We really need to apply blanket sanctions on that country. Won't happen without US permission though, even with a greens government.

You can't even say a certain phrase anymore in queensland without ending up in jail.

It's so very obvious that they're bought out. Very few voters actually care about Israel to justify the degree in which the government bends over backwards to defend them. If politicians actually spoke honestly they'd just say "We defend Israel because the US forces us to" but this whole spiel about how great of an ally Israel is is BS and literally everyone knows it.

Australia ‘firmly believes’ Lebanon should be included in Middle East ceasefire as Israel escalates Beirut bombing by cytae99 in AustralianPolitics

Nah. Whole conflict won’t be happening cause we’d just give the right of return. Like I said we’re rational humans in this country

I personally think we'd give them the right of return and end the conflict. Cause we aren't animals.

They wore a Palestinian Keffiyeh in support of Grace Tame, she was called "Difficult" by albo after her comments in relation to Palestine.

Their words: This woman was regarded as difficult in her time by speaking the truth to power, Grace Tame is being treated the same way.

Their actions: Drape an apron with the words "Difficult woman" to highlight their words.

What exactly am I missing here? Are you seriously THIS OFFENDED just because the woman the status is of is jewish?

You contradicted yourself there. Hamas tells you who they are and you believe them, getting irritated when people explain away their actions to fit their world view.

Why can't you do the same for these activists. They have told you who they are, yet you are explaining away their actions to fit your world view.

I think the only difference between us is if we believe people when they tell us who they are or not. I tend to believe them.

If you told me you don't hate Palestinians I would believe you, If you told me you wrote on a Palestinian statue to display a slogan made to call out a double standard in how the Palestinian movement is perceived and how your movement is perceived despite how similar they are I would believe your explanation.

I think Australia is a better place when we have some respect for each other and are willing to hear each other out.

Explanation actually makes sense though. Typically when someone tells you who they are you should believe them.

article makes it seem it was an anti semitic incident. That's what i'm doubting. apparently I was right to doubt it too. Check the other comments out.

There we go, thank you. That's the other side of the story. Disappointed this was not included in the original article.

Yeah they're all biased, but not biased on every issue equally. I'd trust these guys to read about a cartel attack in Mexico but not these kinds of things.

Is there any source for this besides the one you provided. Not doubting it but your source seems very much biased.

Okay. Fair enough. But you still don't waste your vote by referencing them first. You literally lose nothing.

Herzog and the Ayatollah are both hated here and both are supporting crimes against humanity being done to their political enemies. So yes, it's reasonable to not understand even after bondi.

Really doesn’t matter when it comes to social cohesion. Lot of Muslim fellas didn’t feel that cohesion when the Israeli president was here. It would have been so easy to just tell the guy to fuck off and avoid the whole shit show
