‘Hanging in the wind’: Israeli generals ‘taking the blame’ for death of Gaza aid workers

Cutin University Dean of Global Future Joseph Siracusa says the Netanyahu government in Israel is “hanging out a couple of its generals in the wind” to take the blame for the death of the aid workers in Gaza. Mr Siracusa’s comments come after the Australian government wrote to Israel calling for more transparency and accountability in the fallout from the airstrike which killed seven aid workers in Gaza. The Curtin University Dean of Global Futures says over 33,000 people have been killed in Gaza “because of the tactics used” by the Israeli Defence Force. “Their objective is to eradicate Hamas and to go into the area and take it over themselves and free the hostages,” Mr Siracusa told Sky News Australia. “In an urban conflict and in an urban conflict everything that moves is a target and it’s very, very hard to figure this out. ‘The Israelis will do what they have to do.”
