It's not as easy as just going out in the streets and saying we're sick of this guy.

I just think there's a certain naivete to asking people to put their own lives at risk to do something that may not even be possible.

It's so horrible.

It was, as you mentioned, a girls' elementary school.

It was in southern Iran.

Apparently it was next to, I guess, a strategic site.

The New York Times and the BBC have verified video that shows that there was a strike there

and that there were many people who were killed, including students at the school.

Israel has said that this was not part of their campaign or did not appear to be part of their campaign.

The US has assured us that they're looking into it.

Yeah, it's a really good question.

I was really struck by this personally, because I was watching the world leader reactions for my other job over the weekend.

And I noticed that it was just Albo and Mark Carney of Canada amongst this kind of Western group of nations who said, yep, we support you.

This seems like a good thing, as you mentioned earlier.

Keir Starmer distanced himself.

He, in fact, reportedly didn't even let the US use British bases to help launch their attacks, which felt quite pointed coming from a very close friend of the US, like the UK.

The European leaders were very, we don't know her about the whole thing.

And I was wondering whether part of the reason why Albo came out in support was because you might remember that in 2024, Australian authorities concluded that the Revolutionary Guard had been behind at least two anti-Semitic arson attacks on Jewish targets.

And then remember how he responded.

He expelled Iran's ambassador, which had not happened since the Second World War.
