The report was impassioned and extremely complimentary of Israel and its citizens. Bob expressed a heartfelt understanding of the challenges Israel faces and admiration for the achievements of its citizens.
He mentioned many of the activities organised by AIJAC , including a visit to Beer Sheva and the site of the 10th Light Horse battle that took the town from the Turks. He specifically proposed the establishment of a sister-city relationship between Albany (the West Australian port from which the 10th Light Horsemen embarked) and Beer Sheva. He also referred to his recommendation to the Returned Servicemen’s League to encourage visits to Beer Sheva as part of the annual ANZAC commemorations.
I will get a copy of the Hansard transcript and, if possible, of the video clip of the session and try to make them available to readers of Jewish Issues Watchdog.
