runner,

Some people don't buy the Zionist propaganda lie that brave little Israel is on the front line defending the West from the Islamic hordes. Do you ever wonder what the ME would be like without Israel's continuous expansion and America's interference in support of the Zionist predator?
Sometimes our enemy's enemy isn't a friend.

What a perfectly odd little article. The complaint is of no media look at the plight of Christians in war torn Middle East, but then Singer proceeds to quote no less than 7 different news sources.

The plight of Christians and all minorities, this includes whichever is the minority Islamic version, is in indescribable danger in large swathes of the Middle East and Africa. Perhaps Australia should increase their refugee intake to assist in the plight of some of these people.

Incidentally, there were more than a million Christians living in Iraq while Saddam Hussein was the dictator there. Since being 'liberated' by the USA and the coalition of the willing this number has more than halved.

Is the author implying because there are atrocities happening elsewhere, there is no need to look at what is happening in Gaza? Why?

@Yvonne,

<<Incidentally, there were more than a million Christians living in Iraq while Saddam Hussein was the dictator there. Since being 'liberated' by the USA and the coalition of the willing this number has more than halved>>

Yes dear (to borrow from your address to Hasbeen on another thread) Saddam for all his faults kept the Imans & Mullahs & their henchmen in check.

<<Is the author implying because there are atrocities happening elsewhere, there is no need to look at what is happening in Gaza/>>

No dear,more the case of after 2000 threads exposing Zionism or American imperialism it was about time we had an espose on Islam.

Suse,
The IRA were Marxist and Eire is a socialist country, the "troubles" were political in origin, not religious.
Just because a rebel force is drawn from one ethnic or religious group doesn't make it a religious group, were the PFLP a Muslim group? Are Shining Path a Catholic group? Are the Naxalites Hindu?

Wahabism is a political movement exported by Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia is a Zionist entity therefore Hamas, Islamic Jihad, ISIS and all the other splinter groups are a part of the Zionist programme to put pressure on Iran and secure Israeli control of the natural resources in central Asia and North Africa.
The biggest falsehood promoted by the Left is the idea that Israel is a client of the U.S, the complete opposite is true, the U.S, like Saudi Arabia is a client state of Israel.
Anyone with eyes to see knows the truth, it's only stupid Leftists and dopey Muslims who can't understand what's going on.

It is not about Gaza, It is not about Isreal. It is about Jews.

"Israel meanwhile ensures that Jews will never find themselves in the same boat as the abandoned and hapless Christians." Good.

Runner, you identify yourself as a Christian time and time again on this forum. How does being a Christian preclude one from having left/progressive politics? It seems so in your part of the world. The Christians I know, I'm not one, who I admire, take to heart the lessons of Jesus Christ and daily try to live their lives according to his tenets. And are generally speaking rather 'left wing'. Jesus Christ was not a conservative. Those were the Pharisees.

And you are aware that the Jewish faith denies the existence of Jesus Christ, but Islam reveres both Mary and Jesus Christ?
