Hi ttbn & SM,

There are around a million Arabs in Israel, I think, who can vote, stand for election, use all the standard public services, and if they wish, be exempted from military duty. Their numbers seem to be growing.

Question: are numbers of Jews, Christians etc., growing in any Muslim country ? Can they vote, or stand for election ? or use standard services ?

i.e. in any Muslim theocracy ?

And as long as Hamas and the PA support the expulsion of all Jews from Israel, as stalking horses for ISIS, they will never get my support. Period.

Due to Germany's and other Eurpean countries' naive invitation for 100,000s of "Syrian" refuges to crowd into Europe Australia agreed to take 12,000.

A big debate is going on that most into Australia should be the most oppressed minority Christians, Yazidis, Zoroastrians and Jews from Syria. Other liberal wets (like PM Turnbull) say Muslims should form a large proportion.

Australian government assurances that all Muslim refugees will be security checked [ http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/paris-attacks-stringent-checks-on-would-be-refugees/story-fni0cx12-1227610082698 ] before entry are rubbish.

Its the young Muslim refugee sons under 10 who form the greatest security threat once they grow up in Australia. By the time they are 16 they are easy meat for IS recruitment - mainly stabbing or shooting policemen in Australia...

Off Topic

Turnbull is so out of touch that he also didn't know, yesterday, that Darwin Port is used by the Australian Navy and US Navy - so he thought it OK that a Chinese company can take over Darwin Port.

Turnbull's ignorance about the key Australian naval base of Darwin has disturbed Obama.

"IT’S no joke when a US president expresses concern about the Australian government’s failure to consult over what Washington sees as a security issue. America is still our most important ally by far....

Washington, the president said, would have appreciated a heads-up over a decision to hand control of the strategically important Port of Darwin for 99 years to a corporation said to be a commercial front for China’s military and communist party."

Basically the Chinese Navy will get prior warning of Australia ship and especially secret submarine movements. This gift to China has occurred on Turnbull's watch.

Turnbull is slipping. Maybe too much high life of a $100 millionaire in Sydney...

You ask:
"How is it that the jews are different from all the other religions in that they get to have their own country exclusively for them?"

As usual you are wrong.

1. Muslims have 57 countries virtually exclusively for them.

2. Jews have one country not exclusively for them in which 20% of the population are overwhelmingly Muslim and the remainder Christian.

Also I have never said Israel is a theocracy. Show me where I said that or withdraw the comment.

I might ask you to answer this question:
"Why do you hate Jews so much?"

Very impressed that you are now conversing in Latin

Pity you can't spell "CETERUM CENSEO CARTHAGINEM ESSE DELENDAM" properly

Spelling it wrong twice was a great feat.

With your apparent Latin skills now revealed for all to see and admire - you might care to spend some time delving into Roman history and tell the Jew-hating detractors frequenting OLO what the Latin terms "Aelia Capitolina", "Palestina Prima","Palestina Secunda","Palestina Tertia"and"Caesarea Maritima" mean.

#mikk and #John Ryan could be two to benefit from your research.

You continue to write so much rubbish about the West Bank. Perhaps you might finally desist if I politely tell you in Latin: "condemnant quod non intellegunt"

The best thing you can really do is take your own advice and tell #mikk and #John Ryan to do likewise:
"Do not bother reading David's articles ever again"

Pete,

'Off topic' yes, but needing to be said. How out-of-control-and-Left is Turnbull when a pathetic Democrat like Obama has to take him to task for even thinking it was OK to hand over Darwin harbour to a potential enemy for 99 years. Being a millionaire doesn't require brains, apparently. It must be that silly grin.

Hi ttbn

Yes look at Turnbull's ignorant smirk
http://www.news.com.au/national/politics/the-nt-news-delivers-cracking-response-to-barack-obama/news-story/b2ea49819f86e2ab8579c4667b4d3f3c

The above news article goes on to say: "WHEN the world’s most powerful person asks to be kept in the loop, he probably isn’t expecting to be directed to Australia’s most irreverent newspaper. But that’s exactly what happened when US President Barack Obama had a quiet word to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull about the sale of the Port of Darwin.

Obama was reportedly disappointed that the US was not consulted on the sale of the port to a Chinese company as it is close to US military assets in the region.

Apparently he only found out about it after reading a report in the New York Times and asked Turnbull to “Let us know next time”."

Well I suppose once Turnbull gets bored playing at being PM (and the trips) he can return to his business interests.

Richer than Palmer, they say.
