Another name for NSW voters to remember at their next election is Yasmin Catley, Police Minister, also responsible for anti-terrorism (seriously), who is now denying that she advised Jews to stay at home, and that she OPPOSED the lighting up of the Opera House in Israeli colours.

Premier Minns, who has shown up as being responsible and reasonable so far, really needs to do something about that woman, who came out from council library shelves to a position she is not fit for.

You must have a lot of spare time, fossicking out all those videos that most of us are not going to watch. You have always made your thoughts and opinions clear, which is what OLO is all about. But, lining up where you got your thoughts and opinions from - plus thoughts and opinions that are the same as yours, is not going to make a jot of difference to posters who have different thoughts and opinions.

Given what can be done with AI these days, no one and nothing can be relied on unless they are well known to you - friends, family, and well-known public figures, for example; plus what you actually see in real time, real life.

Give yourself a break. You gain nothing by trying to put people 'right'. Nothing you come up with in my case, for one example, will change my mind on Israel and Hamas terrorism. It is obvious that other posters are the same on both sides of the argument.

Talking about one picture being worth a thousand words?

The link given below is worth a read. Although it's not
recent, it's relevant to what's happening today.
It reminds us that the conflict
can only be resolved with negotiations based on mutual
recognition and compromise.

Another reminder of how urgent that task is:

http://theguardian.com/world/2008/dec/18/israelandthepalestinians-pressandpublishing

"Eyal Waldman, the Israeli high-tech magnate, astounded the tech industry and the entire Arab world by creating research and development centers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, all while employing hundreds of Palestinian developers. On Saturday, Hamas murdered his daughter Daniel."

Appeasement never works.

Hi ttbn,
'she OPPOSED the lighting up of the Opera House in Israeli colours.'
- I actually oppose that as well. If you're against pro-Palestinian Muslims going on a rampage, then it's ill-conceived and reckless to stir the pot.
Beyond that I don't wish to see any virtue-signally crap like rainbows, indigenous flags or even worse foreign countries plastered all over the Opera House.
Aussie colours or an Aussie flag or NOTHING.
It's all just divisive and will lead to inevitable conflict.
- That's my opinion on it, and you're very much entitled to disagree.

"You must have a lot of spare time, fossicking out all those videos that most of us are not going to watch."
- It's not important to me whether or not people actually look at what I'm presenting. And while some may consider this as being divisive and stirring the pot (which I just argued against) I feel the greater good is served by showing dead civilians and children.

More to the point, millions of people are viewing all this stuff, and so sharing it gives everyone a better take on what is actually happening and what the people of the worlds response is to it.

Beyond that, I could fill my thread comment quota daily and it still wouldn't cover all the horrible scenes that I see.

I hope the images of dead babies and kids makes everyone sick to their stomach enough to stand opposed to it.
When these scenes go unchallenged, that's when we stop being human.
Take note that I also did post images of dead Israelis when this started several days ago, and if I find more of that content I'll post it as well, but right now the space is full of images of dead Palestinian kids.

The cause of this conflict is the Israeli occupation, and the cause of the Russia / Ukraine conflict is the Wests expansion of NATO into Ukraine.
This is the reason why millions of people are dead.

Village idiot,

More lies I see. Firstly the US military does not make or use the types of rockets being fired by Hamas at civilians so they can't supply them.

Your lies are disgusting.

I see that Hamas is preventing civilians from evacuating from North Gaza because it needs its human shields.

"Appeasement never works."

That is so typical of the one-sided biased mindset of supposedly Christian or Israeli supporters.

Was the real motive 'unity', or was it 'scab labour'.
You keep them in a concentration camp for 75 years - (generations) and call them animals.
(When the truth is if you kept me in a bloody concentration camp for generations killed my family and used food, water and electricity as weapons against me then I'd probably end up eventually acting like an animal myself, thank goodness I don't live there)
And you expect them to be grateful being used as cheap labour?
- Slaves of the Jews, just exactly the way the Israelis teach their kids the Palestinians purpose is?
Appeasement? That's shameful.

The Israeli occupation spits in the face of my Great Grandfather a 1st Australian Light Horseman and all the other ANZACS that fought in the second battle of Gaza in 1917, and other places (Gallipoli)

To keep the place a concentration camp for all these years is a complete disgrace.
I seriously doubt that he fought for endless suffering.
What the Zionist State of Israeli has done there and continues to do is worse than anything that was ever done to them.
