An Australian legal group says it is preparing a formal criminal complaint to the federal police seeking investigations into Australians serving with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for any potential offences committed.

The Australian Centre for International Justice (ACIJ) contacted the government in early June, requesting it issue warnings to the Australian public about the risks for Australians fighting for the IDF.

Lara Khider, acting executive director of ACIJ, told SBS News: “We are currently monitoring at least 20 individuals who are serving or have served in the Israeli military, and are preparing criminal complaints to the AFP [Australian Federal Police] seeking investigations into potential offences against the Commonwealth.”

      I’d say let them back in, but only to arrest them for life and kick them out of the country when they’re old and useless so they can’t harm another Palestinian child.

      Everyone one of those Nazi’s needs to be jailed for genocide. We also need to address the problem at home, who’re the cunts who made the ABC push Zionist talking points and defend a genocide for over a year? What pollies are getting lobbied?

      eyyy can we not start going elder protocols?

      yeah israels gone fucking insane and it’s very very good at politically and socially leveraging holocaust guilt and its strategic position as a western power base in the middle east. This is not the same as being in control.

        Oh sod off with that shit mate.

        Israel has it’s grubby fingers on our politicians and media, just as it does in nearly every other western country. This is not some conspiracy, it’s a fact that’s been made heaps obvious to everyone these days.

        Anyone pretending Israel does not have a level of control is lying. And stop acting like it’s antisemitism, no one gives a shit about some ‘elder protocols’ or any other Israeli/NeoNazi bullshit.

          You’re both agreeing on the same thing, but arguing over it’s extent. You both believe that Israel has a large amount of influence outside of its borders, and it uses that influence to enact its will.

          Control is more than influence. Control implies they can issue orders, impose binding conditions and have formal decision making authority over another country’s actions. Israel’s influence is softer than that. In practice, perhaps, Israel has a de facto control over other countries. But even then it will be a stretch as that generally implies a puppet state.

          I think pro-invasion proponents are looking for reasons to label any criticism as anti-semitic. Using language such as this gives them that reason.
