All I do is simply have an opinion, nothing more, nothing less David.
Sure I have criticisms, nothing that isn't unfair in my opinion

It's you and others like you that think that people like me that hold a different opinion to you, one based on what many believe its valid merits - makes me some kind of terrorist that needs to be exposed, vilified and prosecuted.

And you'd rather play 'Cancel culture' and outlaw criticism, than engage with people in those criticisms, always playing the blame game, and accusing others of doing what you're doing.

Google? Were the palestinians promised self determination if they fought against the ottomans

AI Overview
Yes, Arab leaders, including those representing the inhabitants of the region that became Palestine, were promised independence and self-determination by the British in exchange for rebelling against the Ottoman Empire during World War I, primarily through the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence (1915–1916)

When was the Balfour Declaration signed again David?
1917 wasn't it?
About a week after my Great Grandfather earned his DSO in the Second Battle of Gaza.

Promises were made to the existing inhabitants in order to get them to rise up against the Ottomans prior to any official deal being made to make it a homeland for the Jewish people.

Why should I support the establishment of the Jewish state if the people already living there are denied their own self determination?
Why should I accept Israels right to exist if you can't live in peace?
Once I say 'I accept Israels right to exist' then the next phase of the braingame is 'Proclaiming Israel's a right to defend itself'
Which you've been using to justify atrocities forever.

Jewish and Zionist lobby groups in Australia have attacked and vilified people of conscience from speaking their minds as well as people reporting the truth, even going so far as criminalising speaking the truth.

What does Bondi have to do with Albanese's stance on Palestine?
Care to explain that for me?

Google? how long has the labor government supported a 2 state solution

AI Overview
The Australian Labor Party (ALP) has held a long-standing, decades-long commitment to a two-state solution, with its, and Australia's, support for the principle dating back to 1947.

It's seems in line with long standing policy positions older than Israel itself, as well as election promises.

Muslim leaders reveal Albanese said Palestinian recognition a first-term ‘priority’

You expect the PM to go against electoral promises made to the Australian people, right?
Isn't that what you're 'demanding' David?

I bet Benjamin Netanyahu knew damn well diaspora Jews mite come under increased attack with what he was doing in Gaza for the last yew years, but that didn't stop him.
Why even blame everyone else.

Gaza caused Bondi.
Israel manufactures terrorists itself.
Zionist ideology, Israeli actions and willingness to silence any vilify any valid criticism manufactures anti-semites.
That's the ugly truth David.

Israel labels human rights organisations as terrorists.
They use human rights claims when it suits their ends and vilify them when they don't.

Israel blows up hospitals
Assassinates journalists
Murders pregnant women and kids
Attacks people in their homes
Denies people food, water and medicine
Starts conflict against all it's neigbours
Their leaders engage in hate filled religious rhetoric

You can't defend the indefensible.
All you to do is scream 'Anti-Semite!'

Collectively point the finger at everyone else
'It's those Jew hating UN! and all the other Jew-haters fault!'
But no-one should ever collectively criticise them, right.

All you have is double standards and hypocricies.

I wonder: will Armchair Critic's non-stop antisemitic "opinions" be targeted by Albanese’s hate speech legislation?

I don't think anyone would think that language would stay the same for a thousand years.
We know that words and pronunciation could and would change a lot over that time.
When we use a modern word to describe something, it should automatically encompass all the equivalents which were in use prior to that time.
Logical.

This is the expression of a general idea. It does not apply to anyone in particular.
When opinions are expressed, it reveals the thought processes at play in the writer's mind.
Which in turn leads to revealing the basic principles the person uses in his everyday life.
Which can be a worrying revelation.
Sometimes they reveal severe limitations on an understanding of self, and also of the world which surrounds the writer.
It reveals that some instinctive attitudes are over-emphasised in that person's mind.
So instead of having an even and healthy spread of instinctive reactions, these are out of balance.
Which as I said, is worrying.

It seems that today I am in reflective mood.
We need to be able to accept that what happens around us is average and thus 'normal'.
We should not be unduly upset by anything which takes place.
Even though there are almost daily reports of tragedy reported in the news.
We still need to keep an open and steadily calm outlook on life around us.
This doesn't mean that the wider community should not attempt to locate and isolate those who do harm.
Indeed: harm-doers should be actively and positively separated from the rest of society.
But to over-react to tragedies is not helpful.
To keep re-living the horror of past tragedies, after a period of mourning by those harmed, is also to be strongly avoided.
It shows a very unhealthy mental outlook.
Accept the past. Learn from it. Leave it behind.
We should not attempt to keep the past alive.
