Well sp

That was only one of my constructive suggestions.

Either of the other two would be better.

Ima...

<<That was only one of my constructive suggestions.>>

Well don't hold back tell us the rest of them - would really like to hear ALL of your constructive suggestions?

Dear Imajulianutter,

I am sadly aware that there are some Jews in Israel (and America) who desire to exterminate all non-Jews, but my family has nothing to do with them.

My family consider themselves atheists.
Are you suggesting that they should convert to Islam?
Being (unlike myself) very scientific minded, I suspect they will not be able to believe in Allah even if they tried very hard.

Perhaps your advice could be helpful if this allowed them to live in peace - but observing that region, are the Muslims there living in peace, even among themselves?

The other alternative you mentioned, I already suggested to them, offering Australia as refuge, but they refuse: it's their home, they were born there, they have their houses and farms, friends, language, culture, familiarity, schools, jobs, etc. They have no desire to be uprooted and wander the world as refugees, besides some are just too old to travel.

Meanwhile, unless you can offer other constructive suggestions, killing those who wish to kill them is probably the most practical option.

Dear SteeleRedux,

Thank you for the sympathy.

I also wish for those West Bank settlements to vanish, for those cruel acts by Israelis that are unnecessary to cease and for the Palestinians to have their homeland with the 1967 borders. However, other than praying, it's not something which I or my family can do anything about.

As far as I know, none of my family hates Arabs, but being under attack and afraid for their and their children's lives they just have to do what they do, shooting with tears in their eyes.

You're not supposed to dislike Arabs, that's racist, and they can't help being Arabs.

Islam, on the other hand, should be fair game for any non-islamic intelligent person, as they are commanded in their holy books, and in their mosques, to put us all to the sword if we don't convert to Islam, or pay them tribute to be allowed to keep our heads. If we fail to back Israel, and the Muslims eventually do succeed in destroying Israel, the Islamic world will be encouraged to come after us next, as evidenced by the growing evidence of Islamic mayhem in Europe.

I thank God that Islam comes in two flavours, and that they hate each other even more than they hate us. Tony Abbott once remarked about the conflict in Syria, that we wouldn't get involved, as it was “baddies verses baddies”. The only way we should get involved is to keep arming both sides in Islam-on-Islam strife, but help the Jews, Christians, Hindus, and others fighting Islam.

We will eventually regret that we have allowed Islam to gain a foothold in the West.

Please keep posting, LEGO. I read articles by Peter Singer in the hope that I will find a response from you, it always “makes my day”.

Your comments are deplorable and you are maintaining a veneer of respectability to try to cover your support of atrocities and hatred.
Palestinians lived in peace until the Jewish dominated Israeli state caused the disruption in the region after the exit of the Turks, British and French.

You are utterly reprehensible in your pretended secularism. You reveal yourself as just another mid eastern demented religious bigoted nutjob and a liar.

When your innocent family suffer another progrom, don't come grizzling.

I stated the options available. Can't you read or is it a deficiency in comprehension you suffer.

The likely result of the current Israeli outbreak of terrorism is the removal of their illegal blockade of Gaza. A massive victory, in everybody view, for Hamas. How stupid are you blokes? Don't you understand that will ensure Hamas will continue to be representative of the Palestinians. The more violence you perpetrate the greater harm you do to yourselves. Look at how you are now bombing UN facilities as the UN tried to prevent that. That was a simple barbarism. We noticed, even though you people try to cloud it with your lies.

<<I stated the options available. Can't you read or is it a deficiency in comprehension you suffer>>

So the civil Ima... didnt last long,eh!

Neither of those two were realistic. They amounted to convert to Islam or move out. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, hoping you had some more realistic proposals.

But reading on and seeing that you propose that if only Gaza was unimpeded (and no doubt heavily subsidized) everything would be just dandy and "the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will lie down with the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion"--maybe I gave you far too much credit for for something you severely lack ...realism!
