Palestinian Teen Tamimi Is No Victim
(Australian Jewish News) Gareth Narunsky - Sen. David Bushby, a member of the Australian Senate from Tasmania, told the chamber on March 19 that those promoting the cause of Palestinian teen Ahed Tamimi "would have us believe that Ms. Tamimi is the poor victim of Israeli brutality. The reality is very different. For the last five years Ahed Tamimi, and, to a lesser extent, her siblings, have become notorious for their constant efforts to provoke Israeli soldiers.... The typical and often repeated modus operandi is for a Tamimi child to approach Israeli soldiers and slap, hit, kick, spit at and insult them, while the Tamimi family adults wait with camera in hand for the provoked soldiers to retaliate." "This poster girl for Palestinian innocence called for stabbing attacks, suicide bombings and the throwing of rocks. Sadly, it would appear likely that Ahed has been raised to seek and glorify violence. Her parents, Bassem and Nariman, are also well-known for their anti-Semitic social media posts glorifying terror attacks. Other members of the family are convicted terrorists, including the mastermind of the Sbarro pizzeria bombing in 2001, which killed 15 people including [Australian] Malki Roth."
