Piers Akerman’s gory comparison of the Greek titan Cronos eating his children is indeed a spectacular way to highlight how Hamas treats children. The very sad aspect of this is that all citizens of Gaza, regardless of age, are considered expendable martyrs by Hamas. Afterlife is unquestionably deemed superior, a view only possible if human life is completely debased. While this battle is fought out in the Middle East, it is surely illogical to attack or besmirch Jews living peacefully in Australia, since the anti-Zionist idealism is to have them living away from Israel. Surely making Jews feel unsafe here would only ensure they migrate to Israel, defeating the professed purpose of Hamas supporters in Australia. Little doubt, firing rockets from schools, hospitals and mosques must be labelled a war crime and punished. Akerman is right to question the motivation of those aligning with Hamas.
