Dear Mr Ambassador,
The recent article published by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), titled “Australia, UK, France and other nations call for immediate end to war in Gaza“i, dated 22 July 2025, has prompted this letter as a gesture of reassurance to His Excellency and the people of Israel. We wish to convey that not all Australians share the views expressed by this nation’s elected representatives. On the contrary, we believe that many citizens of this country would feel both disheartened and embarrassed by Australia’s endorsement of the joint statement referenced in the aforementioned article.
The statement, as we see it, reflects a profound ignorance of the situation on the ground in Gaza. Moreover, it cites few, if any, corroborated sources to substantiate the claims made by Hamas regarding the number of civilian deaths resulting from Israel’s justified military operations.
The following points are offered in response to this misunderstanding:
In contemporary discourse, there is often a misplaced confidence in the precision of modern warfare — a belief that surgical strikes and advanced targeting technologies can isolate combatants while sparing civilians. While modern weaponry is indeed more accurate than the indiscriminate bombing raids of past conflicts, such as those in World War II, the reality on the ground tells a different story, particularly in the context of urban warfare. Cities are dense, complex environments where military targets are often embedded within civilian populations. Hence, Hamas’ repeated use of human shields in schools, hospitals, mosques and the like,ii often used in tandem as repositories for weapons. Explosive weapons — regardless of how “smart” they may be — are inherently blunt instruments. Their destructive effects radiate beyond intended targets, and their use in populated areas almost guarantees unintended casualties.
Collateral damage, then, is not merely a tragic possibility but an inevitable consequence of armed conflict. Innocent civilians — including women, children, and the elderly — are frequently caught in the crossfire due to a range of factors: the indiscriminate nature of military-grade explosives, equipment malfunction, human miscalculation, flawed intelligence, and failures in command and control. Cultural misunderstandings and asymmetric warfare further complicate targeting decisions. While the laws of armed conflict seek to limit civilian harm, the very design and purpose of weapons — to incapacitate and destroy — make complete precision impossible. In war, the line between combatant and non-combatant is often blurred not by intent, but by the unforgiving realities of the battlefield.
Regrettably, mainstream media is not a neutral observer. Rather than prioritising factual accuracy, media organisations frequently shape narratives to align with their editorial positions and ideological leanings. This tendency contributes to widespread misperceptions of complex conflicts. Moreover, the reporting of corrupt global mainstream media, including our aforementioned public broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)iii and the New York Times,iv seems to disturbingly mirror Article 15 of the Hamas Charter:
“The indoctrination campaign must involve ulama, educators, teachers and information and media experts, as well as all intellectuals, especially the young people and the sheikhs of Islamic movements.”v
In this environment, groupthink has become a powerful and dangerous force — particularly when unverified claims or emotionally charged imagery, often AI generated,vi are disseminated as fact.vii All too often, a single-source allegation is echoed globally before it has been critically assessed. This phenomenon affects not only public opinion but also the highest levels of political leadership. Under pressure to appear morally resolute and decisive, heads of state may act hastily — issuing condemnations, joining coalitions, or abandoning long-standing diplomatic relationships — often without the due diligence such decisions warrant.
One tragic case in point being the murder in May of this year of two of your Washington DC embassy staffers; Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, themselves a young couple soon to be engaged, by the leftist radical Elias Rodriguez, he in turn enraged by toxic groupthink disseminating the fake narrative of 14,000 Gazan babies facing eminent death.viii Moreover, one of us was mailed correspondence by the NGO Actionaid Australia,ix attempting to solicit funding, using this said untruth, compelling the writing of a very lengthy and terse reply, demanding for one thing, how they obtained personal details.x
Such performative responses, as demonstrated by our own leaders — in particular Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Foreign Minister Penny Wong — prioritises optics over substance. Actions taken to project virtue or resolve may ultimately undermine truth, justice, and long-term strategic interests. When policy is shaped by headlines rather than facts, the consequences are profound: diminished credibility, unnecessary diplomatic strain, and the erosion of principled alliances. In such an environment, propaganda thrives, nuance disappears, and governance becomes reactionary rather than responsible. The need for sober, independent analysis has never been greater, yet it is increasingly lost in a sea of politicised noise.
Astounding Rhetoric
When the EU Commissioner issues a statement (ABC News, 22 July 2025) claiming that: “The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. The Israeli government’s aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity”xi — one is struck by the glaring absence of any reference to the human dignity of over 1,200 Israeli civilians brutally murdered by Hamas, or the hostages who continue to be held.
The same article quotes the United Nations accusing Israel of committing a “flagrant breach of international law” and “critically undermining the two-state solution.” These are sweeping and deeply contentious claims that ignore fundamental legal and moral principles. Where is the UN’s voice when it comes to:
-
The taking of civilian hostages? (Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions expressly prohibits this.)
-
The use of civilian infrastructure for military purposes? (Article 51(7) of Additional Protocol I prohibits the use of civilians or civilian objects to shield military targets.)
-
Combatants disguising themselves as civilians? (The requirement for combatants to wear a uniform or a fixed, distinctive sign recognisable at a distance is laid out in Article 44(3) of Additional Protocol I.)
Furthermore, the United Nations would do well to familiarise itself with the broader history of the Middle East before issuing pronouncements on the so-called “two-state solution,” particularly when one of the parties — Hamas — remains explicitly committed to the destruction of Israel, as stated in its 1988 charter, which includes the Hadith of Sahir Muslim,xii calling for the endtime annihilation of Jews.xiii Hence, little wonder there have been multiple failures of such two-state solutions since 1948 [Top of page 6], and the failure in 1937 of the Peel Commission proposal during the British Mandate.xiv
Moreover, the notion of the UN as a fair broker of peace, is gravely questionable when one considers that the nefarious UN agency of UNRWA has indoctrinated Palestinian children to hate Jews,xv [Search for “UNRWA”] and to glorify their twisted so-called notion of martyrdom, embodying suicide to facilitate mass-murder of Jews, as the ultimate act to ensure their passage to their eternal brothel-paradise of virgins. [eg: Quran 4:57 – referring to “purified wives” plural for what is determined as “good deeds” – eg; October 7th.] Hence, the goal of the Palestinians to ultimately come to love their children more than they hate the Jews, is generations distant at best.xvi
Foreign Minister Wong’s statement that: “Australia has consistently been part of the international call on Israel to allow a full and immediate resumption of aid to Gaza, in line with the binding orders of the International Court of Justice” is yet another example of wilful blindness. The proverbial elephant in the room is ignored: any meaningful path to peace must begin with the release of hostages. Co-signatory nations would do far more good by directing their diplomatic energy toward pressuring Hamas to take that essential first step. Moreover, the silence of our Federal government and corrupt mainstream media over the Syrian Jihadist regime’s ongoing genocide of the Druze, and Israel’s attempts to mitigate it, is as deafening in magnitude as their rank narrative-driven hypocrisy.
Please be assured that not all Australians are aligned with the views or positions of the current government under Prime Minister Albanese, himself steeped in a deep 40-year relationship with Australian Communism,xvii as documented by Trevor Loudon. In the most recent federal election, the Australian Electoral Commission recorded approximately 15.49 million primary votes, of which the Australian Labor Party received just 5.35 million first-preference votes. Moreover, while the election was considered a landslide victory of Albanese’s Labor Party, the vanquished Liberal National Party still received 4.93 million first preference votes – just 2.74% less than Labor.xviii While the Prime Minister speaks on behalf of the nation in a representative democracy, this does not necessarily reflect the full diversity of public opinion.
We, the undersigned, hold a markedly different view — one of solidarity with the State of Israel and the courageous Israeli people. We regard Israel as a beacon of moral integrity and ethical leadership, and we affirm the profound and enduring contributions of the Jewish people to humanity.
Moreover, the world is undeniably richer for their presence, achievements, and values. Yet, at the same time, the disproportionate success of the Jewish people in nearly every sphere imaginable, has spawned toxic and abject jealousy and envy as elucidated by the great Black American Historian; Thomas Sowell. [Perhaps if you failed more, the world would love you??!!]
In short, down through the millennia, you have been the canary in the coal mine, as rising anti-Semitism has always proved indicative of societies and civilisations in crisis. And today, right now, this is every bit as so for a Western civilisation in chronic decline, that unlike your heroic nation, has seemingly lost the will to preserve its existence in the midst of the Red-Green Axis ideological onslaught on its values and institutions embodied in toxic Cultural neo-Marxist WOKEISM and radical Islam.xix
Thus, in conclusion, we wish you well and may God continue to help the Biblical homeland of Israel, the bastion of Judeo-Christian Western civilisation in the Middle-East, in fighting the dark forces of the world.
Yours sincerely,
Vincent Noviello
