Fiona Sullivan of Mullumbimby Creek, you seem to have a flair for drama, self-adulation and verballing your way out of trouble when challenged, as well as being totally incapable of accepting scrutiny.
Fact 1: No-one tried to ‘silence or belittle anyone’ or ‘shut down debate’, but immediately you play the ‘patriarchy card’ and as for ‘speaking with moral clarity’, that’s only your opinion.
Fact 2: No-one initially criticised your reference to your family members who fought in wars, you were only corrected because your family were not alone in that sacrifice. Fiona Sullivan, invoking your family’s past military service was a disingenuous effort to promote your own extremist agenda, that’s where it all went horribly wrong for you, it disrespects veterans. You see people enlist for military service for a number of reasons, yes patriotism, also some think it’s a great adventure – and then there is conscription when you don’t really get a choice. Now if you are lucky enough to return home from a conflict zone basically intact, you do your best to forget the trauma of war and get on with life.
Fiona Sullivan, the majority of Aussies have had quite enough of these divisive, violent and destructive pro-Palestinian, antisemitic demonstrations, and of creating division in this great country; it’s reminiscent of what Vietnam veterans endured years ago.
Fiona Sullivan, you lack the credibility to lecture anyone on ethics, and I sincerely hope you reflect and learn more about ‘moral clarity’.
