As Israel’s assault on Gaza City continues, Israeli aircraft and tanks have pounded the eastern and northern outskirts of the city, destroying buildings and homes.

It comes as a record number of Australians turned out this weekend in protest against the war – and as the relationship between the Australian and Israeli government worsens. 

But while Australia moves to recognise a Palestinian state, it continues its military and trade relations with Israel, supplying parts that allow planes to drop bombs on Gaza.

Today, co-founder of Declassified Australia and author of The Palestine Laboratory Antony Loewenstein discusses Australia, Israel and the difference between what we say – and what we do.
