If there were ever a just war it is Israel against Hamas in Gaza. The 7 October invasion is an example of what Israel would face if it hadn’t the power and determination to retaliate on all fronts for its survival.
I’ve read and reread the history of the Jews from Abraham to the present day and they have fought off many nations more formidable than their present enemies, plus 2,000 years of pogroms in every European country ending with the Holocaust, which was aimed at total obliteration of their race. But miraculously the Jews are still here.
The Palestinians and their world supporters’ jubilant chant ‘from the river to the sea’ will not be the fate of this brave tenacious new nation and very ancient race of people. Israel has my full sympathy and moral support in this ongoing battle for survival.
You are so correct Mary, well written.
I can’t believe that I am agreeing with Alexander Downer but he is correct when he says:
“Ever since Hamas, which is committed to killing Jews and eliminating Israel, attacked and slaughtered Israelis on October 7, the Greens have been demonising the Israelis. Any Australian with a passing familiarity with the issue would know what Hamas – an extension of the extremist Islamist organisation Muslim Brotherhood – is about. These aren’t people fighting for a two-state solution. They want the Jews eliminated. The Greens know this but have still gone out of their way to support Hamas”.
You don’t have to support what Israel is doing In Gaza to recognise thet the Greens are deeply antisemetic.
