Here is a recent report from the ABC about the latest UN school to be bombed in the Gaza strip with more pictures of Benjamin Netanyahu's “telegenically dead”.

“Ladies and gentlemen of the press, dear friends, sometimes you run out of words. We have received with shock and dismay the news of the bombing this morning of a UN designated shelter.”
UN deputy secretary-general Jan Eliasson

“This morning, yet another United Nations school sheltering thousands of Palestinian families suffered a reprehensible attack. All available evidence points to Israeli artillery as the cause. Nothing is more shameful than attacking sleeping children ... It is outrageous. It is unjustifiable. And it demands accountability and justice.”
UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon


My God! When are our weak kneed, sycophantic government going to stand up and demand an end to this? I have already rung my local member and asked them to urge their leaders to do the right thing and condemn what is happening to the people of Gaza. I invite OLO readers to do the same. It has to stop.

If Brandis wants to play with the terminology of occupied over disputed or Bishop wants to call people like me, those who support a blockade of Israeli products being sold in Australia, anti-Semitic then so be it. But you are my nation's representatives and for you to remain silent when such atrocities are being inflicted on the children of Gaza shames me and my country.

Do your job!

I believe The Hadith quoted by SPQR is correct and quite well known, as in many cases to understand something requires us to look at the context and have the intention of seeking the truth , for those who seek the truth seek God and they will not be forsaken.
The Hadith is talking about the signs of end of time, the companions of prophet Mohamad ( peace be upon him) were curious as to when the end of time is, they knew that it is to remain a mystery, so they asked about the signs of it's coming ,that explains the start of the Hadith " the hour will not be established until...".
The Hadith is foretelling the future that will occur rather than instructing the Muslims to kill Jews.
If we look at the interpretation of the Hadith ,the "Jew "mentioned is a combatant soldier taking cover ( as they do in skirmishes), not a civilian (as it is against the teachings of Islam to kill civilians, otherwise the whole Muslim world would of joined Alqaeda),the rest of the Hadith implies that all creatures will want their reign to come to an end,
This compels us to think , what atrocities did these people commit to deserve that ? I guess time is revealing this,one ugly stage at a time.
It's sad to see people justify one genocide with another and stereotyping their enemy so that it's easier to hate them and justify the killing of the innocent.
whether you say all Jews are Zionist oppressors or that all Muslims are terrorists, you are just as guilty as each other, as for those that claim moral high grounds by not belonging to any religion , they are but cowards that take shots at every opportunity, as they themselves have no clue nor do they intend on seeking the truth.

@SPQR

Thanks for sharing “some” information on your background.

1-Assuming you to be an atheist, and knowing that some of you try to wrap logic around your position in a failed attempt to show that yours is not a “faith”, respecting your faith I will re-frame my earlier statement that my faith vs your faith is not a good topic of discussion. It is particularly so in the context of the point in discussion as it diverts the focus

2- A perplexing question still remains, how come a purely religious claim on others’ land by Israelis exclusively because their religious book says so attracts a passionate supporter who professes no religion. Is there something more in your background?

3- Palestinians’ reaction to the occupation of their land, farms and businesses is ONLY human. Any group of people in the world would resist the occupation – irrespective of their faith or culture. You toe the Israeli line when you try to divert attention from the CAUSE. Is there something more in your background?
4- You have touched history in a general statement on (Islam’s) one of the most bloody histories on record. Your contention can be examined in any detail with the help of verifiable historic records today. To begin with:
a. Look at the war causalities in a short span in three decades in WWI and WWII and then add up deaths that you search in Muslim history of a thousand years you will find the former to be greater than the latter by orders of magnitude – What say you now?
b. Among many (and I mean many) instances, I suggest you to look at the 100-year war between Protestant England and Catholic France. Other instances are too many even to be summarised for this discussion- and I will, if you have the patience and the apatite.

My friend, human history is not bloodless. Seeing blood only in Muslim history is an attempt to hide the CAUSE of the tragedy in question – a typical strategy of the aggressors - Is there something more in your background?

Palestinian Tragedy is indeed the biggest tragedy of our times, and the whole world needs to focus on this problem to solve it. However until the US and the West stops backing Zionism this problem will not be solved. Add to this the slavery of almost entire Muslim world (except Syria and Iran), every one can see that this problem is far from being solved for another few decades.

Well written article by Junaid. No amount of argument can hide the naked Zionist aggression towards a small group of helpless people.
