Letter
With apologies for the language
What an astonishing admission. Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir seems to gloat in the fact that upon entering the cage of a Palestinian prisoner, that prisoner pisses himself in fear. We have all met men like that, men who revel in the fear of others. It is always an ugly experience. Now he is proposing an Alligator Alcatraz with Nile crocodiles instead of Florida alligators to guard the perimeters of his Israeli prison.
Our Foreign Minister recently expressed her tendency to believe the women returning from the latest Gaza flotilla when they spoke of the abuse they suffered at the hands of their Israeli captors. Would that tendency to believe extend to the stories told by the Palestinian women held captive in Israeli cages? It’s not just men who can and do piss themselves in fear, you know.
Does our PM and his government not realise that ignoring these actions on top of ignoring the genocide being carried out daily in Gaza and the West Bank will earn them a place in Australian history as the government that chose to first carry water for the Zionists, and only then to listen to the Australians who elected them?
