On Payman, there is nothing more self-entitled than getting elected to the Senate via the long-established rules and processes of the Labor Party only to leave at the first moment you disagree with them.

What a child!

Multiculturalism is the worst thing to have been inflicted on Australia and the West. We now look different, speak different languages, have different values, different religions, - and nothing in common. Just being “all humans” is not enough to keep the country together. Australia is falling apart.

And still the odds and sods immigrants flow in, thanks to a political class interested only in itself, not its country and certainly not its people. Too stupid to realise that they will disappear, too.

Of course, ‘the people’ have taken the abuse with barely a whimper.

Israel is currently at war with Palestine and Lebanon and in the past with Egypt, Jordan and Syria. Helped by US munitions and no doubt satellite intelligence. If it was a suburban neighbourhood perhaps they're the ones who should move. Israel not only gets journalists sacked like Antoinette Latouf but their own special antisemitism envoy. At least the Voice and gay marriage went to a vote.

If Hamas killed 1,500 the IDF have recently killed 40,000 but that's apparently proportional. My guess is that surviving children might end up supporting Hamas. The next POTUS may not support Israel in which case Australia has not backed a winner. This is a shameful episode.

Of course, it is the received wisdom among the Australian "intelligentsia" (hi, Laura Tingle) that the peasants are terribly, terribly racist, and what will fix this is massive multicultural influxes from [racist] India and China.

Even after 1m migrants in 24m, Adam Bandt perceives a "disgusting, migrant bashing race to the bottom". Instead of him being taken off to a padded cell, his views are almost mainstream, he's admired for his "courage".

A very relevant article.

The White Australia policy was implemented to keep the peace from Anti Chinese riots.
Interestingly, the Darwin riots of late 1800,s have disappeared from Wikipedia. Censorship at work.
Multiculturalism is a baby from its birth in early sixties., but all politics is wedded to it.

The urgent issue before us is dealing with Islam on our shores. All Muslims have a propensity towards anti-Western Think: And Muslim women are forbidden to think for themselves, meaning the Muslim Women’s voice is in-genuine. There are NO soft Muslims.

Posted by Taswegian,

Disappointing. Usually you slightly left lean makes sense.
You’ve swallowed the radicals bait with your post above, which is coated with Arab oil money, and has manifested itself as rabid antisemitism.

Jews are now strongly advised to leave France ASAP. There are rising calls for Jews to leave Canada, and with a Muslim population in Australia favouring them 8 to one in Australia, this trend will soon manifest here. The rise in Antisemitism in the US is unprecedented, along with acts of violence spreading towards Christian places of worship.
This is truthful injustice which your views support, shame on you!

Graham. I suggest you go and read some of the real history of Palestine in Adel Safty's book Might over Right. Before the Balfour Declaration, Jews made up less than 10 percent of the Palestine population and you can hardly cite the Old Testament as an authorative justification for letting them take over Arab land.

The little girl from the West should be applauded for the stand she is taking against the murder of the legitimate women and children of Gaza.
Taswegian and I seem to be voices crying in the wilderness in the name of justice.

A multicultural West is a contradiction in terms; the only West that can be accommodating to other cultures is a West that knows itself and, on the strength of that understanding, encounter others. (David Gress, ‘From Plato to Nato’)
