Zahal Disabled Veterans Organisation
David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (11:02): Last week the member for Box Hill and I co-hosted members from Zahal Disabled Veterans Organisation, including Emily Schrader, who is a social media advocate, and Amit Steinhart and Yoseph Haddad, two former Israeli Defence Forces soldiers that had been injured. Yoseph Haddad, an Israeli Arab, puts it simply that the coexistence between Arabs and Israelis is more than coexistence, it is a partnership, and that is what we need to do. Here is an Israeli Arab that has made the ultimate sacrifice, being injured to ensure Israel’s right to existence. A big shout-out to Yoseph Haddad and that organisation for that fantastic work.
