For me the questions is:
why did out government suspend aid before the allegations had been investigated?
The source of the allegations is notoriously unreliable. 🤔 Actually, "unreliable" is too charitable.

What influenced our government?

I suspect influences, both external and internal. How can we disentangle ourselves?

Israel, via the US and Australia's own collaborators. On both, we need to keep close eyes. The latter, closer than the former.

Australia has delusions of power, which it maintains by association with the US. Before that, we were tied to Britain.

To paraphrase Donald Horne; Australia is a lucky country, run by mediocrities. I doubt we'll ever have a government with the integrity to stand up for principles.

The best I can hope for is a severing of ties with Israel. Perhaps declaring Zionism a terrorist ideology. Maybe even recognition of Palestinians as people, if not of Palestine as a state.
