Re: 40 Killed In Hamas Attacks In Israel

It still narks me that it took the death of 7 aid workers (as opposed to twenty thousands Palestinian women and children) for the US to start changing its position on the conflict.

Meanwhile, out Government's position seems unchanged. Utterly bizarre.

The 20,000 Palestinian women and children killed by the IDF/IOF doesn't include a probable 10,000 more who are buried under the rubble.

Even if the focus is just aid workers, over 200 had been killed by the IDF/IOF before the murder of the WCK volunteers.

A casual glance at the TV news items or newspaper front pages gives a very clear idea of the relative value of Palestinian, Israeli and 'western' lives.

Sickening.

Genocide if 'we' don't like them; self-defence if we do!

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the war - and Israel absolutely should be criticised on many things - claiming "Hitler has won" is just another in a long line of outrageous statements from this old crank that demonstrates historical and contemporary ignorance, that offers absolutely nothing in the pursuit of peace.

I did agree with her on the recent comments about adult Harry Potter fans though.

I expect that will be a small crumb of comfort to her.

I hope so. She seems such a lovely lady.

Interesting that the Miriam Margolyes video (the quote came from it) was circulated by the newly formed Jewish Council of Australia:

The Jewish Council of Australia is a diverse coalition of Jewish academics, lawyers, writers and teachers. We are experts on antisemitism and racism. We were formed in response to the rise in racism and antisemitism in Australia. We are particularly concerned about the rise in neo-Nazi activities, fascism and far right extremism.

"The Jewish Council is an important initiative. The next generation of Australian Jews is resisting the pressure applied by the Jewish establishment to defend Israel and the Occupation. Refusing to toe the line comes at a real personal cost so I commend the individuals involved for their moral courage and commitment to peace and justice" Louise Adler AM

"In the current environment of global political extremes and the relentless devastation in Gaza, the manipulation of language by those desperate to justify the indefensible, is perhaps an inevitable response. Amidst these distortions, many of them racist in character and impact, it is refreshing and essential to see the emergence of new voices committed to challenging and remedying crass and obsolete opinions. The establishment of the Council importantly seeks to reset the record and provide perspectives informed by principles of accuracy, transparency, and justice." Emeritus Professor Andrea Durbach AM

Not really that interesting Jon. Not all Jews think the same.

Sounds like a political organisation mind. I note they are particularly concerned about the "rise of neo Nazis, far right and fascism". They are of course right to be concerned about such hateful ideologies but it seems a strange stance to be particularly concerned about them as opposed to Islamists if you ask me, but each to their own 👍

The daily massacre of children continues - even if the world's media, western governments and the Board Zionists are happily being distracted by Iran's retaliation.

The enablers and apologists enable and excuse. Germany a prime example!
