On Monday Parliament heard two emotional speeches about alleged Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian children. Neither of them mentioned the vast upsurge in terrorism against innocent civilians in Israel which were the inevitable cause in the increased number of juvenile arrests. Furthermore, neither speech mentioned the vast number of deaths of juveniles in surrounding countries, nor the fact that similar crimes here in Australia were being cracked down on with legislation on control orders on 14 – 18 year olds. This is following a parallel upsurge in Jihadist teenagers attacking innocent people even here in Australia.
