Happy New Year David

Nice to see you're onto a new subject in the New Year :)

2015 was a good year for Israel - what with Russia, doing a sterling job against Israel's worst enemies in Syria (ie. IS and other Sunni groups). Assad is a bit, well alot, on the nose but he is state-based predictable and traditional (for Syria).

A belated Happy Hanukkah (December 6-14) 2015.

BooHoo David,
I think you need a tissue for your issue.
If you don't like the labeling laws and think they are racist and offensive then write to Bibi instead and ask him politely to end the occupation of Palestine.
I'm sure the people living there find it far more racist and offensive than the "Made in" labels of food products.

Israel ultimately created all its problems itself.
Don't whinge about BDS when Israel itself has used boycotts against other countries.
This issue is the equivalent of a cry baby / spoiled brat whinge.

Clutching at straws here David. I'm not sure that the UN ever had any legal right to give away the territory of any sovereign nation, but particularly one where the borders been constantly redefined by competing colonial powers.

And given that the nation state of Israel stands on patently purloined Ground, the trade embargos should simply ramp up and amplify until the Jewish nation comes to a peaceful arrangement with the neighbors who used to/still have a genuinely legal sovereign claim to the land on which Israel now stands and ever seeks to expand on this or that spurious and contestable claim.

You can whitewash all you like but even if any of your argument holds water, nowhere is it written you have the right to expel, kill, maim, people who have legally occupied their land for millennia.

That is the nub of the EU contention and thus far all you have achieved David is to persuade the rest of us, they are the only ones standing on firm moral ground! And given a fair and reasonable reading of recent history, perfectly legal ground as well.
Rhrosty.

Don't worry about your critics Davo.

They're just a bunch of good for nothing genital non-Jews.

And Aussies don't even have nukes. As Tom Jones says "My My My Dimona" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQIK3Te9Coo . Wish Oz had the Jewish Bomb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Israel#Dimona_1956.E2.80.931965

Europe's inconsistencies have several arteries feeding its immoral behaviour.
Most compelling are

1..whitewashing their Colonial past

2.. ever increasing Muslim population with voting power

3..and just plain old continuation of 2000 years Anti-Semitism that morphed into a Political Correct slander of Anti-Israel

Putin has Israel shaking in their boots. He's routed ISIS in Syria, which is a Western created terrorist organisation. The Israeli terrorist machine no longer has any clothes.

Google, 'five dancing Israelis.' Also " Our purpose was to document the event "
