Significant support for Palestinians : Comments

By Stuart Rees, published 3/11/2015

The Israel right or wrong lobby will be preparing their usual polemics about BDS being an anti-Semitic plot to abolish the state of Israel and drive its citizens into the sea.

Thank you Stuart for supporting Israel.

Though there is a grain of truth in them, the facts that you present about the Palestinian innocence and Israel's brutal conduct are exaggerated half-truths.

While Palestinians do suffer, they have always been suffering, especially under their own regime and RELATIVELY, the best thing which ever happened to them was the Israeli occupation.

But never mind, if you can help Israel to save itself from the burden of holding onto those cursed territories that it took in 1967, which corrupt its society and ruin it from within, then you have my support.

Reading Mr Rees' contribution was an odd experience.

I couldn't determine if his is a work of fiction or non-fiction. After all his essay is littered with BDS misrepresentations that even Israel-basher Noam Chomsky has unmasked.

And right at the end of his piece it was all made clear, when Mr Rees writes: "[the BDS] shows a non-violent way to bring a decades long occupation to an end so that Palestinians ... build a future characterized by the values ....of human rights".

How funny is that? 'Arabs (or to use the marketing term 'Palestinians") and a 'society based on human rights' in the same sentence.

I haven't had such a good laugh in a while.

After all, there are 58 Muslim states and not a single exemplar of human rights amongst them.

Professor,
If you wrote an opinion piece as biased against Palestinians as your piece is against Israel, you would be in fear of your life. Such is the nature of the people for whom you have so much sympathy.
I am an atheist without any connection to Jews but am angry that a person who can put out such biased bile is funded by the taxpayer to put you poison into the minds of undergraduates.

The reason why Australians don't care about "Palestinians", Mr Reece, is because Palestinians" are Arabs and Muslims, and Australians as a rule don't like Arabs or Muslims. We also know that the only thing that the Arabs Muslims want is the total destruction of Israel, something which you and your tertiary education can't even figure out. That being the case, the Israelis should do whatever they need to do to defend themselves from their enemies.

I don't know why the Israelis just don't do to the "Palestinians" what the Arabs and Muslims have been doing to the Jews and the Christians in the Middle East for the last 1400 years. Ethnically cleanse them. Drive them back into "Muslim" countries. Arab Muslims crying about the ethnic cleansing of Arab Muslims is just like Nazis complaining about the ethnic cleansing of Nazis. But the Israelis are just too humanitarian for their own good.

And Arab Muslim countries are becoming unfit to live in anyway, mainly because they are full of Arab Muslims. So I suppose the Palestinians will have to head to Europe where the Eurotrash who have your overly humanitarian attitudes towards the people who hate them are starting to feel like Christian Scientists with appendicitis. With Europe filling up with Muslims, it will only be a matter of time before the Eurotrash start asking for asylum in Israel to get away from the Muslims.

So, don't keep upsetting the Israelis, Reece, you might need them when Sharia Law comes to your suburb. Think that won't happen? The Eurotrash used to laugh about that forty years ago, they are not laughing anymore,
