Perhaps some may be serious enough to ask to visit the West Bank and see for themselves the hardship caused by many restrictions such as check-points, the wall and restricted roads. Maybe they might be able to ascertain if Nelson Mandela, Jimmy Carter and Bishop Tutu are right in their criticism of the tragedy that has befallen the Palestinian people.<br /> <br />I am completely mystified as to why the Australian Government continually cosies up to Israel and never openly speaks out against their human rights record. Is your government content to see the 43 year occupation continue to 53 years or maybe 63 years? I would love to see my government become active in the field of human rights and send a delegation to occupied Palestine to view and report on the situation there.mpsmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13633945870703441436noreply@blogger.com
