The 'Israeli take' : Comments

By Colin Andersen, published 28/7/2006

To get a more nuanced understanding of events in the Middle East, one has to turn to the Internet.

Narcissist, take your pills. Now!

You know what you doctor told you about not taking them on time.

Of course Andersen thanks the internet. Using it, like anyone else, he can quickly find anything, equally unsubstantiated and unreliable, to justify his anti-Israeli bias.

Do people remember those pesky refugees who came to our shores who asked for our help? They came in peace, came from being terrorised and tortured and what did we do? We locked them up, we whined that they were uninvited, that they would take our jobs and homes. Were we right? No we weren't because not one Australian has ever been evicted or usurped by one refugee.

When one-eyed supporters defend Israel I am yet to detect why that is. Can anyone explain why Israel has the right to steal the land from Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, be told hundreds of times to leave and be unmolested? Remember here in Australia the bull about aborigines stealing our homes? In Lebanon, Palestine and Syria that is exactly was Israel is doing.

Do you support Israel to support the Jewish people alone? I support the Jewish people and always have and cannot detect any anti-Jew sentiment in Anderson's piece, but I also support the Palestinians right to have their land back just as I support the aboriginal land rights here.

61% of the world's Jews live elsewhere and the loudest voices I hear complaining on the BBC and ABC have English and American accents - they are the illegal settlers on someone else's land yet feel that is OK.

Now explain exacly why you think foreigners and Israelis alike have the right to do that when we won't even let the aborigines have their own land without whining like petulant children.

Then explain precisely how anyone could possibly push Israel into the sea and murder 6 million people. We in the west tried that for 6 years yet the Jews survived and multiplied.

Irfan,

Look at the last post above, see where it states:

"Then explain precisely how anyone could possibly push Israel into the sea and murder 6 million people. We in the west tried that for 6 years yet the Jews survived and multiplied."

Narcissist has to take pills?

Perhaps some of those on this forum should perhaps stop taking so many?

Do you think many Australians would appreciate being linked to Nazi atrocities? (especially given that Australia fought them?).

see you tomorrow,

Inshallah (Irf you now know my meaning)

Mainstream media may not be much good at reporting the news objectively, but it sure is good at setting Australians against one another.

You can find anything to suit your needs on the internet: it is used by all sorts of people, and not all are of sufficient standing to be published anywhere else.

To cut a long story short, Israel was just waiting for an opportunity to do something it had been planning for some time (according to Mr. Andersen and internet writers) and the murderous, cowardly Hezbollah terrorists just happened to give them that opportunity.

It would seem best to reserve our judgement on these claims – they could be right, they could be wrong. But, what is absolutely irrefutable is the fact that Hezbollah terrorists did snatch Israelis and they have attacked and are continuing to attack Israel from behind a shield of Lebanese civilians.

No matter what theories Mr. Andersen and other unknowns put up, Israel is defending itself against attack, just as it has always had to.
