Christianity has played a large part in the hatred of Jews, particularity in Europe. From earliest times Christians sought to legitimises themselves within the Roman Empire. To do so they moved the responsibility for the destruction of Christ away from the Romans and placed it onto the Jews. Coupled with the fact Jews were excluded from "legitimate" business and become the money changers, and thus seen as being of dubious character. Hitler with his Nazism was able to exploit an underlying suspicion of Jews within Germany, who were never a part of mainstream German society, to scapegoat them for the problems that beset the country post WWI. The rest is history.

The figures coming from Israel are that about 8000 of those killed in Gaza were Hamas militants with 1000s more captured.

Israel has been extremely restrained.

Your use of “utterly despicable” and “appalling lack of understanding” sums up this nasty thread very well. It has been a real hate-fest and anti-Semitic, pro-terror exercise. We really shouldn't be giving oxygen to people like these two. Responding to their hate and ignorance seems to embolden them. New Year's Resolution: ignore them.

I see no worse atrocity than conscription
Yuyutsu,
Conscription is the unfortunate need for defending the country you live in when the demographic’s mentality is such that everyone demands protection & security yet no-one is willing to pull their weight !

There can be no reasoning with followers of a government that has received praise from a Hamas terrorist,Ghazi Hamad, for its call for an Israeli ceasefire, and its joint statement with also morally bankrupt New Zealand and Canada to stop pursuing Hamas.

That's right, the Albanese government demanded a ceasefire against terrorism!

Terrorists who can quote support from the Australian government. No wonder Jews now fear for their safety in Australia.

The Albanese government votes against Israel in the UN, and refuses to cooperate with its greatest ally against terrorism in the Red Sea.

What a disgrace. We shouldn't be surprised by the tripe posted by supporters of such a rotten government.

All we can do is starve them of attention.

Australia has joined 152 other countries at the
United Nations calling for a ceasefire in Gaza -
but there were conditions - no Hamas role in
Gaza's future government and the release of the
roughly 130 hostages still in its custody.

The government has made it very clear that a
sustainable ceasefire cannot be one-sided and that
it cannot be unconditional.
