You blokes are obviously not talking to the people in the broader Australian community.
It is unusual for Australians to discuss anything remotely decisive in everyday conversation yet I have seen ordinary Australians discuss this topic ahead of the killing of Australians on jetliners ... despite the emphasis on the latter in Australian mainstream media. To be outspoken in forums like this on line opinion is also rare because of the oprium associated with the all too common slur anti-semitic. Since it is acknowledged widely I am not and never have been anti-semitic I have no such fear. And besides the intolerance exhibited by the pro Atrocity brigade in here would necessarily preclude any such hypocritical ascussation. Posted by imajulianutter, Thursday, 24 July 2014 11:38:26 AM

IJN,
Please don't confuse what your circle of like minded friends consider important as representative of the general public. Posted by Shadow Minister, Thursday, 24 July 2014 2:35:06 PM

My like minded friends are people I see in coffee shops, on neighbouring yachts, at child care centres, writing groups and at restaurants, clubs and pubs and they are of mostly middle or blue collar classes. Note none have a high regsrd for any religion snd are coming to realise the base problem in all mid east violence is the stupidity of the ancient religious beliefs.

IJN,
Then we have something in common as I am an atheist with no regard for religion. Most of the people I deal with are professionals, and while all hate the loss of life in Gaza, they largely or equally lay the blame squarely at the feet of Hamas.

Spellcheck is automatic; and I don't make a practice of correcting peoples spelling/grammar, haven't the time!
