Dear Nick,

I don't give Israel a right of conquest, in fact I lament its 1967 occupation.

Perhaps I am not a true anarchist? I will let you decide for yourself. I never considered myself as such, I only hold that ruling over others AGAINST THEIR WILL is violence, thus unacceptable - but if others agree, then why not?

SM,

There are 88 embassies in Israel. 86 are in Tel Aviv.
Israeli jurisdiction and ownership of Jerusalem is not
recognised by the international community.

My dearest Yuyutsu

You are against moving there and nations would do well to move there.
Which is correct?
You say ruling against someone's will is violence and unacceptable .
Israel rules east Jerusalem that way.
Then you must be correct half the time. I'd have problems with you as my government.

Isn't the Israel/Palestine circus a perfect example when you let politics get infiltrated by religion ?

Indy a truth in that! why do humanity continue to bow to any religion,
IF we stop letting fantasys rule we may avoid all wars
However John Howard, hardly a leftist fool,, funded Indonesia to help stop terrorism being schooled in to its youth
This matter is nothing more than mini me trying to win Wentworth and crawl to his boss Trump
IF he backs down, and he will, this matter questions if he has what it takes to run this country.

Are you people who use the vague term 'religion' too cowardly to say 'Islam', which is the only religion in modern times which has caused problems for the world, and scared Western politicians sh-tless?

Christianity can't be blamed because it has been rejected by the very people who have benefited from it, and it no longer has pride of place in what used to be civilised society. There is only one religion that is growing and has the strength and believers to to wipe the rest of us out eventually, and that religion is Islam.

The Christianity that drove Islam out of Europe from the eleventh century onwards no longer exists. The atheism and lack of faith that has replaced it is no match for Islam, which is back in Europe with a vengeance, thanks to the faithless cowards of the West; and they are now coming for the English-speaking Europeans who escaped from Europe to places like Australia, North America and New Zealand.
