A return to a balanced approach in the Middle East will improve Australia's image in the Arab and Islamic world.

I agree there should be more balance in the middle east

1/3 land for Jews, 1/3 land for christians and 1/3 for the arabs

The premise of this article is lets blame everything on other people

Lets ignore that the Arabs invaded Isreal 3 times, and only mention the Isrealis attack on an area which was lauching rockets which were killing the Isrealis

Lets blame all Arabs violence in Cronulla on .... lets see who we can blame it on .... the federal government

Maybe we can pin the rapes on them as well

Quite simply, until the Arabs start taking responsible for their actions and not continue to blame everyone else for their errors and faults, and start fitting into the societies they lives in, ie like the italians and greeks before them and the asians before and after them. They will have trouble with others in any society

The search of Balance must start with the Arabs

A well-timed article Antoun.

However do wish more could have been mentioned about Israel going illegally Nuko way back in the late sixties.

Especially as the Minister of State at the time, Henry Kissinger had severely protested about the very much illegal action and what could ultimately end Israel's decent democrat importance in the Middle East.

Certainly most Australian political scientists were pleased when it was revealed by the Washington Post how the Kissinger statement was discovered in the White House archives.

The sooner Australia ignores your misguised missive, the better for all involved.

CRONULLA? wow.. quite a bit of historic revisionism there.

Claiming it was a result of our taking sides in the middle east is not only ludicrous in the light of decades of Lebanese Muslim racism and social disfunction, rudeness to other aussies and outright land grabs ("no..you white trash can't use these rockpools..they are for OUR women") -it is also provocative and inflammatory.

Yes.. let's have more BALANCE in the middle East.
As Dofif says...let's have

EQUAL area for Christians
EQUAL area for Muslims
EQUAL area for Jews.

Butttt of course... fairness and avoiding discrimination was not in the slightest what the very unbalanced article was about..was it?

Nope..it was a classic example of how one cultural/religious community sees the world in terms of it's own interests.

All it does is confirm how bad, ugly and unnacceptable any idea of 'Multi' culturalism is for Australia.

WE, through our elected representitives CHOOSE our allies and decide who our enemies are.

Our enemies are those who carve off heads and teach 13 yr old little boys how to do it.... they are those who teach children to hate from the moment they can speak.. and who would that be?

Oh..that's right.. the Arab Muslim Palestinians.

When they democratically elect a party which regards the whole of Israel as an "Islamic Waqf from the days it was conquered by force until the resurrection" it is very simple to determine who is 'the enemy' here..

The enemy is Hamas, and all those who think alike. Including any so called Australian.

Please take the earliest opportunity to leave this country, never to return.
