David Pocock urges Australia to cut all military ties with Israel David Pocock outlines what he sees as Australia’s responsibilities: We should be looking at targeted sanctions against members of the Israeli government and the Israeli Defence Force - they simply cannot be allowed to continue operating with impunity and disregarding the ICC and international community. We must also cut all military ties with Israel. Just this year, an Australian army contract worth $917 million was awarded to Elbit Systems to work on new Infantry Fighting Vehicles being constructed in Victoria. Australia continues to export ‘dual use’ items to Israel that can be used for military purposes - and we still don’t know what these dual use items are. What we do know is that parts made in Australia are being used to kill kids. Weapons manufacturer Lockheed Martin has said that every F-35 built contains some Australian parts and components. These are the planes Israel uses to bomb Gaza. This has to end. Our government has been speaking out against the actions of Israel, but they are still holding back. They need to stop holding back and start pulling out all the stops. If they don’t, history will judge us. Future generations will look back and ask why we didn’t do more - and act more quickly - to stop this mass killing of civilians.
