When Bobb Carr, a former Australian Foreign Minister, served his term, he described it as the most powerful lobby.<\/p>\n<p>@resist_05<\/p>\n<p>If you advocate for TRUTH &amp; JUSTICE, SHARE to spread the knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>#FreeGaza #PalestineSolidarity #GazaGenocide #UNRWA #Palestine #ICJJustice #ceasefirenow #FreePalestine #Interfaith #StandWithUs #Truth #Palestine #Gaza #Humanrights #Israel #\u0641\u0644\u0633\u0637\u064a\u0646 #\u0627\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0626\u06cc\u0644 #\u063a\u0632\u0629 #airdropaidforgaza #middleeast #FreePalestine #UNSC #Ceasefire #StandWithPalestine #theintercept #apple #humanrights #journalism #investigation #oneisraelfund<\/p>\n<p>English Script:<br \/>\nUnknown man: On page 125 in your discussion of international affairs, you have a reference.<\/p>\n<p>Gough Whitlam: Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown man: To Australia&#8217;s role in the Security Council of the United Nations during the 1973 Middle East War.<\/p>\n<p>Gough Whitlam: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Unknown man: And you say there that, Sir Lawrence McIntyre was president of the Security Council when the war broke out. And you say that political pressure and even blackmail was brought to bear on you and your government. But despite that, you gave him every support. What was the blackmail? How was it exercised? And, who was responsible for it?<\/p>\n<p>Gough Whitlam: The blackmail was exercised by some heroes in the Australian Jewish community on the other side of the world, from the hostilities that we should support Israel in the dispute between Israel and its neighbors. And, of course, my government at least pursued the expressed policy of all Australian governments to be neutral in those disputes and to take all steps available to Australia in resolving those disputes, and would have been an appalling thing for us to come down on the side of\u2026on one side at the time that an Australian was in the key position of president of the Security Council. Now, if I may enlarge on this. Since then, people in Australia should realize that there are now as many Arabs as Jews in Australia. There are as many Muslims as Jews. And we want everybody in Australia of whatever racial origin, of whatever religious persuasion to live in harmony and fruitful cooperation in this country of their adoption or their birth.<\/p>\n<div
