Who knew that there were albino wallabies?\n<\/p>\n
Who knew that there was a Gan Garoo Zoo in the Beit She\u2019an Valley?\n<\/p>\n
Who knew there was an Australian-themed animal park in northern Israel?\n<\/p>\n
Who knew that there were two Israelis desirous of stealing wallabies from a zoo and moving them to their Tel Aviv apartment?\n<\/p>\n
Who knew that the Israeli police could solve this burglary in less than 24 hours?\n<\/p>\n
Was the Mossad involved?\n<\/p>\n
If the thieves are convicted, will Greta Thunberg declare that the Israelis ran a \u201ckangaroo court\u201d? Will she lead a flotilla to Israel to protest the arrest of these poor protectors of joey rights? Finally, will she demand that the roo be sent back to the land down under?\n<\/p>\n
How was the wallaby\u2019s health at the time of his or her rescue?\n<\/p>\n
How will Israeli justice deal with this heinous criminal?\n<\/p>\n
This mystery needs much more investigation by the Times of Israel; we must demand that a full-time reporter be assigned to this story and that the editors of TOI hop to it.\n<\/p>\n
