Oh the sweet irony of serving in a military committing genocide and wanting to visit your relative whom is a holocaust survivor.

On land unceded to the colonizers by genocided peoples.
faced delays in obtaining Australian visas after being asked to complete to complete a 13-page document typically required for military personnel involved in war
Well, they were involved in war, no matter how much lipstick this article wants to put on the pig.
Reservist = Military Personnel
Am i missing something here or why is that even mentioned?
Reservists don't necessarily go fight in a war. A lot of their work is voluntary rather than forced.
Reservists are soldiers that were drafted, served and then went back to doing civilian stuff. In Israels case there are probably no reservists that did not get deployed in some capacity. The chance that any randomly picked reservist has not participated in genocide, torture or at least unjust abuse of people from Gaza or the Westbank is pretty damn low.
Not a war; a belligerent invasion.
"Stonewalled", no, that's 13 pages of routine paperwork. I had to do more to see the doctor.

You have the world's tiniest violin, but can you play it?
sure, but is the tardigrade any good with it? lol
It's handling it all wrong, so I would guess no.
That's neither a violin nor how you play one 🤭
Hey, that Tardigrade is doing his best, okay!
For whatever reason that's not coming through for me without clicking.
For others who might have the same issue:
What did you post?
I converted the png to a smaller filesize jpg and posted it. Here's a screenshot, but if my other pic didn't come through for you, I am thinking this one won't either.

Good fuck these war criminals.
Make Israelis feel unwelcome everywhere besides their shiti apartheid shit hole.
No, you got it all wrong, make Israel feel welcome everywhere but there (provided they don't have a problem with the applicable immigration forms, ofc).

Being part of the illegal occupation force known as the IDF should DEFINITELY qualify you for that, plus more.
“We just want a clear answer, yes or no,”
So... DID you participate in genocide?
“We just want a clear answer, yes or no,” he said.
Well they also just want a clear answer, yes or no. We already know which one it is tho...
If traveling is that important maybe don't participate in genocide then?
You don't understand, the government told them to! If you think about it they're the real victims.
Yeah, they were just following orders
I guess seeing her grandma wasn't as important to her as not telling the truth. How hurtful for her grandma. At least she won't have to greet any more genocide enactors.
The bare fucking minimum so that the Australian government can argue that they aren’t complicit
I'm pretty sure centrelink forms are routinely longer than 13 pages.
