This week Australia announced they would resume using the term “Occupied Palestinian Territories”, which is abandoned by a previous government and has now been resurrected by Australia’s far left government, which continues to run an antisemitic agenda, having previously stated that Australia no longer recognises West Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, even though that land is not under dispute. The Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese stated that the decision was made on legal advice and UN resolutions. Where this legal advice came from is open to question, as Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza have never been part of any Arab Palestinian entity. The last holders of the deed to these indigenous Jewish lands were the British, who took the areas from the Ottomans after World War I. If you want to see a true occupied colonial enterprise based on the killing of indigenous people, you need look no further than Australia. [Illustration: W.L.
