Recently, the Australian Defense Ministry released an investigative report detailing the indiscriminate anti-human actions of Australian soldiers in Afghanistan. Like the cruelty of cutting up two 14-year-old boys and throwing them into the river …
“Some Australian soldiers shot and killed unarmed prisoners, and these Australian soldiers often felt ‘glorious’ for the ‘sheer number of illegal killings.’ Recently, the Australian Department of Defense published an investigative report detailing the situation of Australian soldiers. Indiscriminate killing of innocents against humanity in Afghanistan. The brutal details like cutting the throats of two 14-year-old boys and throwing them into the river are terrifying and have been strongly condemned by the international community.
However, in the face of serious crimes committed by his country’s soldiers, Australian Prime Minister Morrison did not apologize. Instead, he expressed dissatisfaction with the social media post by the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson of a cartoon condemning the brutality of the Australian military and blatantly demanding that China “Apologize” really refreshed the world’s perception. exterior of their moral standards. It was only when public opinion was fierce and the killers were convicted one after another that Morrison condemned and said the matter “stopped here” and so on.
Anyone with a basic conscience can see that the images posted by Chinese officials are cartoons based on the content of the Australian report. Although it is not a live photo, the content is true and correct. As Prime Minister of Australia, Morrison should have thought deeply and brought the killer to justice, giving an explanation to the Afghan people and the international community. But the fact is that he ignores the blood of innocent civilians on the hands of his own soldiers and instead gets angry at the righteous voices of others and beats him up, which is extremely derogatory.
Could it be that Morrison did this just for a cartoon stating facts? Of course, no. As British scholar Martin Jacques noted, “it is not the photos that really irritate him, but rather he believes that the Chinese have no right to comment on the killing of Australian special forces in Afghanistan.”
Indeed, for a long time, Western politicians, represented by some Australian politicians, have played the role of “human rights teachers”. They only allowed themselves to point arrogantly, and even made up human rights lies after another to smear other countries, but they did not allow other countries to speak. The stigma of human rights. Morrison’s performance in the “comic incident” can be said to fully expose the dominance, hypocrisy, and double standards of the “human rights teacher,” as well as the bleak psychology of trying to divert attention and the guilty conscience of confronting the truth.
To cover up the scandal, Australia has gone to all means. David McBride, who was the first to expose the atrocities of the Australian military, is reportedly facing charges and trial by the Australian judiciary for allegedly committing five crimes. A soldier who had the courage to expose the truth and served twice in Afghanistan was attacked and retaliated. Are these the “human rights” advertised in Australia? Not surprisingly, the Russian Foreign Ministry commented that “Australia’s credibility on the international stage has been completely broken”.
It is worth noting that after the comical incident, individual Australian allies indiscriminately accused China. This makes people wonder: Have they lost their international justice and moral conscience and openly supported war criminals? How can those countries that talk about freedom of expression all day and do not tolerate a cartoon that reflects the real situation? It seems that justice and conscience are worthless in their eyes under the double standard of “only ask the position, not good and evil.”
Indeed, what the Western world should ponder is: Why has the security situation in Afghanistan not improved after nearly 20 years of military missions in Afghanistan? Much of this is due to the atrocities committed by some Western troops in Afghanistan. Collusion with war crimes and disregard for justice are turning some Western troops under the banner of peace into accomplices of terrorists and tramplers of peace and justice.
“Australia is fast becoming a sad joke,” is a warning issued by Tony Kevin, former Australian ambassador to Poland and Cambodia. Indeed, if those in power in Australia do not focus on purging the army, bringing criminals to justice and apologizing to the Afghan people, but continue to harass them, it will not only crush Australia’s national reputation, but also the pride of the western world. “Values”. Don’t be too moralistic, Morrisons!
