There never has been on these pages a more outrageous article and on this occasion, written by a Zionist as well. A Melbourne Zionist at that, no doubt a friend and associate of our compromised PM Gillard.

Where does one start. Para 2.."...the rights should be afforded as a member of the UN are ignored". Shall we discuss the hundreds of UN resolutions that the apartheid state of Israel has ignored over the period with the help of the US veto, always on hand for such a purpose.

He continues.." politically motivated agenda that is biased against Israel.." Typical of Zionist writings, a complete 180 degree misrepresentation of the facts. The Zionist state has totally ignored directions to stop the building of settlements on Palestinian land, murdering women and children, demolishing homes, levelling farming land, phosphorous bombings, destroying UN buildings, and the list goes on. We all remember Shatila and Sabra massacres, the perfidy of the USS Liberty.

He continues...'As a member of the UN, Israel should be supported...'
Why would any human being support apartheid and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people?

"...terror in the form of rockets from Gaza...".
Totally insignificant compared to the Israeli terrorism carried out by professionals with no regard for humanity, justice or compassion using tanks, bombers and ruthless soldiers, the product of sixty years of hate and real terror. It is now the developed Israeli culture.

May I respectfully suggest to the Zionist writer that he discontinue treating genuine Australians, not dual-passported supplanted Israelis, as stupid. We are better informed than he obviously believes and are familiar with the crimes committed by Israel, the Holocaust hate campaign for 60 years, the 'anti-semitic' propaganda exercises, all of which are now tired old mantras and have worn out their effectiveness. As in America, we are aware that Zionists do nothing for the country they supposedly belong to, but just use it for their own ends, everywhere, bhere is Australia as well.

Once the Jews deserved some consideration. Zionists deserve nothing but the contempt from the rest of the world, which they have earned.

Yes this is a disgraceful post. Nothing but propaganda, completely ignoring the reality of the situation. Israel maintains a 40 year military occupation, constantly kills the occupied people, maintains a siege on the 1.5 million people in Gaza, all the while stealing more and more of what little remains of the land for a possible Palestinian state. They then have the audacity to claim they are the victim. Unfortunately, when such behaviour is carried out by "the Jewish State" it can give the false impression that such behaviour is innate to being Jewish. Fortunately some of the strongest voices calling for Justice in Israel/Palestine are also Jewish, which helps to restore my faith in the Jewish people. I guess the Israelis have simply forgotten that the people whose land they occupy and whose children they kill and houses they destroy are human too. Perhaps very similarly to how the White South Africans forgot that blacks were humans, and perhaps Australia was once guilty of such behaviour as well. Perhaps like South Africa and White Australia, the Israelis will one day do justice by the indigenous people of Palestine and decent Jews around the world will once again be able to hod there heads high as being part of a decent and moral people.

RexW,

I see it’s OK for the self flagellating loony-left to indulge in unbridled racism, as long as it’s limited to Jews and Israel.

You say at the start of your hysterical piece “Where does one start.... “

How about you start with the addressing the facts presented by the author, which you have conveniently sidestepped.

Danny’s point is that the UNHRC is an organisation dominated by a coalition of the world’s worst violators of human rights. You cannot deny this. It’s a fact. Angola, Burkina Faso, Libya, Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, China, Pakistan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Cuba are among the members.

Nor can you deny that the agenda of the UNHRC is monumentally imbalanced. By 2007, the UNHRC had condemned only 1 country for human rights violation. Israel.

HOW CAN THAT BE??

“In the face of atrocities in the Sudan, attacks on civilians in Sri Lanka, and impunity for mass murder in Uzbekistan, this council was largely silent ....” Human Rights Watch

Sudan, A country which killed 200,000 of its people, is a regular sponsor of anti-Israeli motions in the UNHRC. But has Sudan been specifically condemned by the UNHRC??

As for the rest of your emotional rant.

You say "...terror in the form of rockets from Gaza...". Totally insignificant compared to the Israeli terrorism ...

It might well be insignificant to you, safe in your home in Australia. You don’t have to worry about suicide bombers stepping onto the same bus you take to work or school. Or detonating themselves in your favourite restaurant.

You say “ ... carried out by professionals with no regard for humanity, justice or compassion using ... ruthless soldiers, the product of sixty years of hate and real terror. “

ruthless soldiers?? “ No humanity justice or compassion??

How ruthless is a suicide bomber? How much justice is there in detonating a bomb in a room crowded with innocent people, where is the humanity? The compassion? ARE YOU SERIOUS??

What about the Palestinians teaching their children to celebrate their martyrs, who only EVER target innocent people. How’s that for hate and terror

Following the comments by Rhys above, he is totally right to hope that we do not lose faith in the Jewish people, the great majority of whom are decent people, NOT Zionists with their evil objectives and long term plans to control all that part of 'Ersetz Israel' currently occupied by other peoples. This is of little concern to them.

The Israelis go through the charade of "Peace Talks" with the connivance of their partner in crime, America, a weak and once proud and respected nation, now a shell of its former self, jumping to the dictates of Israel as they manipulate the US foreign policies.
It is in the US that the greatest Jewish support for a free Palestine exists, proving without doubt that the bulk of real Jews want a solution in the middle east, but NOT the Zionists.

We wish them well in their efforts.

The Zionists are to Israel what the Nazis were to Germany.They are both deceptive and shameless.

"The United Nations and human rights activists should address these issues and make the statement that they value human rights not just for some, but for all nations."

When Israel recognises and protects the human rights of all its citizens not just those that are Jewish maybe you will have a case.
When Israel stops stealing Palestinian land and ends its military control and conquest of Arab lands maybe you will have a case.
When Israel signs the NPT or better still gets rid of its weapons of mass destruction maybe you will have a case.
When Israel ceases to be a rogue nation defined by expansionism and militarism maybe you will have a case.
