Still at it, I see.

Who cares about what someone ABC crackpot says!

If she had announced that Australia is now internationally seen as an anti-Semitic country, she would have been closer to the truth.

Australia is officially an anti-Semitic, anti-Israel country, as is clearly shown by that abominable Wong person, unrestrained by the equally abominable - or perhaps just weak - Albanese.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for that story. I really needed some good news.
I needed something positive.
My husband has been diagnosed with early dementia. It's
been a difficult time.

I've been scared a couple of times as to how we shall cope.
But so far so good.

Anyway - once again - Thanks.

mhaze,

Re your comments on the survey:

At least there are people out there willing to admit racism in an issue in Australia. There not living in denial. I don't think it matters who they vote for. I think a lot of people go by life experience and what they see out there. It's not nice for everyone, including today in Australia.

In terms of what makes Australia racist, I'd say to the others what makes Australia not racist? I think it's 50/50 and both sides need to put forward some valid arguments. It's not a one sided affair. I don't think it's good enough to avoid the 'racist Australia' issue simply because there are some nice people out there.

For example, I've had to deal with someone who's been really nasty to get on with recently and we need to do more about how to deal with these types of people. The first step is to admit they are out there and decide what action needs to be taken.

ttbn,

As I pointed out before, many have been critical of a recent attack on a Jewish School in Melbourne. Myself one of them. Schools should be left alone. We've also had Jewish students on University campuses labelled Neo-Nazi's from those camping on University grounds which is vile.

Anti-Semitism is on the rise in Australia, but the only reason people like yourself only focus on that is because those who are racist in Australia across the board are let off the hook. This includes those coming out against Palestinians in Australia and calling them Hamas supporters. Don't use Anti-Semitism to let racist Australians off the hook. They don't deserve a free ride and shouldn't get one!

Referring to anyone, Palestinian or otherwise, as Hamas supporters is not racism.

Referring to Israel committing war crimes is not
anti-Semitism. Neither is criticism of Israel's
policies.

Not all Palestinians support Hamas the same as not
all Jews support what Israel is doing.

Regarding racism?

We've all heard hurtful rhetoric and seen bigoted and
racist stereotypes go unchallenged and people
labelled as "un-Australian."

Misinformation and disinformation sometimes runs
rampant bringing out the worst in some people.

This sort of behaviour is often excused in our national
debate on racism - when it should not be so easily
acceptable and condoned.

Words do hurt. They cause harm to people. Labels must not
be given to any race on any scale. Be it to our Indigenous
People or any other race or ethnic group.
