Dear individual,

Get your facts first - then you can distort them
any way you please. I suspect you're a Pauline
Hanson supporter. No policies - just protest
and slurs.

SR and Foxy,

You have rose coloured blinkers wrt Steven Salaita. After his anti-Semitic tweets were exposed, he couldn't get tenure at US universities (who are not known for being pro Israel) and had to move to Beirut.

Secondly, since my optimism in 2007 my view of the Palestinians has deteriorated as Hamas cancelled elections exiled and executed political opponents, and initiated all war against Israeli civilians using their civilians as shields and as cannon fodder and diverted the majority of aid to rearm and rebuild their war machine.

Given that Hamas has yet to recognise Israel's right to exist even within the 1967 borders, the chances of negotiated peace is far slimmer than it has ever been.

Foxy,
No need to 'lose it' over inconvenient truths. Yes, now I support ON because ALP/LNP have kinda ruined most of my plans for my life with their thoughtless & discriminative policies over the years. In the race as to which of the two is the worse, Labor is a clear winner but the Coalition has worked its way up to an extremely close runner-up.
You say to get my facts first. well I did & you're spitting the dummy.
To you it is a game of one-up-manship in ALP vs LNP. To me it's a very serious showing of the shortcomings of those whom we're forced to keep in the lap of luxury & power over us.
It is exactly the same in the Palestine/Israel conflict which shouldn't be conflict at all but a handful of power-crazed midieval dimwits getting their kicks of causing mayhem in the countries they're supposed to 'lead' !
Say something factual & Bing. you're a racist or anti semitic etc which is in fact what they are.

Shadow Minster,

41 Department Heads, Chairs, and Directors published an
open letter calling on Acting Chancellor Barbara Wilson
and President Timothy Killeen to call on the re-instalment of Salaita at the
September 2015 Board Meeting. As a result of this controversy
the University was censured by the American Association of
University Professors and finally awarded Salaita in access of
$800,000 in a settlement. The Chancellor Phyllis Wise was forced
to resign and in August 2015 the University Administration
released emails that Wise had hidden regarding the firing of
Salaita - which showed her dealing with Zionist lobbyists and
donors.

You need to be more selective in your choices of whom you
are going to support without question.
Otherwise your credibility is at risk.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I will admit deriving a little enjoyment seeing you skewer yourself on this one but now I am getting a more than a little embarrassed for you.

Okay, for the umpteenth time. Which of Steven Salaita's tweets do you deem rabidly anti-Semitic?

Dear individual,

It's best that you leave your comments for topics
that you know something about. Do yourself that
favour.
