Relocating Israel in Australia: crazy or not? : Comments
By Brian Holden, published 20/11/2008The idea of relocating Israel to the Kimberley is not so crazy if the cost of the relocation is less than the cost of Israel staying where it is.

Can they bring their nuclear weapons, their religious prejudices etc.Their philosophy like the Muslims and the Christians are just too narrow for our country.Just imagine 7 million Jews who could inflict their will on us all.Anyone for revolution?

Israelis number 7.5 million – a third of Australia’s current population; all in the Kimberleys, the majestic magic of the Kimberleys.
How these dreams grow with age. Half a century ago, the number was a “mere” 50,000, as noted in “Safe Haven, Immigration and Settlement” - Following the Evian Conference (1938 in France), the London-based Freeland League (founded in 1935) proposed the purchase of seven million acres in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia (encompassing the properties of Connor, Durack and Doherty) as a farming settlement for a potential 50 000 refugees from Nazism. The League envisaged that a vanguard party of 500 to 600 ‘pioneers’ would construct homes, a power station, irrigation works, etc, pending the arrival of the main body of colonists. Dr Isaac Nachman Steinberg (1888–1957) was sent out from London in 1939 to investigate the scheme’s feasibility and to enlist governmental and communal endorsement. A skilled emissary, he stayed in Australia throughout the war and later wrote a book on his experience, Australia: The Unpromised Land. Steinberg won the support of churches, leading newspapers, many prominent political and public figures (including Western Australian Premier J C Willcock) and a number of Jewish leaders. The project came to nothing in the end, however, primarily because of concerns that the settlers would drift inevitably and in large numbers to the cities. Forty-seven per cent of the public opposed the scheme in a 1944 opinion poll and, in July of that year, Prime Minister Curtin formally rejected the proposal. Curtin’s decision had bipartisan political support Posted by colinsett, Sunday, 23 November 2008 6:36:40 AM

Dear JohnJ
No, there were not 'many logical fallacies' in my post. I'll try to prune it down to something you can see more clearly. 1/ The “Kill the Jews” mantra is found in authentic accepted hadith of Islam. Here is a link which will take you to it. http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/muslim/041.smt.html#041.6985 Scroll to number 6985 Oh wait.. you won't find it there.. my mistake....NOT. It is only 'not' there because the Simon Weisenthal centre stirred up such a fuss about genocidal holy books....that the USC Muslim Students Association was FORCED to remove them, but they did not repudiate the content. They complained about unwarranted censorship. Here is a link to another Muslim site which is not under the USA hate speech jurisdiction. http://www.iiu.edu.my/deed/hadith/muslim/041_smt.html Please scroll to number 6985 and you will find it. Perhaps you think this is a tiny storm in a tea cup? No..it isn't. http://www.terrorismawareness.org/petitions/195/petition-for-hadith-reform/ is a call for repudiation. The Jihad watch site simply quote the real texts...but you, by your sad bias (and perhaps bigotry?) just said it's from Jihad Watch..oh what do you expect from 'them'.... but you need to learn to look closer.. at original sources, which were accurately quoted. (as shown above) The real issue here is public awareness, or rather the lack thereof. The Quran and Hadith are the moral equivalent of Mein Kampf. That is a fact, not an opinion. (If language has any meaning) When you have the post holocaust Weisenthal centre and Horowitz going after them, and many others.. you know something is rotten in the target. Here is an Islamic source (see “The Four Sources”) which describes the 'sources of authority' in Islam. The issue of 'last hour/kill the Jews' is abundantly clear and unambiguous. All we need now is for you, (CJ and ilk) -to understand this. Posted by Polycarp, Sunday, 23 November 2008 9:03:54 AM

All of the above comments are based on one perception – traditional land rights.
When astronauts look down on the planet they ask just one question – “Why cannot we live as one family on this one rock in the limitless ocean of space?” Only having the one global government will save us from our near extinction. There can be no hope for humanity while we brake the one human species up into nations which automatically leads to an uneven distribution of resources and the existence of a military. In time the Kimberly will belong to the world - and the world government will decide what to do with it in the best interest of the human species. I have been waiting for a blogger to come in with the bigger picture, but none have. Posted by Brian Holden, Sunday, 23 November 2008 10:16:48 AM

Porky wouldn't recognise a logical fallacy in his rants if he tripped over it - as he so often does, metaphorically speaking.
<< The Quran and Hadith are the moral equivalent of Mein Kampf. That is a fact, not an opinion. (If language has any meaning) >> Godwin's Law, anyone? Brian Holden: << When astronauts look down on the planet they ask just one question – “Why cannot we live as one family on this one rock in the limitless ocean of space?” Only having the one global government will save us from our near extinction. >> I had a feeling that your article was written from another planet. "One global government" is about as likely in the foreseeable future as is an Israeli Kimberley. It would be far easier for the 7 million Israelis to renounce their Zionist aspirations and become absorbed in the global Jewish diaspora - and how likely do you think that is?
