I got no idea why any Australian would take to the streets to openly support any side in this. Ironically the reasons you are in Australia is probably because someone in your family wanted to get away from this type of conflict in search for a better life. If you feel that strongly about it then surrender your Aussie passport, get yourself over there and get a gun and fight- and more than likely die-good.

The idea of the protests is to try (against the odds) to draw attention to the Palestinian side of the story. Predictably our MSM will, as it always has, promote the US line. Only the Greens have been even handed so far.
Carlos. No one’s telling you what to think. Just asking you to think and not just repeat the msm bias. I know that’ll be hard cos the Palestinians are brown and muzzles to boot.

What for Israel's military reply then you'll see the same mob protest.....and it won't be firecrackers and chants of joy.
Of course killing Palestinian children and innocent people in revenge will be the same as the cowardly attacks that happened yesterday.
Anyone who celebrates shit like that don't deserve a place in this country

Carlo, the Plodder, 08, Jax and Randy. The conventional wisdom brigade repeating MSM propaganda like it’s the word from on high. None of them know anything about the Arab- Israeli conflict but are more than willing to not only jump to conclusions but are passionate and vociferous in so doing. There’s a name for that sort of contributor - Sheeple.
Who, after all, would subscribe to the thoughts of ol’ Jaxie which include Global Warming denial and any other ratbag position that Sky media runs seemingly oblivious to its mug milking MO. Imagine allowing Murdoch and Co to determine yours and your childrens’ destiny? Media that always presents only one predictable side of any issue is media for meatheads pure and simple. One would think that WMDs would raise red flags on any other subsequent matter but Oh no, not with that lot.Last edited by Paddo Colt 61; 10-09-2023, 11:11 PM.

Sorry to break it to you, but i took Politics and International Relations of the Middle East & Middle East: Foreign Relations and Politics as electives in my Psychology degree. I also took Advanced World Politics and Australian Politics. Yes, I didn't even finish year 10...but that doesn't mean you can't earn a degree later in life.
So I'm going to bet that I know a little bit more about the present situation and history of the Middle East than you do. If you believe that terrorism can be justified or tolerated in any way, you should stop reading John Menadue and start reading more substantive literature....perhaps even the occasional scholarly article.Expand your horizons; you have nothing to lose!
What year did you get that teachers degree?? Could be time for a refresh. That won't hurt either

This whole situation is tragic. One of my son's best friends at school is Palestinian (refugees). I saw her during pick-ups yesterday and her whole family were in tears. I don't think anybody supports this sorta shyte. We're all the same as humans and just wanna raise our families without getting bombed / shot at. IMO that's why we've all ended up in Australia... we're VERY lucky!
As Jaxxx noted, it is for sure that Easts' fanbase includes a heap of Jews who have families living in Israel (maybe some of them are on this forum and staying quiet to avoid conflict?) I feel for anybody impacted and definitely don't think any civilians deserved this. I can't see pictures of children screaming out in complete terror and say 'oh they deserved this'. But for circumstances, they could be my children... no children are evil or deserve to grow up in fear like that.

I have not seen anyone say these people deserved this What I can see is people pointing out why it happened. There is a news source in Israel known as Haaretz and beneath is the beginning of their own editorial on this blaming policy of Netanyahu I was quite stunned to see this
