Stoolreflux,

You whined imbecilically "That would render any Israeli airstrike into Gaza as not a defensive action. Fine by me."

You antisemitic halfwit, there was no attack on Gaza when Hamas launched their

It is only a moron that claims that Israel is assembling death squads to shoot Palestinians indiscriminately. Every single war between Gaza and Israel has been started by Hamas whose prime aim is to kill as many Jews as possible.

Clearly, anti-Semites are not going to admit that they are anti-Semites. Some might even have fooled themselves that they are not anti-Semites. But they are not fooling anyone else.

Thousands of people turning out in Sydney to show support for Israel, makes the terrorists lovers look pretty silly.

shadowminister,

The great regurgitator.

You really never leave the RWNJ script do you. Black and white take on things after you get told what to say then absolutely zero deviation from the message there after.

What happens to your brains? Is the some kind of lobotomy that occurs when you go hard right?

When it comes down to it your take devolves into 'atrocities permit atrocities but only for my side'.

Elements of the attack by Hamas were undeniably atrocities just as previous attacks/operations on Gaza by Israel have been atrocities by any measure.

It is the trading of atrocities which has to stop and far more thought has to be given to the victims on both sides.

Oh god!

SR, the greatest singer from the lefty hymn book on the net accusing others of following a script. If anyone has had a lobotomy making them one eyed it is SR.

I read the conversation that journalist Patricia
Karvelas had with our Foreign Minister Penny Wong.
I was impressed with the sensible take that the
Foreign Minister displayed in trying to present a
balanced viewpoint.

It is a dreadful situation. And one that we all would
like to see end. There is no place in Australia for prejudice
or hatred of any kind and we all should stand firmly
against any sort of vile language.

This conflict in that region has been a long-standing
dispute with long-standing suffering and violence on all
sides. If only a just and enduring solution could be found
which recognizes the legitimate aspirations of both the
Jewish and Palestinian peoples.

But it appears that this won't be happening any time soon.
What we are seeing now is dreadful. Nothing justifies the
violence or tha taking of hostages, the killing of
civilians, the awful scenes being engaged in. It needs to
stop.

If only the people on both sides would say - "Enough!
Stop doing this in my name!" "We want this to end!"
But, unfortunately, this doesn't look like it will
happen anytime soon.
