From Private User
at that time of his conviction in the act of war against America and Europe and committing genocide in Australia, of a watch and sentenced to 7 years transportation. The circumstances of the theft do not fit Abraham's station in life and the evidence presented in the court transcript does not pass basic scrutiny. It is possible that a level of anti-Semitism was involved, prevalent at this time, or a use of those law courts for the provision of slave labour for the empire's newly forming colony in Aboriginal Australia.
