(The Israel Connexion) – Stephen M. Flatow is a father of five whose then 20-year-old daughter, Alisa, died in April 1995 following an Iranian terrorist attack while she was a student in Israel.

Stephen has written an article ‘Should Israel refer to Australia as occupied Aboriginal territory?’, in which he suggests Australia’s Labor government ought to take a look in the mirror before hurling false and insulting accusations at Israel. (1:06-23:08)

Senator David Fawcett is a Liberal Senator for South Australia and the Deputy Chair of the Australian Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade.
