court of Justice’s ruling that it’s plausible Israel’s acts in Gaza could amount to genocide and he said the government should consider a ban on Australians participating in foreign forces in instances where genocide may be committed.
