Albanese still refuses to expel the Iranian ambassador. The last time he was asked, he hadn't even dressed the thug down. He just squeaked something about what's ‘best for Australia’: meaning what's best for him. We “need” contact with terrorist-enabling Iran, he says. What! Albanese needs to hear their ambassador telling us how Israel needs to be wiped out!

Albanese is hopeless. He is dangerously incompetent. He doesn't believe in the rule of law. He has made Australia a much more dangerous place than it has ever been. He has diminished Australia's reputation throughout the world. He must go.

Instead of pushing ignorant, ideological twaddle about a country we have no influence over (Israel) we should be working out how to get rid of Albanese and his ultra-Left rabble and concentrating on our own problems: mass, inappropriate immigration of people who actually hate us; threats to our freedoms from our own politicians; lack of ability to defend ourselves, and a total lack of leadership.

As hostilities increase and Australia faces the possibility of being cut off from our suppliers of essential goods, Albanese is doing nothing about our lack of a local fuel supply, lack of pharmaceutical manufacturing, food we are importing instead of growing it.

We Australians have much more to contemplate about our own future, as the red mist of socialism becomes more suffocating here. Forget what you think Israel should or shouldn't do.

Watching the news this morning and hearing all the
announcements of the upcoming vigils and protests
marking the anniversary of October 7th made me
realize a few things and try to look at the conflict
from a different perspective.

One state or two - whatever the solution -
we need to recognize that the safety and security of both
Jews and Palestinians are inter-dependent.

Condemnation of only one side or the other? Will it
really achieve anything productive? It also does not
reflect a lack of concern for the welfare of innocent
people on both sides of the conflict.

The approaches taken so far have not worked.
Perhaps we need to make
an effort to take better positions that will lead
to greater safety for everyone.

If we continue with our "pro-Palestine" or "pro-Israel"
stances and their implicit exclusion - Doesn't this
merely reproduce and
perpetuate the nationalist antagonisms that has fuelled
and continues to fuel the
forever war between Jews and Palestinians.

Taking a different approach of course won't magically produce a
solution but it may help to create the atmosphere necessary
to imagine a peaceful future for both sides in the
Middle East and the diaspora.

Isn't it worth a try ?

Australian Jews should be of more concern to us than foreigners. Australian Jews are at risk, thanks to the Albanese Government’s refusal to enforce pro-terror laws against the mobs that the government has allowed into Australia.

While mosques and mobs in Australia are mourning the death of the horrible creature, Nasrallah - in Lebanon, Christians, Muslims, Druze, Bedouins and Kurds have joyously welcomed his death. Children are handing out sweets in Syria. ‘Syrian Rebellion’ wrote a placard in Hebrew, “With Killing Nasrallah You Have Illuminated The Road For Peace. A Blessed Start”.

Iranians waved flags and cheered outside the Israeli embassy in London.

These incidents all make so-called democratic Australia and its “progressive” windbags look like real screwballs.

Around 7,000 people attended the demonstrations in
Melbounre and there were no major issues of note.
Overall police were pleased with the behaviour of
attendees and there were no displays of any prohibited
symbols in today's protest.

With each demonstration the organizers worked and
co-operated closely with police. In NSW changes were made
in their plans to ensure that things went peacefully such
as shifting the route of the demonstration to inside
Hyde Park instead of the Town Hall and the vigil for
tomorrow being a "standing" or "static" vigil instead of a
moving protest.

The co-operation between the organizers and the police
sets a good example and re-assures people that good planning
and co-operation is vital for peaceful outcomes.

Inciting hatred and fear - is something none of us need
during this difficult time for everyone.

October 7.

I'm not sure I can cop all the stories that will come out today claiming 'poor Israel',
- Not when Israel created a new October 7 every single day of the last 365.
I think after this day is over my patience for Israel will have completely run out.

What do we do with a nuclear armed state that is out of control?
Bombing them into submission isn't a workable option, they'd just fire nukes at everyone.
Though if Iran only fired missiles at essential infrastructure, like water, power stations - a limited attack could be somewhat effective.

France has now begun a 'Stop weapons shipments to Israel' campaign.
To me the only thing left is BDS?
Individuals are entitled to protest - and entitled to spend their money how they choose.
Let the protestors picket every business that does business with Israel.
Start having protesters shut down industrial estates.

If Israel can't be bombed into submission,
(and I personally can't support action that harms innocents)
- Then I say they probably need to be isolated from the rest of the world.

Cut them off from everything.
I've always stated that I'm opposed to using trade as a weapon.
But Israels continued contempt for the value of human life
- an entire year on non-stop killing of innocent women and kids -
Well, is the situation not worthy of taking such a position?

Israel don't care what the rest of the world thinks;
Then the rest of the world needs to think about how we deal with an out of control nuclear-armed state.

Instead of pointless protests, do we need ones that actual hurt Israel and those companies who support it?
The wold needs to say loud and clear ENOUGH and that this killing of innocents and contempt for human life MUST STOP NOW.
