Wacky Wong is at again, completely naive about war, which is being waged in the Middle East after Hamas started it by slaughtering Israeli citizens, including children and babies.

Now this stupid Labor Senator wants Israel to go easy, even help, Palestinian civilians.

While what is happening to civilians in Gaza, thanks to Hamas's starting of the war, is regretable, Israel is not responsible for its enemy's civilians in anyway whatsoever. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not a fit person to be in the Australian Parliament, let alone Foreign Minister.

ttbn,

What a load of minimising apologetic rubbish from you as usual...." even help, Palestinian civilians" perish the thought of helping women and children!..."regretable" (sic)...not responsible for its enemy's civilians (that would appear so as they happily murder thousands)...."Anyone who thinks otherwise is not a fit person to be in the Australian Parliament, let alone Foreign Minister." you are full of it!

What a tragic situation:

Jews have been blamed and scapegoated for any number of
real or imagined crimes throughout their long history,
including the killing of Jesus Christ.

Now we see a similar argument being used of "Blame the
Arabs." It's a similar catchcall for Israel and its
staunchest supporters.

Wars, acts of terrorism, and craven political decisions
made by governments, or individuals are being attributed to
both sides. And sadly only one side is receiving greater
financial and military support with little pressure
bring applied.

"The Arabs don't want peace." "The Arabs want to drive the
Jews into the sea." "The Arabs use children as human shields."
"The Arabs won't uphold their side of the deal."

And so it goes.

The blame game is played well.

This impulse of collective blame was best summed up by Golda
Meir. But - I'm going to paraphrase what she supposedly said:

"There will only be peace when BOTH sides will love their
children more than they hate each other."

Foxy, does not understand the conflict of ideology that permeates the middle East. She needs to spend time in Iran and see how they treat women with a voice like hers. Then go to Isael and see how they treat women. Just one example, how about a travel experience Foxy.

Women don't have to travel to the Middle East.
They can simply work in Canberra, or at any
other state or federal level in any -
institution or organization here in Australia,
and receive a variety of different treatments
to men.

If I was to ask for equal treatment on this forum -
I would have as much success as a black man asking
to join the Ku Klux Klan.

As for how women are treated in Israel?

I suggest you Josephus do a bit more research.
The book by Miriam Margolyes "This Much Is True,"
would be a good start. Followed by Ilan Pappe's
"The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine." or
Antony Lowenstein's "My Israel Question."
