And speaking of clap-trap, here’s Dave bumping in with his words of wisdom and his Hamas flag of recognition for the good guys of the ME.

Or…

Anyone on for a tune played on the Qatar?

Dave will oblige…take it away Dave!

This protest was not some outpouring of well-meaning humanitarianism. There were chants of “death to the IDF”, and posters sporting photos of the murderous islamofascist Khamenei and the genocidal slogan “from the river to the sea”.

The irony is that these protesters in effect support a regime which tortures and murders anyone brave enough to protest against it.

The author parrots the slogan “there is no pride in genocide”. Perhaps he could explain that to Hamas, which committed genocidal acts on 7 October, and has an explicit agenda of murdering Jews and destroying Israel. Or Hamas’ puppet-masters in Iran, who have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel. But of course this was not mentioned, nor the rapes, mutilations and murders committed by Hamas, nor its ongoing war crime in retaining the hostages which is the most important reason why this ghastly conflict is still going on.

I’m not willing or able to “bridge differences” with the ideology on display in this piece.

Albanese has finally announced today that Australia WILL recognise a state called Palestine. The ridiculous man does not seem to realise that something has to actually exist to be recognised, and neither Israel nor Hamas, or the PA want two states, the Arabs really looking forward to removing Israel from the map.

How on Earth did even the Labor Party get to have such a bozo to muck up their party as well as the country.

I support an eventual two-state solution but also agree with ttbn that Palestine in no way resembles an actual state, and wishful thinking will not make it one. Premature recognition of the “state” of Palestine makes an ultimate two-state solution less, not more, likely; especially of it does not entail mutual recognition by both Israel and Palestine.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently commented that France’s declared plan to unilaterally recognise Palestine has prolonged the conflict. Hamas sees it as a huge victory, and has walked away from what had been moderately successful peace negotiations because it sees the opportunity to make further demands on Israel. I’m not normally one to quote officials of the Trump administration, but the logic of his argument and evidence seem fairy persuasive.

Albanese’s move to follow suit is a serious mistake.

Society would be so much better without religion. Having faith is a good thing if it can be kept away from religion. However, we're now entering the era when we have noting to have faith in, Governments in particular.
The march for Palestine is doing nothing more then display the number of morons in our society.
If Palestinians & Jews in Australia are so passionate as they think they are then why for crying out loud are they here ? They could have all their conflicts back home instead of giving us the $hits with it !
