Rights and liberties

February 26, 2026

Stella Yee's article is very good. However, it has the same fault as nearly all media interest in this subject and Gaza, Palestine, the West Bank, and Israel. Anyone reading or watching the usual pieces could be forgiven for believing that these trouble started on 7 October 2023, or with the Bondi outrage.

It started almost 100 years ago when Zionist terrorist gangs fought against the British Mandate for Palestine, and terrorised the Palestinians living there since before the Romans evicted most of the Jewish population around AD70.

In 1947, following the Balfour Declaration of 1915 proposing a home for Jews in Palestine, the UN proposed a two state solution. In 1948 the Zionist Gang leaders declared unilateral independence; they could have an Israeli State immediately, and prevent a Palestinian State ever existing. This is still their policy as the statements of Netanyahu, Herzog, Motrich, and Ben Gvir make plain.

Ben Gurion, Shamir and Begin were those leaders. They became PMs of Israel.

For 90 years Palestinians have been ill-treated, murdered, imprisoned, starved, and forced to live in what amounts to a concentration camp. It is a kind of Holocaust.

Stella Yee needs to put the record straight.
