You should tender your resignation from the QCCL forthwith.
You show scant understanding that civil liberties apply to everyone. Especially those civillians suffering at the hands of a power conducting an illegal blockade.

Why are you not carrying out a dialogue with the aggressor in that situation and calling for a fair go for the Gazans?
The thrust of your article is to support further subjucation of the Gazans to the will of the Jewish expansionism. You are in fact supporting a greater Israel and zionist ambitions.

That is utterly at odds with the aim of supporting civil liberties and an uttey disgraceful position for an advocate of human rights.

Where is your credibility when you are required to speak out in defence of indigenous people in Australia?

Publishing this article was ill advised.

This article was published under the authorship of Daemon Singer at the time of my posting.
I apologise to Daemon.

David Singers views are the usual propaganda rubbish and David in his refusal to even acknowlege, let alone criticise, Israeli war crimes shows his support for the killing of innocent kids.

Why is this article's header still showing Daemon Singer as the author, when it is David's work?

Why does the digging of a tunnel from Gaza to Occupied Palestine a big deal to Israelis? In no legal ir practical way did it ever threaten Israel and was never more than a token gesture.

Why is it that only one person in Australia, the one-eyed Mr David Singer, publicly supports the uncontrolled mayhem which Israel regularly inflicts on its neighbours?

If Israel truly desired peace, then it would not treat its neighbours so shabbily that there is no other realistic alternative but that extremist organisations such as the defunct PLO and, now, Fatah, will dominate their politics?

The answers to these questions lies in Israeli hands alone.

I am convinced that the only way for the bloodshed to cease is for both Israel and Palestine (by whatever name) to disappear and for these lands to be controlled be an external, strong, fair, humanitarian force, one where religion plays no part in the decision making and the rule of law prevails. Sadly, I cannot see that day coming.

No it can't; and it simply has to ignore those who essentially say, don't return fire or otherwise try to protect yourself.
If this were Mexico, attacking the US, it Mexico, would be wiped of the map.
However, Israel is not the US, and surrounded on virtually all sides by hostile/semi hostile forces!
Also it ought to offer those Hamas cowards, hiding behind human shields, an exchange; two sandbags for every human, they force to stand between them and those they attack daily, with unguided, indiscriminately killing missiles!
That said, Israel should destroy some of the tunnels and bobytrap the others.
Hamas leaders shouldn't be able to foment this sort of terrorism, and remain virtually free to hop across some border, to save their own skins, while those they incite, remain behind to do all the killing and dying, and for what?
All this can possibly achieve, is to delay any genuine peace accord, or the mythical two state solution, that ends all hostilities?
The problem for Israel and Palestine, these tiny hardcore activists, just want to kill or destroy Israel, and will do what they can to drag others into their conflict; with, look at the numbers the Israelis have killed.
One day some scientist somewhere, will discover a force field or some method of turning these weapons around, and straight back whence they came?
Should that occur, Hamas, would likely blame any and all casualties on Israel!
As they do now, including the human sandbags, (women and children) they force to stay behind!
The usual exits must be blocked off, and the action continued, until all the venomous Hamas snakes heads are lopped off!
And those who remain, will then be free to finally sheet the blame home to where it is deserved; those nutters, who continuously tormented and thoroughly aroused the sleeping Israeli lion!
Rhrosty.

@imajulianutter. Once again we agree! I really don't know why Graeme continues to publish this unvarnished Zionist propaganda. Singer is reputedly a lawyer, yet he shows a profound ignorance of international law. His claims, here and elsewhere, are beyond wrong, they are active disinformation.

Unfortunately, he seems to have adherents in the Australian government, current and past. Their stunning silence on the latest Israeli lawlessness and brutality is an eloquent comment in its own right.

Which should be very worrying indeed --please consult a medical professional about this condition.
