A legitimate place for feminist activism:

The legitimacy of womens rights in Western Democracies and their successes, are counter balanced by the realities of the “lot” of women in Arabic Countries and extended societies elsewhere, where any objection to confronting the Patriarchal dominance of Arabic cultural norms are met with fierce resistance.

When I read stories like this, I'm starting to think Australia will be a better place with more Muslims.

Sunday’s Gaza protest a glaring example of tone-deaf intransigence

>>The streets of Melbourne fell victim on Sunday to a glaring example of tone-deaf intransigence.

As they have done regularly for the past almost two years, protesters marched and chanted along the thoroughfares of Melbourne to register their disgust at the war in Gaza. They wore keffiyehs and chanted slogans. Many chanted “Death to the IDF” and some held placards with the same message, or others such as “Glory to the martyrs”.

Yesterday, of all days, they should have paused. No actions are taken in isolation. There is always context.

On Friday night in Melbourne, three attacks occurred against Jewish people. To march two days later shows an appalling lack of judgment by protesters and organisers. Instead of thinking, “What is the consequence of our actions in light of what happened on Friday?” they went, blinkered, onto the streets.

There is no parallel here with events in Gaza. While many feel a deep sense of despair over the mounting death toll in that conflict and are desperate to see it end, no sensible Melburnian wants to see the tragic and deadly Israel-Gaza conflict imported and played out on our streets with violence and animosity.

Yet, to our dismay, that is what appears to be happening.

On Friday, East Melbourne Synagogue, which was founded in 1857, only six years after Victoria, was targeted in a firebombing attack. On the same night, about 20 people raided the Israeli restaurant Miznon in Hardware Lane in the CBD, yelling, grappling with staff and knocking over tables, chanting “Death to the IDF” and “Miznon out of Melbourne”. Diners, understandably, were in fear. In Greensborough, three cars were set alight and the wall of Lovitt Technologies Australia, a weapons company with links to Israel, was graffitied.

No one was physically injured in the attacks.<<

God's chosen people stop at nothing telling us what Australia is and how we should think, live and protest.

Intransigence, which refers to the state or quality of being intransigent, meaning unwilling or refusing to change one's views or to agree.
It implies stubbornness and inflexibility in refusing to compromise.

How dare these people not support Israel's genocide?
Why can't they just set aside their value of human rights and dignity just once, for Israel?
What do they really care about all these slaughtered women and kids?
After all, we're told these people are just nothing more animals and a plague of pestilence.
- Outrageous.

Seriously though, I think the word better applies to the perpetrators not the victims.

I don't see why what goes on in other societies is a "counterbalance" to what goes on in Australia or other like countries. We can't be bothering ourselves with foreign women. We can't help them.

As one of the pale male humans some women are so contemptuous of, I note that these same women in Australia do not give a fig about their 'sisters' in Islamic countries; so, you can bet your bippy that I'm not going to lose any sleep over any of them.

Activist women do not actually endear themselves to anyone, male or (sensible) female.

Highly predictable responses.

Don't forget the hidden message under these chants, that even the
chanters may not realise;
Death to all Christians and other unbelievers, ie you and me, is what
the message really is all about.
Don't just attack me, just believe what they say for once.

Bezza. WTF are you on about?

Where are they chanting death to all Christians: More than likely they are Christians since some still survive in Lebanon to date. Note 2020 was the time of the peak of Hezbolla rule in Lebanon. These are very brave Women who should be supported, as opposed to the trouble making types parading around the West with no consequences.

“Highly predictable responses”, grunts Dan.

Why express an opinion in the first place if you can predict the responses? Or care about the responses.

What you really mean is you don't like the responses. Boo hoo! Don't read them. Be grateful that you are given the opportunity to express your opinions. If you are upset by people disagreeing with you, or just ignoring you because they don't give a stuff one way or the other, give it a miss.

That works for me. I rarely get responses these days; when I do, they are negative, smart arse drivel. I don't care. Being able to ‘have a say’ is all that matters.

Ok so here's my reasoning.

Firstly Netanyahus and Neoconservatives / Zionists wars in the M/E have probably killed millions in the last 30 years, and they couldn't have done it without the help and support of Christian Zionists like most of you, who believe that Israel is justified in committing any any all atrocity without reproach, and it's a matter of policy as ttbn showed us all recently in regards to 'Path To Persia', which itself should be seen as one small piece in a bigger picture given Wesley Clarks '7 Wars in 5 Years' admission as well as the 'Clean Break' policy paper, all a policy for Greater Israel.

These fools believe 'God created everyone equal except for 'God's Chosen people' who are free to act in any way including breaking all the ideals Jesus taught, and still have their full and unconditional support.

And Israel will keep on killing and murdering it's neighbours indefinitely until every country around Israel is reduced to a Syrian-like outcome.

Furthermore, these wars are largely responsible for the influx of Muslims to our countries, so the real truth here is STUPID CHRISTIANS in blind support of a GENOCIDAL ISRAEL, are themselves responsible for the influx of Muslims and the destruction of our own countries.

These people will tell you how great it is that Israel is a democracy, not realising that a large majority of Israelis on both sides of the political aisle harbour genocidal intent towards the Palestinians, so in this case supporting democracy supports mass slaughter and genocide.

With such a blinkered on view of things, these 'Christian' people turn a blind eye to the killing of even their own.

[Cont.]

These self-righteous 'Christian' assholes turn a blind eye when Christians are murdered inside churches, but scream bloody murder when a synagogue door is burned and Jews (supporters of slaughter) feel fearful.

Even whole towns full of Christians are attacked and these people give their silent complicity, and moral or financial support to the continuing slaughter.

Israeli Settlers Set Christian Town ON FIRE In The West Bank!

These 'Christians' need not look towards foreign places, peoples or religions to find their real enemy;
All they need to do to find the devil is to look themselves in the mirror!

Herein is another ( set) of demented Antisemitic rants by AC, advertising freely his loss of mental control and outright obsessive hatred of anything Jewish.

Totally off topic, but we will let this stand as a monument to madness! Get help mate!

You're one of them diver dan, and it's exactly as I say.
Just can't help yourself.

Not only do you turn a blind eye to the endless slaughter of women and kids, you seek to attack those who point out the truth, all the while hiding behind a stupid word called 'antisemitic' that provides cover for the atrocities and protects the perpetrators.

Ultimately, you and others here amongst you just don't like it that I hold up that mirror and show you EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE!
That's essentially the problem of you and your kind.

You're conscience-less sub human trash that support the killing of innocent women and kids and protects the hate-filled perpetrators.

You stand for nothing, have no values of respect, decency, of human rights and dignity,
You flush your own claimed biblical virtues of morality down the toilet, spit in Jesus's face AND ARE NOTHING.

As for Lebanon, you carry on like you care about the women living there but again, don't care about Israels breaching over the ceasefire agreement some 4000 times and the airstikes and bombing that have killed thousands of innocent people there too.
(yes including women)

You're a vile and disgusting defender of slaughter and genocide.
- So don't talk to me then you piece of sub-human trash.

It's a real shame Iran didn't keep going and rained hell down upon the malignant terrorist state of Israel a bit longer.

Your unhinged. Get help.

'Your unhinged. Get help.'

Why don't you explain your opinion on its own merits as I have?
Otherwise throw a tantrum and go cry like a little 5 year old girl if you must.
- I'll be waiting for your detailed response.

Or is it just gunna be:

Waaaaaahhhhh!
Waaaaaahhhhh!
Waaaaaahhhhh!

Cry me a fecken river you sub-human genocide supporting asshole.

No response.
Still crying I see...

Here you go crybaby.
Something to brighten your day.

Israeli strike kills 15 people near Gaza medical centre

'Health authorities in Gaza have accused Israeli forces of killing women and children queuing for supplements and medicine near a medical centre in the strip.'

Nothing new, happens everyday, after getting their asses handed to them by Iran all they can do is attack women and kids.
Netanyahu needs war or he'll go to jail, (Where he belongs)
Sad and pathetic.

What if someone did that in our country?
The outrage would be bigger than the Lindt Cafe event.
In Gaza it happens every day, and it's barely a news event.
Israel is a vile and disgusting nation worse than the NAZI's themselves.
- Because Jews should know better.
