The federal government will harden its language on the Palestinian territories, with Labor to begin officially referring to Israel’s settlements in the West Bank as “illegal” and the territories as “occupied”.

"Hardening" is a euphemism for 'acknowledging International law'.

idk if i would call it a euphemism
more like the opposite i guess. i think that "hardening" sounds worse than "acknowledging international law"
also: can i just say that i love the unfiltered suggestions of kbin and lemmy?
have no connection to Australia or New Zealand (besides wanting to visit once), but still found this on the HomePage

While not yet in line with the party's national platform or its recent conferences in so far as the demand for recognition of Palestine, this is at least a step in the correct direction from a federal parliamentary party still well to the right of its own rank and file membership

Good. Israeli West Bank Settlers are the worst kind of human. They are very loud in bad ways and extreme violent. And now they got support from current Israel government.

And now they got support from current Israel government.

Hasn't that always been the case to some degree?
