Well ribbit can eff off. Imo it's more important that we keep in mind what the article says:

Understand what is truly at stake. For decades Israel has acted in the settled expectation that it answers to no one, underwritten by the certainty that its Western friends would always look away.

That assumption is what is now on trial in Canberra. The moment a trusted ally follows the evidence wherever it leads, the spell breaks, and other capitals discover they can ask the question too. This is why the world is watching a story that began with a few small boats.

The era of impunity rested on a single belief. That no friend would ever break ranks. A friend just did.

Ad WE must not let up making sure our govt knows we are not forgetting that the assaults on the flotilla Australians are being investigated. We are and will demand answers.
