Nine facts on Gaza you won’t hear from the Greens
Shalom Kiwi points out a few facts as a Green MP is about to fly to the Middle East (never mind the greenhouse gas emissions) to protest the marine blockade of Gaze.
- Jews are indigenous to Israel
- Gaza is ruled by Hamas, a fundamentalist terror organisation with a genocidal purpose
- Human rights are not high on Hamas’ agenda – women are not allowed in public without a male relative
- Aid is often diverted to terror or misappropriated by millionaire Gazans
- The blockade is legal and attempting to breach it is reckless: UN
- Egypt borders Gaza and blockades more restrictively than Israel
- Israel is working to help Gazans
- This is not the path to peace or helping Palestinians
- The Greens are keeping bad company
