1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: First up, though, we're going to have to talk about Garza. Now,

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: don't turn off your radio. You don't need to turn

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: it off. I'm not going to be graphic and I'm

4
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: not going to talk about what's happening there in detail.

5
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: You already know. You can choose to read about it yourself,

6
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: and I recommend that you do, just to the point

7
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: that you can kind of handle it. Credit today to

8
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Anthony Albernezi, the Prime Minister of Australia. He has stopped

9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: pussly footing around what's going on here. He's just put

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: out a strongly worded statement this afternoon's demanding that Israel

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: stops starving children to death and let in more aid.

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: He says, we call on Israel to comply immediately with

13
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: its obligations under international law. Now that is a shed

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: load better than the waffly joint statement we signed up

15
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,919
Speaker 1: earlier this week. We need to get a spine on this,

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: don't we. Our joint statement didn't even mention the word

17
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: starvation or starving or any variation on that word. It

18
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: is watered down to the point of having absolutely no impact.

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: And that is what it had. No impact. Now, I

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: am not naive enough to think that New Zealand telling

21
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Israel off is going to change anything. But we've got

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: to do something. And if all we've got to gods words,

23
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: then we're going to have to use them. Because maybe

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I am naive enough to believe that if enough world

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: leaders call out Israel and name what is going on

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: and don't pussy foot around it, and call the deliberate

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: starvation for what it is, and if enough world leaders

28
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: say you have got to stop this now, and if

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: enough leaders then in act sanctions on Israel, then surely

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: Trump cannot ignore it anymore. And Trump is the key here,

31
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: He's the one we have to convince. Now. I know

32
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: that Israel still has hostages in those tunnels, and as

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: I said earlier this week, I mus must release them

34
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: for this water end. There is no other way. But

35
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: let me put this to you in very very stark numbers.

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: Ten hostages is not worth even one of those children's lives.

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: You do not starve a child to death to get

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: ten hostages out. They are children. Now, as I say,

39
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that we are watching this happen, and

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: that we are letting this happen. For more from Heather
