By David Singer, published 25/2/2011

Democratic elections don't necessarily lead to democratic outcomes - look at Hamas and Gaza.

Truely David, At the end of the day yours are just more of the same ... weasel words. And none of us believe you any more.

We're no longer listening ... we're all watching with excitement the Arab world.

And don't you blokes think you can subvert what's happening there!

It really is amusing to see all these young people today posturing and denouncing Israel, and actually portaying Israel as a villain.

I lived through a time when the educated, liberal youths all staunchly supported Israel, and when bragging about living on a kibbutz was the ultimate proof that you were a card carrying member of the intelligent, brahmin caste.

Young brahmins have always divided the world up between Oppressors and Oppressed, and Israel was considered an Oppressed state, while the 500 million Arabs all clamouring for its destruction were the Oppressors. The problem for Israel, was that in all its wars it just kept winning. And for young brahmins, people who are winners are automatically considered to be Oppressors, while people who are the Losers then become the Oppressed.

The fact that (starting with Mohammad himself) every Muslim nation has almost succeeded in ethnically cleansing every Jew from their lands is something today's brahmins prefer not to dwell upon. Nor is it considered that the hatred directed against Israel by the Muslim world has nothing to do with Palestinians, it is because the very presence of Israel means that Islam has retreated in a country once conquored by the armies Islam.

THAT is an offense to their God and THAT is what it is all about.

But today's young trendies seize upon the condemnation of Israel in order to prove their liberal credentials, in the same way that an adolescent seizes up a pack of cigarettes to prove that he is an adult.

Lego, I'm no young trendy and I condemn Israel. I condemn it for its brutality, its war crimes, its genocide, its arrogance, its cruelty, its land stealing, its strangling occupation.

Which planet do you live on?

And what about stealing Australian passports so that they can engage in extra-judicial assassinations.
