Read MoreThe past week has seen heart-breaking images of death and destruction in Gaza while our government wrings its hands impotently.
Palestinians have suffered over 70 years of racism, apartheid and unbridled brutality at the hands of the Israeli regime. That is the problem. Rockets from Gaza into Israel are a symptom response to decades of Israeli expulsions, violence, land grabbing and apartheid and yet our politicians and media more often than not portray the issue as the “terrorist group Hamas fires rockets at Israel and Israel retaliates in self-defence”. Countries like ourselves, the US, Canada, Australia and the UK typically justify Israeli brutality rather than hold Israel to account.
