It follows after Ms Wong announced Labor would reverse Australia’s recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

“It’s out of character with the responsible foreign policy they have exhibited until now,” Mr Danby told Sky News host Peta Credlin.Read More

She is correct, Israel has nil historic claim on Palestine and should not be there.

No what was unprofessional was trying to win Wentworth votes and following tRump

Michael Danby, the former President of the Austalasian Union of Jewish Students? Michael Danby the former editor or The Australia/Israel Review? Michael Danby who was quoted as saying 'I am a strong supporter of Israel' That Michael Danby?

By reverting to the bipartisan position? Morrison was the anomaly, and what a mess he left. AusPol

Who?

Well, I guess he’s speaking from experience. The LNP, for the last decade or two, have excelled at unprofessionalism

Well said Penny, well done Labor. How would Australians like it if the United Nations decided Australia was to be given to Holland one day, or Canada back to the French, because that's what they did to the Palestinian people in the middle east in 1948.

except, Labor has a mandate. they took it to an election and won in a landslide

Danby has no business spilling his bile at the Sky septic Tank.

Crp again from Sky News.

And just going to block sky crap...waste of time even glancing at the thread

That is why he is a former minster he was never a true believer just an imposter no true labor would talk such crap. useless piece of crap

Penelope Wong is a bigot. She is also a hypocrite and only speaks for her own personal agenda.

When considering Danbys comments it should be be remembered that he is of the Jewish faith.

Didn’t talk to Israel government Didn’t tell anyone it was happening Changed their website before the announcement Announced it on a Jewish holiday so they couldn’t comment

UN agrees with Labor.

Yes 'former'

Is that real news, or did you hear it on Sky News?

Nah it was hella based as fuck Inshallah she declares Jerusalem the capital of Palestine next

Former members should remain former…..

Sky News pitting and dividing Labor MPs against each other. Who would have thought it?

The ALP would prefer to side with a dictatorial government run by a terrorist organisation.

What else would you expect from a commie Labour government

And the previous governments decision was reprehensible.

Oh no Australia is facing a cost of living criss, floods, a potential long hot summer, but this is prime time news

Garbage.

That’s why he is a “former “

Murdochs' SKY uses the least flattering image it can of Penny Wong & spouts absolute nonsense as always

It was literally a campaign promise but ok wingnuts

Gee that puts Australia at odds with Donald Trump… Who’d of thought…

There are 90 embassies in Israel, 86 are located in Tel Aviv and 4 are located in Jerusalem. So....?

'Former' this! 'Former' that!! Irrelevant twaddle.

Skynews is the totally unprofessional thing. MurdochGutterMedia MurdochRoyalCommission

Danby calling someone else unprofessional is the larf I need today.

Maybe, but it’s the right one.

Why we want to listen to Mr 'I need $20000 to print a couple of flyers' Danby. Michael Danby at least proves that ICAC shouldn't be a partisan issue

Thank you, MichaelDanbyMP, for calling out this woman's arrogance.

Any overturned decision that was based on a politically motivated Trump move is a great decision.

You’re not journalists? Your boss says so?

Australians are so happy with this decision! PENNY WONG SPEAKS FOR US! Not you

Not only unprofessional but she’s Anti Semitic as well. She doesn’t represent everyone’s thought and ideas. But she does secretly support HAMAS. What’s to say she doesn’t support China secretly as we all know Albanese & Andrews loves all things Chinese. 😠🇮🇱🇮🇱

Digging up Danby. Best to just leave him be.

There is a good reason why he is now 'former MP'

She better work instead criticisise other country's on here Captal city choices

Israel is always taking unilateral land grabs on the West bank Imagine if WA is partitioned n dotted by sections for Jewish only settlers It would be outrageous

She is a joke

Funny I thought it was the right thing to do not interfere in other countries affairs but I guess Sky News are never wrong! (Sarcasm)

Diplomatic missions in Israel are foreign embassies and consulates in Israel. There are currently 90 embassies in Israel, of which 86 embassies are located in Tel Aviv and the Tel Aviv District, and four are located in Jerusalem.

It was Labor policy taken to the election. Trumper Danby is no longer a member of Parliament, so what's the point of him?

So Morrison doing a Trump was very professional? I think the US are now the only country that recognises Jerusalem as the capital.

Ya doubt it

As usual, Sky in the Dark only has room for half a story. Declare your interest Danby. Declare the background Sky.

She's an embarrassment 😔

Danby, a member of the Henry Jackson Society.

Michael Danby was my local member and pathetic

Following through on a promise made by the ALP is totally professional unlike the the lnpFail who never delivered on their promises!

I suppose Danby supports the Israelis’ sustained massacring of women and children.

Some people complain about anything. This has been long term Labor policy, no one is in the least bit surprised.

So when would be the appropriate time / do tell.

Who cares?

Oy vey! Oy vey! The end is nigh! Lots of yamakas spinning out of control today

MurdochGutterMedia 🐂💩

Seriously she is nothing but a bully along with Katy Gallagher and Kristina Keneally needs to be sacked for their treatment of the late Kimberley Kitching 😳

Our resident QUEEN..HRH Penny PONG. cant get the JEWS to BOW. Now everyone knows that is no way to treat QUEEN PONG...you either bow and call her your royal Highness or you take the highway

Former

Who?

'Completely unprofessional' means what?

So must have been right then. 🤷🏻‍♀️

TruthdriverOn And she announced it on a Jewish holiday!!! 🤦‍♀️

Who gives a fuck what Danny says?

Morrison did it for votes and to please trump

Wong is about as sharp as a bowling ball...just a Palestinian terrorists supporter

there is a saying down Luggage Point way: the terds will always rise to the top of the sewerage cesspool. same with the labor Party- the terds will always surface after a while

Who? FORMER

Another Mark Latham in the oven,they blame labour because they weren’t good enough,it’s always somebody else’s fault and of course Murdoch takes them under his wing and works them into a sweat

From Peta Creditless. Really scraping the bottom of the horse stall for comment.

And of course Scott Morrisons ‘recognition’ was not

It shouldn’t of been recognised in the first place 🤷🏻‍♂️

I never used to like Penny, think I listened to the media but of late seeing what she has achieved I'm seeing the next Pm she has bigger gonads than Albo the union puppet.

Disgusting SenatorWong!

Pretty sure majority agree with this decision even conservative people. Bad decision taking this article on.

Sky News the channel of the undead.

It is good policy and they went to the election with it

What was unprofessional was to vote for it in the decision in the first place a Morrison political self-interest wrong move

It's the Chinese way of of thinking you can't change that

Unprofessional? What else did you expect from Labor? We are being lead by a group of infantile amateurs

Labor obviously happy to be a one term government…

It's ok, Benny Wong only speaks for herself, not all Australians

Question: If many Australians don't want us involved in Taiwan, then why should we get involved with Israel? Maybe I just don't understand the politics of the situation? And I would accept that. Maybe Penny Wong can't help herself? Someone else may have all the answers. 🙄😎

Danby is an Israel firster

MurdochGutterMedia

Labor supporting terrorism

What a clown- we dont recognise any of it as anything other than a war zone….if they havent decided yet- we sure AF have not either….take some more power u dont have, penny and let us all bandaid that up for u..

christo10695010 Wong is Wong on everything

October 2022, Still no inquiry into Labor Bulling?

Why is she Orange? She tryna replicate Trump there?

It was ScoMo who was unprofessional. Followed unprofessional decision of Donald Trump. :D Good on you, Penny.

Who cares what that toady thinks?

disagree, it's professional, the unprofessional thing was for Morrison to arbitrarily attempt to change Aust's policy re two-state solution

It was the RIGHT DECISION. The previous PM was just aligning himself with Trump. Maybe he was after “Morrison Heights”?

am totally disgusted and livid with this decision by Labor and hope this will wake up many others to realize the extent of the mistake they made when voting.

Note Danby is a 'former' MP

Who is this Wong bloke anyway and why is he in my Twitter feed? 🤣

Who is she a Chinese ambassador?

are we anti semetic now?

Ohhhh SenatorWong unprofessional Who would have thunked it. Another Labor politician out of her depth. No way is this woman a leader.

Should wouldn't of had to get involved if liberals stayed out of it

Assange Penny?

Sky how long did you have ring around to find someone to disagree with Wong. Danby a no-name from the depths of ALP past. Sky keep trying.

US may not like this. Truss was pulled into line in UK. Will Wong go the same way?

A wonderful move. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

God Blesses those that Bless Israel, watch Australia slide further into decay

vishnu_yeah Then again is ANYTHING Petty Wrong and the ALP do “professional”?

Former Labor MP Michael Danby is “completely unprofessional”.

Balanced act by dfat SenatorWong to hold recognition of W. Jerusalem as zionist apartheid regime capital. Until & unless internationally agreed borders are drawn b/w israelis & Palestinians, final status of Jerusalem should remain on hold. 2 state solution is the best outcome.

Penny Wong confirms Australia will drop ‘cynical’ recognition of West Jerusalem as capital of IsraelForeign affairs minister says long-standing position is that status of Jerusalem must be resolved between Israel and Palestinians Someone will get Goughed or Rudded About time. How can Australians be so opposed to the Russian occupation of Ukraine yet support the Jewish occupation and apartheid of Palestine? Thousands of years ago Jerusalem was the capitol of Israel. Today Jerusalem is the capitol of Israel and will be long after Penny Wong is gone - whether she recognizes it or not. Wong also doubled our taxpayer money given to UNRWA whose syllabus teaches Palestinian children hate.
