It never fails to amaze me the racist views expressed by supporters of Israel. They dismiss every criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism and then accuse all Arabs of being homicidal rapists.
Maybe it is simply that they judge all others by their own standards. Because because they are unthinking racists themselves, they think everyone else must be.
A man was jailed for two years in Western Australia recently (Brendon McConnell) for publicly claiming that Judaism is a religion of hate and ethnic cleansing. Here I read LEGO branding all Arabs as rapists and mass murderers.
No mention of the Saudi Peace initiative offering peace and full normalisation of relations with Israel for withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967.
Much easier to live in a simplistic world where all the worlds problems can be blamed on irrational Jew hatred.

Rhys Jones,

If the facts about Brendon Lee O’Connell (Not McConnell) are as you state then this is APPALLING. Anyone should be allowed to say whatever they like about any belief system.

Unfortunately the only report I can find on the affair is this one on the ABC website.

Not knowing what was on the youtube video I cannot comment further

Dear Mr Jones, I will answer your post, as it seems to be directed at me.

I did not accuse anyone of anti Semitism, I simply pointed out that the white western opponents of Israel have got their facts wrong, and their ideology screwed up.

I used to be an anti racist myself, until I finally worked out that the so called “anti racists” were extremely racist towards my race. Your side can not train me to recognize racism, and then wonder why I can see it in their own arguments. Put simply, people with your view have a “Blame the White Guy for Everything” approach, to explain away the consistent failures of certain ethnic, religious and racial groups. Hitler blamed the Jews for the misfortunes of the Germans, but by some process of doublethink, your side makes a similar claim about whites and then pretends that such an opinion is not racist.

But you are right when you say that I do think that everybody is racist. Every one of us identifies groups of people that we despise because of their attitudes, values or behaviours. And we denigrate, stereotype and label them. There is nothing wrong with it, it just happens to be one of the favourite pastimes of the entire human race.

I do have a theory that one of the reasons why people like you hate Israel. It is because your utopian idealism is totally dependent on non racism, and the Jews should understand all about that and be your natural allies. But instead of being anti racist, the Jews in Israel realized that they must copy the every Muslim country and form a racist state where their own religious cultural values prevailed, or they were never going to be safe.

This is totally unacceptable for your Alice in Wonderland thinking, where you think that countries can remain stable when the various tribes have cultural values which are diametrically opposed. All the people have to do is sit around the campfire and sing “Kumbaya”.

The 'Peace Process', dead as Monty Python’s parrot. So says Stuart Littlwood.

A programmed sayanim like the article’s author by using the word “occupation” seems to feel feels no anguish over such a word. Whereas for the rest of the world, occupation has frightening connotations. It reminds people of World War II, France, Belgium, Eastern Europe, the Balkans under Germany, China under the brutal Japanese with the rape of Nanking.

The rape of Palestine should be on everyone’s minds, all but the occupiers, that is. They have shown over forty years that they don’t give a damn for humanity.

Stuart Littlewood is author of the book Radio Free Palestine, which tells the plight of the Palestinians under ‘occupation’.

Yes, there’s that word again.

To rexw

Muslims have been “occupying” Christian and Pagan lands since the 6th Century, and ethnically cleansing the places of anyone who refused to bow to Mecca. So why should anyone shed a tear when one of Islam’s victims reoccupies their ancestral home and returns the compliment to the Muslims?

LEGO,you are talking about events that happened over 2000yrs ago.Many of the Jews who returned to Israel after WW2 had no genetic connection to that country.They look pretty white to me.It was basically a religious connection.So to justify the taking of Palistinian land in your vision of what is right,you are using injustices that happened very long ago,which is not logical.

If they cannot get along,form 2 separate countries and stop incursions from both sides.
