Retired in Australia-I hold the record for number of hip replacements-4!!- follow climate, history, politics! Love swimming, cooking and reading!
This article highlights how average Australians are influenced! I remember when I was young the term “dole bludger” was an example of how they subtly change the narrative. They do the same today!

A discreet intellectual network has been reshaping the world for 70 years. Here's how
A constant battle of ideas reshapes the world we live in, and few groups have been more successful in winning the war than the little-known Atlas Network.

I think the theme of what Greg is saying, is that they will make the same mistake . That is who they are and have always been. Trump has removed the curtain!! Americans will always put profits before people!!

Amazing how mass extermination apparently didn’t exist until the dictionary caught up. Historical trauma doesn’t grant permanent exemption from international law.

Palestinians are a distinct people documented for centuries before 1948. Jordan’s control of the West Bank (1948–1967) never turned Palestinians into “Jordanians,” just as French rule didn’t make Algerians French. Occupation doesn’t erase identity.

Impressive how quickly this went from “homeland” to a greatest-hits reel of Islamophobic talking points — very convincing stuff. Notice how criticism of Israeli policy instantly becomes a lecture on Arab countries, Muslims, and 9/11 — anything except addressing occupation and land seizure.

Amazing how a political ideology becomes a protected identity the moment it’s criticised !! You are nothing but a cry baby bully!!

Palestinians didn’t “refuse democracy since 1967” — they’ve lived under military occupation since 1967. Hamas was elected once in 2006 after Israel and the US pushed for elections, then Gaza was blockaded. None of that justifies collective punishment or permanent occupation.

This isn’t a dispute between “Arabs” and “Israel”
It’s about Palestinians, a distinct people, and their right to self-determination in Palestine, not the entire Arab world. Palestinians don’t get “extra land” because Moroccans or Iraqis exist.

Oh ok so HAMAS has held Israeli hostages since 1967?

our elected representatives have a higher duty;to weigh evidence, consider the public interest, and remember who they serve.Too often profit is prioritised over people. Parliament exists to represent the people, not the loudest or wealthiest voices. Parliament represents people, not balance sheets.

We don't hate Jews or Judaism.

We hate genocide. We hate apartheid. We hate ethnic cleansing. We hate racism. We hate war. We hate terrorism. We hate settler-colonialism. We hate all these things that Israel was and is guilty of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

We want Israel to stop.

The IDF is the biggest generator of antisemitism in the world. A group of murdering trigger-happy thugs focussed on murder and destruction and with zero respect for the laws of Judaism is still getting away with pretending to be Jewish.
