Just saw Joe Biden on TV pontificating that 'Silence is complicity'
Geez, that's the pot calling the Kettle black isn't is.

75 years of occupation with the US vetoing anything that might change the situation for the better, and he says that.

Western leaders are so full of it and out of touch with reality it's astounding.

People complain that Russia uses the UN to veto everything.
The US is certainly no better.

And as for religions...
One thing I've noticed is that those who identify more closely as Christians are all the ones chanting 'Kill them all'
Figure that.
The same damn people turn the other cheek when other people are getting bombed into oblivion.

ooks to me like selective outrage, by people who should really be indentifying as 'hypocrites' not 'Christians'

(And FYI, is case you're wondering ttbn, this comment is not specifically directed at you. I'm seeing this all across the board from individuals right up to the US leadership)

Everyone has a right to an opinion, even a right to hold a preference and hate if that's how they feel, but I agree that right stops at the point people start calling for violence.

These conflicts are inevitable so long the truth of how things came to be is obfuscated, and the media is more interested in playing to it's own biases and getting ratings from the guillible rather than informing is viewers, even when the truth is ugly.

Bit of a cheek SR calling SM a regurgitator, when all SR himself does is regurgitate left wing rubbish from wackjobs on Google.

Then there is his usual abuse, which is the only thing original and his own: "What happens to your brains? Is the (sic) some kind of lobotomy that occurs when you go hard right?"

Then, of course, he compares Israeli self-defence with Hamas atrocities like burning and beheading babies.

This rabbit was born 'lobotomised'.

The Israeli Government has asked Egypt to open their borders to fleeing women and children from Gaza, this Egypt has done near its border. Ihey have set up a check point to ensure the terrorists of Hamas is not entering Egypt. This will allow Israel to search out armed Hamas and military weapons stockpiles and destroy them. I have two family grandsons in the Israeli armed forces and know they do not wish to commit war crimes as does Hamas, murdering unarmed civilians and children.

Well said SteeleRedux, Foxy and Armchair Critic so true what you say. Unfortunately there are those on here who believe to remedy one wrong, the solution is to commit another wrong.

Fancy. Australian Jews being told to stay at home because their safety can't be guaranteed. That's what they were told by the wollopers in NSW.

Their safety couldn't be guaranteed because the same wollopers were standing around watching an illegal riot by terrorist supporters celebrating Hamas atrocities against Israeli civilians.

All this happened under the ministership of an ex-council library assistant called Yasmin Catley, who deserves to be tarred and feathered, and driven out of town.

This sheila is also in charge of counter terrorism. Can you believe it!

As one commentator said, the wollopers now only go around scaring priests and people sitting quietly on park benches.

And arresting a man with a furled Israeli flag.

Lord help Australia. The people paid to do it - politicians, police, public servants, certainly won't.

Dear Paul,

The situation on our city streets has gotten rather ugly
unfortunately. Blaming politicians, police, or front-
line staff having to deal with these highly emotional crowds,
has not helped. A man carrying an Israeli flag got
arrested for his own safety, while crowds chanted slurs.
A dreadful situation all round.

Israel is going to have to make a choice. Will it be able to
see that withholding political legitimacy from Palestine
doesn't keep its people safe?

Or will it squander its own legitimacy by destroying Gaza?

Many Middle-Eastern experts feel that Israel
currently has the most nationalist government in Israel's
history and that it is unlikely to exercise restraint in its
response.

They tell us that the destruction of Gaza is not a solution to
this conflict and will only put the lives of civilians - both
Israeli and Palestinians at risk.

Hamas's act of terror should not be legitimised but the broader
call for Palestinian self-determination is something that
experts on the region say Israel must now meaningfully
acknowledge. Because Israel's own legitimacy and claim to be a
democratic, cosmopolitan, and secure society is at stake.
