for the insult worrier--what is more insulting a nation that murders a prime minister--as it goes about its civilised affairs; or the
immense academic effort required to comprehend-"that is not your land".
ie the 78 and growing UN infringements known as settlements.

perhaps we should revel in the hope of being "the wrong person" when these "of fair mein" only--also decide they can murder in another's country.

The insult--is that this class of person actually have nuclear weapons--lets hope they find their own antics so exciting that they only use them on themselves.

[this is a gutter race--who have to Noam Chomsky any sense of decency by completely stifling debate].

There's nothing new about ethnic hatred and I don't see why Jews feel they are something special in this regard.

Only last week a Gypsy village of 800 near Naples was firebombed by the local Comorra (Napoli Mafia equivalent) while the locals applauded and Police stood by and watched. Firefighters were jeered and taunted when they tried to put out the fire and the last of the Gyspys had to be moved out under Police protection.

All this despite appeals from the Pope, while Italian politicians try to walk the fine line between illegal immigration and ethnic/cultural hatred.

Not quite the savage, unenlightened Middle East but not much different either. No monopoly of hate there I suspect.

Perhaps racism and ethnic intolerance really is a form of mental illness and maybe one day we will find a cure.

Bravo Col Rouge! I agree with you 100%. If we accept an official to use this words against any race or religious then what we could expect from common people? She deserves to be sacked.
Some times Col Rouge you are very good but I hope... NOT ONLY for Jews.

You described Jews as "ruthless business people and totally anal with money"
Do you mean Albert Einstein, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Franz Kafka, Arthur Miller, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Baruch Spinoza,etc was totally anal with money? Is not Karl Marx the worst fighter to Capitalists?
Do you think Albert Einstein, Arthur Miller or Franz Kafka were ruthless business people?
We can not describe a whole nation as "ruthless business people and totally anal with money"
Every one must know where to stop.

Dear Austin,

I thought the term - 'whinging Pom,' was done with a bit of 'tongue-in-cheek,' and affection, and it came from a bygone era. I didn't
realize that it was a term that was greatly used today.

I also didn't fully realize that the term had as many
bad vibes attached to it, as the other discriminatory terms that I mentioned in my earlier post.

Just for your information, I came across this in my son's year 9 - history text book called,"The Changing Australians: A social history," by Sue Fabian. Its a reprint taken from, "The Age," 21.1.1967, Letter to the Editor:

"I for one feel no apology is owing....for...'racial prejudice'
against foreign immigration. It is nothing to be ashamed of to
prefer one's own kind...I want to see Australia great, to be
united and strong country - a British country with one people
...I make no apology for...not wishing to see a mongrel,
motley Australia. I believe in a British Australia."

Have times really changed that much over these years - that you now
feel the British are also being discriminated against?

I really am surprised.
