Aries 54,

You can't find it in yourself to congratulate someone you agree with, but you are up for any opportunity to criticise someone who takes a different view. My opinion, and the opinions of others, are none of your business. I/we don't put up opinions for your approval or disapproval. Our ‘business’ is with the contributor. Your's is evidently picking arguments.

I have no interest in what you believe or don't believe. You are not a contributor, you are, like me, just a poster with opinions that aren't worth arguing about because they don't change. They get expressed, and that's it.

Your atheism is entirely your business, as is your non-acceptance of violence for any reason - although, the way things are heading, you are going to need others with different ideas to protect you and yours.

You are right to be “deeply concerned”, but not by Donald Trump or the rough men who do violence to protect us so that we can sleep peacefully in our beds and still live the normal lives too many of us think they will always enjoy without having to defend them.

"The “dignity of life” is an excuse used here to say no to war.
Tell that to Muslims, who love death."

There's this Palestinian family, they live in Gaza.
A man named Ibrahim Jeradeh.
He took care of the Gaza War Cemetary for half a century, and his father took care of it before him.
Now his sons Issam and Mohammed take care of the war cemetery.
3 Generations looking after these graves for over a century, where 263 Australians were laid to rest.

Anyway... the people you defend went in there with a bulldozer...

You talk of Christian morals, which ones?
You imply that 'thou shalt no kill' one doesn't apply.
The same ones where you claim to be a Christian but want all the Palestinians wiped out?

Did you know that the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem has been under the guardianship of two Muslim families, the Joudeh and Nuseibeh families for centuries?

Now, tell me about 'Iran's support for terror all over the world'
Did you make that up, did you just hear it somewhere and repeat it like a broken record or do we just hate and label as terrorists anyone who stands up for Palestinians, because that's really all it seems to be.

Those 'terrorists' certainly haven't done anything the Israelis haven't done, and probably done it first.

You scream 'October 7!'
- like that even means anything now...
You claim intelligence but you fail to realise it's been going on since Day one.

>>Meanwhile, the Zionist soldiers who invaded Palestine in 1948:
"I didn't take prisoners, even if they surrendered, I shot all the Arabs. I had a machine gun with 250 rounds and I fired at everyone until I ran out of bullets, I was a murderer."<<

What's changed?
- Nothing.

Just a continuation of a remove by-any-means policy that's been going on since Israels founding.

More people in both the U.S. and Australia support the Palestinians.
Where is this democracy we all supposedly love?
- Locking Aussies up for a foreign nation.

There is no justification for war. The notion of "pre-emptive war", claiming one must strike first before the bad guy has a chance to do so fails completely. The killing of civilians also cannot be justified as necessary, to get at the bad guys, this is what the Zionist have used in Gaza, and now Trump is using it to justify attacking Iran.

Dear ttbn

Just to remind you - as you like to make the distinction - this site is littered with commentators (like you and me) who have replied to the comments of other commentators (i.e. not contributors). You, your very self have engaged in this activity on many occasions, so please stop being the hypocrite when I make a comment about your comment.

Forget about JESUS, the new Messiah is with us, its DONALD. The fool has even taken to posting himself as a Jesus type figure in appropriate white and red robs and all, coming from the heavenly clouds and healing the sick! The only sick(o) in the photo is Crazy Donald.

Where are all the devoted disciples of Crazy Donald hiding out these days?
