Agree and Gandhi showed just how effective that could be. And worth all the sacrifices, given the world's largest democracy with a military and and economy to be reckoned with, is the shining legacy!

The ISIS inspired tactic of stabbing selected people with knives is increasingly (from a low base) being used by extremist Sunnis in Australia

- and more rapidly being used by radical Sunni Palestinians in Israel.

93% of Palestinians are Muslim, the vast majority of whom are followers of the Sunni branch of Islam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinians#Religion

The elderly rogue males who make up most of Australia's anti-Jewish rightwing need to realise they are forming an unholy alliance with radical Muslims in condemning Jewish people and Israel. These rogue males feel they are unrepresented in mainstream politics so they take it out on easy targets such as Jewish people.

Irresponsible advice. Any Palestinian advocating the existence of Israel will be murdered by a long queue from local and abroad. ISIS, ISIL, local warlords and whatever.

In other words, McCackie, the answer is to capitulate - that would also include locking the Palestinian women at home, no musical instruments and compulsory beards and mosque attendance. Why don't we do the same in Australia?
