Response to the motion on Palestinian children – Michael Danby MP

Response to the motion on Palestinian children – Michael Danby MP

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.
