Here is another link dealing with what ANZAC day
means to people. It's love not hate: http://sbs.com.au/language/english/en/article/what-does-anzac-day-mean-to-migrants/shee55mqO Posted by Foxy, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 8:10:17 AM

Foxy said- "These volunteers had to overcome Australia's racist White Australia Policy before they could be accepted."
Graham Young wrote an article yesterday in the main forum, and my response was going to be about racism. Not opposing it, but supporting it. Graham stated "I can't imagine our forebears accepting lockdowns and forced vaccinations, and I certainly couldn't see them accepting an identity card linking not just government accounts but private sector ones as well." My comment wasn't going to specifically be about supporting racism for the 'right to offend' others, no. But to draw a correlation between the time in this country people had the balls to defend their own interests as opposed to nowadays where the populace acts like they've all been neutered and given their daily glass of soy milk. Maybe I'm just a racist and a toxic male? The regressives like to create names for the people they wish to dislodge and disparage. Posted by Armchair Critic, Tuesday, 23 April 2024 8:13:09 AM

Professor Bruce Charles Scates, Australian historian,
academic, novelist, and documentary film producer at the Australian National University, who chaired the Military and Cultural history group of the Anzac Centenary Program has argued that the Gallipoli commemorations often ignore the role of the many involved. "We are in danger of returning to a narrow, nationalistic, and self-congratulatory account. in our rush to remember we run the risk of forgetting. We can also distort the way we remember the events of 1915 by downplaying the multi-national history of the conflict." He tells us that "alongside Anglo-Celtic soldiers were Indigenous Australian, Maoris, Senegalese, Zouaves, Sikhs, Gurkhas and Newfoundlers, as well as Zionists from Palestine who formed the Zionist Mule Corps.

Professor Bruce Charles Scates? I wouldn't trust anything coming out of universities now. Perhaps most at the Academic Universities are Woke/ Communists that advocate for the Anglosphere to become stateless through genocide and loss of self determination- they betray their community base through education immigration. Perhaps Foxy's family are some of those traitors to Anglo's that supported them in their time of need. An example to those that would support the weak- sometimes supporting the weak means supporting a weak and corrupt character that will stick a knife in your back as soon as it is turned. There is a movement to re-balance "liberal arts" to stop the woke/ communist creeps in such projects as UATX and Peterson University

Government's Department of Veteran Affairs. From their
"ANZAC Portal," dealing with WW1. Here is the link again:
http://anzacportal.dva.gov.au/wars-and-missions/ww1/personnel/cultural-diversity
It shows Australia's military and service history.
Presenting facts does not equate
to hate or anything else and to suggest that id does is shameful,
mean-spirited n narrow, nasty, and negative.
Blame history, the government and the reality of those times,
not Foxy.
Foxy's love of this country and ANZAC Day and it's tradition is
well known on this forum. Her posting record speaks for itself.
