Foxy,

"1) The bullet did not ricochet. It was a straight shot into
her chest and killed her.

2) The bullet was fired by an Israeli sniper"

How do you know?

Belly,

Have you ever seen a rubber bullet?

Are there any records as to how many times the israelis started to thow rocks & mortars at the Palestinians so that the Palestinians were forced to attack the israelis ?

Dear foxy,

You write;

“I realised that it's very unpopular for some people to support
the Palestinians. It's much easier and safer to be pro-Israel
than to be pro-Arab.”

I'm sorry but no it isn't. Most of the people I know certainly recognise who the under dog is in this fight and being regular Australians tend to side with the Palestinians. The more vociferous old ratbags along with the genuinely perverse who inhabit the general section of the OLO forum are hardly indicative of the sentiment out there.

And both sides of Australian politics have for decades condemned Israel for its brutality. Right now we have a government who is so terrified they might get picked on by that orange buffoon that they have tossed aside any semblance of standing up for the underdog. Instead they paint the most powerful, nuclear armed rouge state in the ME and try and convince the world it is they who are the victim.

You also said this;

“Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic and saying
so is vile. But singling out Israel for opprobrium
and international sanction - out of all proportion
to any other party in the Middle East - is anti-Semitic,
and not saying so is dishonest.”

It is not out of all proportion to any other party in the Middle East at all. You name one country which has imprisoned close to 2 million people in the world's largest open aired prison, who have slaughtered thousands in their regular 'mowing the grass', who have occupied a land and moved tens of thousands of their own population into that land, have dispossessed 800,000 Palestinians who are seeking the right to return to their homes.

This has been going on for over 50 years and UN sanction after UN sanction which normally would have been imposed on a similar rouge state is blocked by the US when it is done to Israel. It is pure frustration that brings the UN back to try again and again and again, thus far with few results.

Watch Bridgette Gabriel, the well spoken Lebanese woman, who came to America
after spending 7years in bomb shelters as a child, because of the cruelty of the Palestinians, who blew up her home.

you'll recognise the truth in her words.

Actually, there is no such thing as 'Palestinians', but the bed wetters and Leftists keep ignoring the fact. These so-called Palestinians wandered in from somewhere in the Middle East. They have been stateless in living memory, and they look like being stateless forever. Someone decided to call them Palestinian for identification purposes, but they are just Arabs of some sort.

These people could have had a state long ago if they had simply accepted Israel's right to exist. The British, in particular, worked very hard for them. But, no. Like most ingrates who become used to being 'victims’ and pandered to by the ignorant and the anti-Semitic, they became useful stooges for Israel’s enemies. But, natural justice and Israel are keeping them in their place. Oops! They don't really have a place

Dear Steele,

"...Singling out Israel" read that quote again - you've totally
misunderstood what was being said.

Thanks.

As for the rest of my post - the media and government in
Australia supports Israel - not the Palestinians.

Dear Is Mise,

How do I know - Jewish newspaper and other reputable media
sources.
