Regarding Palestine, their indifference and cowardice still runs deep.ĭirect observations and accumulated evidence should convince every Australian citizen to judge Israeli policies towards Palestinians discriminatory and cruelly abusive. Israeli police attacked mourners at her funeral, but such brutalities make little impression on the Australian establishment. An Israeli sniper murdered the distinguished Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
