Actually I believe North Korea qualifies as the world's largest prison.

Gaza would come second.

What exactly does "justice for the Palestinians" mean? What would it entail?

Good article, Stuart! It deals with some of the facts about the brutal Israeli occupation which has been underway for nearly sixty-four years.

What amazes me is most Australians, who are supposed to embrace the idea of a 'fair-go', are sympathetic to the Israelis who are the most brutal and cruel race of people on the face of the world, next to the Americans that is.

Why this shortcoming? The Jewish Lobby here is almost as powerful as it is in the U.S. Another reason is that the issues between the Palestinians and the Israelis are not discussed rationally in our schools or in our media. As well, our politicians go on little 'junkets' to Israel and regularly sell their souls.

The Palestinians have suffered long enough. Give them their freedom!

We have almost no media willing to report facts, Paul McGeough is one exception to the rule.

The rest take junkets paid for by the Jewish lobby here, they go to the museum and the border town of Sderot and pretend that is all about the Palestinians slaughtering the jews.

OUr own lazy media have all forgotten or never bothered to learn the facts, people like Gerard Henderson tell me I am raving when I point out the facts laid out by Ilan Pappe, Akiva Eldar, Tom Segev and many other great Israeli writers who are less afraid of their history than the west is of supporting the Palestinians.

Marilyn Shepherd, I do not believe any race of people is any more or less brutal or cruel than any other race of people.
There are plenty of Israelis who are opposed to the way Israel treats the Palestinians. Look at such organisations as Rabbis for Human Rights, B'Tselem, Women In Black, Machsom Watch, and Hamoked.
Similarly, there are obviously many Americans who are opposed to their own government's actions, such as Noam Chomsky, Michael Moore, and Chris Hedges.
I also do not believe the term "Jewish lobby" is apt. I think "Zionist lobby" is a better term. There are Jews in Australia who are opposed to the way Israel treats the Palestinians. Look at the Australian Jewish Democratic Society and Independent Australian Jewish Voices.

Sadly, I believe, until the terrorist state of Israel, aided and abetted by its supporter, the US of Paranoia, cease stealing and annexing Palestinian land this conflict will never end.
Just how long will it take before this terrorist state realises that there are no title deeds buried under the sand somewhere.......
