'Did you participate in genocide?': Australia stonewalls Israeli siblings' visa application over IDF service
Omer and Ella Berger planned to visit their 100-year-old great-grandmother in Australia but were denied entry and asked to complete a 13-page form due to their IDF service; 'Decision reflects government’s increasingly hostile stance against Israel,' relative says
Israeli siblings Omer Berger, 24, and Ella Berger, 22, 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. The siblings had planned to visit their 100-year-old great-grandmother, a Holocaust survivor.
According to Berger, six family members applied for Australian visas two months ago. While all were promptly approved, Omer and Ella were told to submit the extended form. The questions included whether they had participated in physical or psychological abuse, served as guards or officials in detention facilities or engaged in war crimes or genocide.
Ella, who had received a week’s leave from her military service to attend the celebration, gave up waiting and returned to Israel. Omer, a reservist, remains in Thailand, hoping for a resolution. Berger expressed the family’s heartbreak, fearing they may never see their great-grandmother again. “We just want a clear answer, yes or no,” he said.

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.
