There is no doubt the world expects a lot more from Israel, but WHY?

WHY is Israel held to such a high standard?

WHY are their neighbour's held to such a low one?

WHY can Turkey & Iran use OUR intelligence to conduct a joint assault on OUR ally, Kurdistan, without criticism?

WHY is the Israeli Defence Force held to a higher standard than even our own Defence Force?

WHY are people here lecturing the online community about Israel's supposed genocide of GAZA/West Bank, when we kill approximately the same number of OUR indigenous people a year as they do... In fact probably more, due to the absolute lack of hope, the suicide rate is significantly higher in Aboriginal Communities, while petrol sniffing kills god knows how many per year.

WHY are people here complaining about the lack of opportunity for those in Gaza & the West Bank, when those on Aboriginal Communities get NO foreign aid, have no job prospects and little chance to achieve anything?

This is what I fail to understand, it is why I differ from Steven and suggest it is an associative disorder, Anti-Israel Personality Disorder...

An absolute contempt for the rules and regulations of Israel, distaste/disgust at the State having the power to defend itself & an absolute inability to consider why certain things happen certain ways, or to put themselves in the shoes of those in Israel, trying to deal with incessant terrorist attacks.

Dear Custard,

Please re-read my earlier post to Steven,
as to "Why" more is expected from Israel.
The question has already been answered
for you, I can only assume that you don't
read people's posts - which you should do
prior to posting.

From your posts I can see that you expect
people to continuously explain and defend
why they are taking a particular position.
In your last post you give so many examples
of "Why" people don't care about so many
unfortunate situations. (An assumption on your
part, or simply a provocation?) All that's
missing is the baying of the hounds at the
heels ...

As far as the Israeli/Palestinian conflict
is concerned - you seem to
make no distinction between an occupied
people, and those who occupy them. Israel
talks about the right of self-defence.
How can an occupier claim self-defence but
deny the same right to those who are occupied
and have the right of self-defence with
whatever means are available to them?

Get real!

I've got a few questions you've neglected
in your rant.

Why do we constantly hear about Israel's
need for "security", as though that justifies
erecting walls, checkpoints and barriers?
Why is the world told to believe that the
Palestinians should only accept peace on Israel's
terms?

For the umpteenth time, many of us support the
state of Israel and believe in its existence.
However, not at the expense of the Palestinian
people. There must be a way for Israel to exist
securely while allowing justice for the
Palestinian people. A sustainable future for
Israel and the Palestinians should be of concern
to us all.

As for your other questions - concerning our
Indigenous people and others, if you seriously
want to discuss those issues - start new threads
on those topics, one at a time, so that people
can discuss each issue separately - otherwise
the assumption appears that you're merely trying
to derail this thread.

"If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle
them with ..."

WOW!...foxyness actually knows about "history" and says:

//A historian can establish that an act took
place on a certain day, but this, by
historical standards, constitutes only....//

Amazing that history suddenly lives for you Foxy .. when it's not one of your pet topics that you wish to protect.

Dear Al,

Consistency requires you to be
as ignorant today as you were
when you first started posting
on this Forum!
