"diver dan's post is an example of the kind of 'hate speech' that is now being considered by federal parliament. Why does Online Opinion publish this kind of ignorant and bigoted statement that so distorts readers' understanding of the complexity of the current tragic situation in the Middle East? Blowy"

I really want to wind back this course of spastic thinking.
It's bad enough in the rest of the world, but here [rolls eyes]

'Hate speech'? It might be ignorant and bigoted but that's what you get from the right on Israel...

'Making claims of hate speech to justify cancelling opinions'
- Maybe you and the eKaren should just make your own forum?
Then we can all just focus on what the pair of you have to say?

'Online Opinion publish'
No, these are READERS COMMENTS.
- Take the eKaren attitude elsewhere.

'ignorant and bigoted'
- There's no law against ignorant and bigoted.
Get over yourself.

You can either write a non-ignorant or non-bigoted response refuting his arguments on merit, or you can take your 'Hate speech' and 'Cancel instead of Counter-Argument Culture' and shove it.

If you wish to cancel comments and opinions you don't like, then none of us will ever get the full story.

I don't support Dans position on Israel, I support the Palestinians right to their own state and freedom from oppression - but I will fight tooth and nail, that he is allowed to have his bs 'ignorant and bigoted' comments, whether people like yourself like it or not.

Definitely one of your better posts…

Blowy
Turn off the ABC: your a classic example of the ABC contaminated!
I would also guess you vote for the Labor Party too, would I be correct?
Dare I hazard a guess.. the Greens.
Keep on keeping on with the Rainbow blindfold!

If Israeli is to be a Democracy where life within its boundaries is possible, then further than kicking out the Palestinians from Gaza, sending them to a better life among those that their subhuman toxic view of a world, match the ethics of Genghis Khan and the murderous Mongols, which the Arabs find difficult to abandon, the next on the list of desperados are Lebanese of Southern Lebanon.

"If Israeli is to be a Democracy..."
- That's interesting.

It does not matter what agreement is finally made, Hamas will come
back again with another name and start it all again.
It is in the religion, kill the Jews and force the rest of the world
to submit to Islam. Read the Koran.
It has been a very successful policy for 1400 years so why should
they abandon it now ?

Watch Germany; they have already started demanding a Caliphate and
Sharia Law.
They will get elements of it and then start mission creep

What Netanyahu must do, and what he will continue to
do - are two different things.

The Netanyahu extremist government has not, and
will not give up their occupation and control.
Nor are they willing to compromise. Everything
must be on their terms only. And, under these
circumstances, unless the US ends its financial
and military support, this war will continue.

A two state solution is not possible under these
circumstances unless the US steps in and forces
Netanyahu's hand. Hamas is willing to negotiate
if Israel ends its occupation of Gaza and its
bombardment.

Under Netanyahu and his government this does not
look likely to happen any time soon.
