"..Israel aka Jews...".
'Israeli' is not interchangable with 'Jew'.
All Jews are not Israelis (citizens of Israel) .Nor are all Australian Jews Israelis (dual citizenship) .Nor are all Australian Jews even pro-Israel .
The disloyalty problem arises in this country when Australian/Israeli citizens become indiscriminately pro-Israel - That is when Australian citizens can & do white-ant Australian values & interests - in pursuit of conflicting values & interests of the foreigh state of Israel
That is when Australia gets dudded by Australians ,for Israel .

Predictably , loyal Australians don't like that , & have no time for the perpetrators

Dear Rexw.....you seem to be extremely biased.

"find the inhuman acts of Israel to be intolerable to them as well."

It surprises me that you mention only one side in that conflict.

It surprises me even more that you seem to be oblivious to the barbarity of the Palestinians.

You also seem ignorant at what they are doing not to Jews..but to Christians !

You won't hear it in the Daily Telegraph or SMH..but the experience of Christians in Bethlehem is well known 'in house'.. they face awful pressure from Muslims demanding "Jizya" ..Bethlehem once had a large Christian majority.. look at it now.. why are people voting with their feet ?

Please try to be more balanced and less prejudiced.

LOL

I sense the start of a feeding frenzy for those poor souls afflicted with IOD*

*IOD = Israel Obsession Disorder

No stevenlmeyer.It is IUD.Israel under estimation disorder.Their power and influence is way out of proportion to their size.They are pushing the world closer to war and that needs to be exposed.

"Please try to be more balanced and less prejudiced."

The words "pot", "kettle" and "black" immediately come to mind.

I also can't see how you can claim to be in support of Zionism yet support a political group like the BNP which has a neo-Nazi pedigree and links to holocaust deniers and white supremacist skinheads.

Then again, yes I can.

In 1933 a Polish Jewish legal eagle named Raphael Lemkin presented a paper to the League of Nations, the paper was a proposal for the League of Nations to ratify a new category of international crime. Lemkin named it “The Crime of Barbarity” and was based on what Lemkin was told about the Ottoman Empire’s mass killings of Christians during the WW1. His proposal was rejected.

In 1944, Lemkin’s salient book entitled “Axis Rule in Occupied Europe” was published. The book, an extensive analysis of German rule in the countries it occupied during WW2, also contained a revamped (to include Germany’s WW2 atrocities), proposal of his 1933 treatise but this time Lemkin retitled it from “Crime of Barbarity” to “Genocide” a new word he had conceived from old Latin, Greek and French.

In his definition of “Genocide” as put forward to the UN General Assembly for ratification Lemkin wrote;

[“....Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation.
It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups...”]

In 1948, Lemkin’s hard work finally came to fruition; the UN and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court both adopted the “Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide”.

In 1959 Lemkin died of a heart attack at the age of 59 in New York City.

It’s all so poignant that the criterion set down by Lemkin in his definition of genocide should be adopted by his very own people to use as a strategy against the people of Palestine. Don’t ya think? Turn in ya grave, Raphael
