No Senator Wong the legality isn't a matter for the US and Israel to determine, it is the responsibility of the international community to speak up when blatant disregard for international law takes place. So it is absolutely a question for Australia to be addressing unless you support aggression
Maybe this is too international law of me, but you can’t liberate women by slaughtering school girls.

Ben Saul and Don Rothwell said it better than I could.
