Joe,

I am puzzled by your response to one of David G's posts. I completely fail to see any link between al Qa'ida blowing up a hospital in Yemen and David G's argument that Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is an enduring criminal disgrace. Unless of course you make a link between al Qa'ida and the Palestinians in which case intelligent dialogue is not possible.

Thanks, James, no, I'm not suggesting any links between al-Qa'ida and any Palestinian groups, yet, but merely to put the repression of Palestinians by Israel into some sort of perspective.

Whatever terrorist acts the various al-Qai'da-affiliated groups may commit, blowing up hospitals, market-places, schools, etc., at about one atrocity per week since 9/11, in around one hundred countries by now, tends to out-do whatever the Israelis may do in Palestine. That's the context of life in the current Middle East and North Africa (and south Asia, Afghanistan, etc.).

Those groups present a far, far greater danger to human rights across that region than does Israel. As we are now seeing in Syria, the Islamists are more vicious and brutal than Israelis have ever been. But we don't hear much about that from their deluded new besties.

And in relation to the topic, I would respectfully suggest that the blow-back from the exterminations going on in Syria are going to be far more significant for Australians than the comparatively piddly conflict in Palestine. What's the total of killings in Syria now - 136,000 ? In three years ? I don't think the Israelis can match that.

The US is in an extremely difficult position, in that they are realising that the forces opposing Assad in Syria are worse than Assad, with all his bombing of his own citizens and use of chemical weapons against them. But if the US is seen to provide any support whatever for Assad against the Islamists, and their Saudi and Turkish backers, all hell would break loose, including in Australia. The Syrian war could easily spread to other countries, and eventually a confrontation between the Saudis and Turks on one side and Iran and Iraq on the other, regardless of whatever the US does.

[TBC]

[continued]

In all of that, Palestine is a side-show. It's certainly a conflict which should be resolved, but it's one amongst many in that region. And it shouldn't be exploited to aggravate differences in Australian society. There is far more reason to work together, here and in Israel/Palestine, than to focus on division. Anybody interested in human rights has a common enemy, the Islamists. They are as much of a threat to Palestinians as to Israelis and the rest of us.
