John Scrivener, yet again, in his latest incredibly biased anti-Israel letter in last week’s paper shows us nothing new. Again, people who can’t even bring themselves to feel compassion for the suffering of both Palestinians and Israelis are the problem, and are irrelevant in the debate and the solution. I on the other hand am pro-Palestine, pro-Israel, and pro-peace and that seems to really get under these people’s skin, even though I have been critical of both sides.
As a proud Australian, I was cheering on Electric Fields with our entry in the Eurovision contest, but was shocked at the amount of Israel hatred that was being expressed both outside and within the Eurovision complex from some people in the audience and even some of the fellow competitors.
Here again, the noisy and aggressive minority around the world are very audible but it is very clear how the silent majority around the world feel. They are sick and tired of these external antagonists organising the ongoing anti-Israel (not pro-Palestinian) protests on the streets and university campuses, and the silent majority, including in Australia, went out of their way to vote for Israel en masse, putting them in fifth place out of the 37 countries represented. The majority of the world does not want the destruction of Israel, they can see through the incredible amount of biased, and anti-Israel, lies reported as news, it’s as simple as that. Peace now.
