Comments on: Netanyahu: Meet the Cabinet https://www.jwire.com.au/netanyahu-meet-the-cabinet/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Thu, 23 Feb 2017 21:52:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: david singer https://www.jwire.com.au/netanyahu-meet-the-cabinet/#comment-206653 Thu, 23 Feb 2017 21:52:10 +0000 http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=70179#comment-206653 Prime Minister Turnbull states:
“We also have a lot to discuss here on the subject of security but we also have a very substantial commitment to the counter-ISIL coalition operating in Iraq and in Syria. We are in fact the largest international contributor to that coalition after the United States. So it’s a very substantial commitment and we recognise the importance of defeating Islamist terrorism in the Middle East and indeed around the world, for the safety of all of us.”

The revelation of Australia’s contribution certainly came as a shock to me. I wonder how much this cost comes to. Is Mr Turnbull prepared to reveal the amount?

Obama’s policy of going it alone without a Security Council Resolution authorising the use of force has led to the 193 UN member States not sharing the cost and responsibilty of confronting and defeating Islamic State.

I hate to say it but Obama conned Australia and we have been apparently paying for it big time since.

Trump and Putin need to rectify this situation by jointly seeking a United Nations Security Council resolution authorising the use of force against Islamic State under Chapter V11 of the UN Charter.

Australia should proudly support such a resolution and be part of a UN force that finally degrades and destroys this blight on humanity.

The Obama strategy has been a disaster

Scott Morrison and Mathias Cormann – the savings to Australia could be massive and help to materially reduce the out of control debt now approaching $500 billion.
