I have watched and read so many responses, comments and discussions about this bloody war in Gaza. I’m fed up and very disheartened at the Australian government’s response in general, and the divisiveness of the Israeli government taking a right-wing fascist approach to a terrorist attack. The hypocrisy and irony is breathtaking.
David Heilpern is so ‘on the money’, he described it so well: it’s the only real comment I’ve read that sees it the way it is, a humanitarian disaster and a political blunder of a huge magnitude. Man’s inhumanity to man. We’ve now got such perfect and plentiful weapons to unleash, in the hands of mad men.
The Palestinian and the Ukrainian people, the mothers, children and innocent fathers have been the real victims.
