Yuyutsu,

I'm also concerned about David Fisher.
I hope that he's all right. His health
may be suffering a little from the hot weather
being experienced - particularly in Queensland
where David lives.

Anyway, if anything happened to David - surely someone
would at least let Graham Young know. And Graham, I trust,
would let us all know.

Also, I wonder how O Sung Wu - is doing?
He's another much-appreciated poster of this forum.

Yuyutsu,

I hope that the Israeli people will do the right thing
and have Netanyahu and his government replaced with a
more reasonable government. I hope you're right.

"What purpose does Hamas serve aside from subjugating Gazans"
- Resistance from occupation and land theft.

Are these Jews Anti-Semitic?

There's plenty more where that came from...

Any Jewish people who oppose what Israel is doing right now are labelled Anti-Semitic, and I'm starting to think this whole 'Anti-Semitic' thing may as well have come from the Nazi's themselves.

Herman Goering: "All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."

"Yoav Gallant" - He seems no better than Netanyahu.

Millions of people are protesting what Israel is doing.
But Israel has to pay its protesters just to turn up.

IDF soldiers were wearing t-shirts of pregnant Palestinian women in crosshairs that said "one shot two kills"

An Israeli high school teacher was assaulted and arrested by police for a Facebook post showing sympathy for Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza. He didn't even condemn Israel.
Nazi state.

Never have I seen racism like this. This is Zionism.

http://twitter.com/KeithWoodsYT/status/1723275000054972902
Paul Joseph Watson exposes the hypocrisy of Zionists like Bill Maher, who celebrate forced diversity in Western countries while giving absolute support to a Jewish ethnostate in the Middle East.

Israel will now be synonymous with genocide.
It has spent 75+ years making it's own bed, and can lay in it.
Reap what you sow.

I support diplomacy, negotiations and compromise over war, and I support the human rights of innocent non-combatants on both sides of this conflict to be safe from harm.
You can all take that any way you wish.

Hi Foxy,
Yes I think it's sad sometimes when people stop posting and may have passed away and nothing is heard again.

Do they not have family outside of OLO that could post something for them after they're gone?
- Maybe some don't.
Are they not able to leave some instructions and a message to be posted?
- Maybe many don't wish to.

I hope david f and O Sung Wu are safe and well.

shadowfiddler,

Where to start?

The Hamas leaders are in Qatar because the Israelis and Fatah often refuse them entry back into the Gaza strip.

The Israelis kept him out in 2006.

"During the simmering Fatah–Hamas conflict, on 14 December 2006, Haniyeh was denied entry to Gaza from Egypt at the Rafah Border Crossing. The border crossing was closed by order of Israeli Minister of Defence, Amir Peretz."

He tried again in 2016.

"On 13 October 2016, the Legal Committee of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) endorsed a request for the return of Haniyeh's government to the Gaza Strip...Despite the PLC recommendation and Hamas' plea, both the consensus government and Fatah refused the request, citing in a press release its illegality and risk of further divisions between Hamas-controlled Gaza and the West Bank"

But despite that Israel went ahead and bombed his family home killing 17 members of his family on the 17th of October.

The Hamas leadership are not worth 11 billion dollars between them at all so why claim it.

Overseas aid into Gaza is tightly controlled through NGO's and Australia's is no different.

You keep repeating the line that: 1,400 innocent civilians were killed.

It appears nearly half of those dead were serving IDF personnel so why do you persist with this? Were they any more or less innocent than Haniyeh's family members?

Hi Armchair Critic,

The words anti-Semite are often heard
Being uttered by those of limited words
The words are meant to be divisive and malicious
Coming from people both toxic and vicious

These people aim to cause great harm
Their words to us all should sound alarms
'Cause the real anti-Semites will be able to hide
Their hatreds will spread, divide us, and thrive

So let us be careful
Which words we all use
There's enough conflict already
Amongst Arabs and Jews.
