People of Gaza should not face ‘mass punishment’, Labor MP says More on Julian Hill, the Labor MP who told federal parliament last night that the “overwhelming message” from his electorate in south-east Melbourne was that it was not “proportionate” that Gaza’s 2 million people should be punished en masse for the attacks on Israel by Hamas. Hill said last night that condemning Hamas as “a vile terrorist group in no way diminishes support for Palestinian statehood and a just settlement”.
Israel had an inherent right to self-defence, he said, but “it should not be controversial to state that right is not unfettered, and does not and cannot justify any action or the indiscriminate mass killing of innocent Palestinians in response”.
