Letter to the Editor
The tragedy of Palestine
I, of course, endorse Jafar Ramini’s thoughtful article written with great sorrow and passion. Occupied Palestine is, of course, the 51st state of America with all the support and benefits available to other US states, So we will not get any positive reaction to the mayhem currently facing the israeli government: it is a great pity though that this supposedly liberated and free thinking Government in Australia continues to support and recognise the rogue state called israel and refusing to honour an election promise to recognise the State of Palestine. We, like America, pander to the Jewish lobby in our respective countries and I ask why are we so gormless?
