Australian Government Silent on Israel’s Ecocide in Lebanon, Greens Senator Demands Action
June 11, 2026
Israel’s military operations in Lebanon have reportedly killed more than 3,961 people and displaced over 1 million, with entire communities devastated across the country.
Lebanese Australians have watched their families and homeland endure widespread destruction as they receive what they describe as near-total silence from the Australian government.
I ask Senator Shoebridge in this episode of Reel Talk, what this silence means? Does it reflect deeper political priorities, and a decimation of the Lebanon-Australian diplomatic relationship?
Shoebridge sheds light on the growing call for the Australian Labor Party to take stronger action, including sanctions, suspension of defence ties, and diplomatic pressure, urging the cancellation of weapons contracts and a firm diplomatic stance
He also argues that the inaction persists due to concerns over international political pressure and personal relationship with corporations.
