Re: Death of Innocence.
Makes no difference if outsiders agree or disagree , those fighting it should and would be the only genuine people to give any attention to what they say. Hamas is a terrorist organization and should always be remembered as such .Even Vichy France never achieved that notoriety during the last war . Hamas have worked hard to achieve that title.

Re: Death of Innocence.
#122. But naming children and wives of government ministers openly is, in my view, an unforgiveable act of ignorance and stupidity.
What the hell have children and wives got to do with the price of fish ??
Ask the IDF who have been responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent Women & Children.
I point out the fact that the UK government has in it's cabinet those who hold high office, are, I would imagine pressured,or influenced by the Rabbi of their place of worship, Just the same as the local Mullah will be doing the same to his crowd.
You reduce the deaths of innocent Women & Children and use an annology (what has that to do with the price of FISH, ffs!!!
Oh and can you show me in my post were I actually mentioned ANY childs names of those in Government.
You and others here alike are tish scared to mention anything that is or could be construed anti-Semitic
Even Keir Starmer is **** scared to stand up and call Israel out over the genocide that is occurring in Gaza, why? obivious answer , he and the Labour party cannot be seen to be anti semitic.
Refrom party yes that may be a good place for your vote!!! 
All you disillusioned Tory voters hopefully will either stay away from the polls or vote Reform, great Labour will have a bigger majority in Parliament.
The more women and children the IDF kill !!! it cuts down the numbers that can go on to have more children in later years.
Tell me that is not an act of Genocide?

Re: Death of Innocence.
Here in Melbourne a number of students are holed up in one of the buildings.
Claim they are supporting Palestine and think the gov should do more to help the situation.
But are they supporting Palestine, or are they being anti sematic under another guise?
The uni has the largest number of Jewish students and staff of all Victoria's unis.
Thye have been attacked and harassed by other students, to the extent that Jewish students and staff have been told to work and study at home for the foreseeable future

Re: Death of Innocence.
Kicking butt ??
"Israel has one of the world's most powerful militaries with advanced surveillance systems and weapons.
It also receives more than three billion dollars in US military aid every year."
This is not a war it is a massacre.
One of the most powerful armies on earth with the unlimited support of THE most powerful nation, whose government is heavily influenced by AIPAC (look it up)
against a people with no tanks, no airforce, no nuclear bombs ( which the Israeli defence minister want to use on Gaza ) who have amongst them a militant group
initially supported by Israel but, having served their purpose, have fallen out with Netanyahu.

Re: Death of Innocence.
#127 If any of those students are alien to Australia John, then I would suggest they return home immediately and convey their feelings to their own government. The Australian government is elected there by Australian citizens to look after Australian interests and not for them to forment unrest in a healthy environment. As I said any University and it’s bag of miscontents should be shutdown and those having no claim to residence part sooner than later or face deportation, which any government of whatever hue, should be considering right now.

The fact of this is that all those students acting in this manner are home grown.
A spokesman for overseas students, the majority of whom are from Asia, made a statement that they would not engage in such a manner as they are only guests in the country.
I hope his comments come true.

In 1995, the French government publicly admitted that shortly after signing an armistice with Nazi Germany in 1940, the Vichy regime was responsible for implementing racist policies and contributing to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
