You remote Southerners don't know the torment of being born an instrument of hate from the axis of Evil.

Yeah maybe, the IDF should have just used these mercenaries to save the drone ey.
They are pretty effective at killing innocents.

What a guy
He says he shot Salem simply because he tried to retrieve the body of his beloved older brother Mohammed.
“It’s hard for me to understand why he [did that] and it also doesn’t really interest me,” Raab says in a video interview posted on X. “I mean, what was so important about that corpse?”
Gotta give greta some credit. At least she is trying to get into Gaza to protest. not like these peanuts in sydney and melbourne.

Ah yes, because the average Australian has the ways and means to "get into gaza to protest" (a hilariously puerile description). "Peanuts" protesting in Sydney, Melbourne, and worldwide are a significant reason that there is now widespread awareness of what's happening in Palestine, and the more that people visibly show opposition, the more that governments are forced to acknowledge it, and slowly, slowly pull their fingers out, impose sanctions etc. If you don't think governments feel the pressure from protests, then you are, once again, wrong.

This is hilarious coming from an Australian Trump lover who only cares about what effects him directly. You do know it's possible to be concerned about Palestine and Sudan at the same time, right? Remember when you were breaking out in hives about both lockdowns AND masks? Kinda like that, but slightly more important.
Bud, you don't have to give a tinker's cuss about atrocities that don't happen in Australia, but trying to shut down other people that do, in the most smoothbrained way possible, mind, makes you a wildly shitty person. If seeing videos and reading accounts of atrocities happening abroad doesn't evoke empathy in you, I doubt you even think about the wellbeing of the people lucky enough to live in your *own* backyard.

Supporting privileged people that do for a cause they no nothing about is just as bad. All while Sudan sits quietly in the corner wondering what they did wrong to not be seen by these privileged useful idiots.

You gotta admit though the biggest fashion accessory in history during the 70's and 80's was the anti apartheid cause against the white South African government. That turned out okay for that bunch of fashionistas didn't it. Don't see why it would be any different this time around.

Point being that anti-vax is all about fashion and shows no commitment to humanitarian values.
There is no way on earth that you can be vehemently anti-vax as you appear to be and still claim to show compassion or benevolence.

My stance on vaccines has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, what an absurd thing to assume. Questioning what gets injected into you and your kids is one of the most compassionate things you can do.
We know you got the covid vaccine to protect the vulnerable........ Just like the radio told you to.

Hope you are correct but feel this may be different in a number of ways.
*South African govt was not committing an open ethnic cleansing genocide program.
* It was not being supported fully by the USA and most of the West so openly.
*It did not bring down the so called rules based order that we have generally been living with since the end of WW2.
* Israel are now actively going against any international norm or law, just bombed yet another sovereign country aiming at the people they are meant to be negotiating with to end the 'war.' A so called ally of the USA, with their biggest base in ME.
* Have most likely radicalised a generation of people to hate Israel and the hypocrisy of the West, hamas were a national group without global Jihad ambitions just focused on Palestine. Who Israel and the West are supporting elsewhere are in Syria are al queda, Isis etc. These groups will recruit and I would guess this will lead to terrorist attacks in the West.
* It has created a toxic environment politically and socially throughout the world, see Bondi Beach for Australia's example and is giving rise to fascist white supremacists groups. They don't even hide it now.
* Real anti semitism, not anti Zionism will increase, will Israelis be safe anywhere?
Let's not mention the likely escalation with Iran which could force Israel's hand to go nuclear and drag the USA into another ME war which will make Iraq look like a picnic.
That's just scratching the surface, but yeah people just protesting Israeli' genocide to be cool.....

You forgot about October 7th where Hamas invaded Israel, killed 1200+ and still have captives deep in Gaza tunnels to this day.
Such a great organisation to protest in our cities and now Bondi beach. Where is next?

You gotta admit though the biggest fashion accessory in history during the 70's and 80's was the anti apartheid cause against the white South African government. That turned out okay for that bunch of fashionistas didn't it. Don't see why it would be any different this time around.
Hope you are correct but feel this may be different in a number of ways.
*South African govt was not committing an open ethnic cleansing genocide program.
* It was not being supported fully by the USA and most of the West so openly.
*It did not bring down the so called rules based order that we have generally been living with since the end of WW2.
* Israel are now actively going against any international norm or law, just bombed yet another sovereign country aiming at the people they are meant to be negotiating with to end the 'war.' A so called ally of the USA, with their biggest base in ME.
* Have most likely radicalised a generation of people to hate Israel and the hypocrisy of the West, hamas were a national group without global Jihad ambitions just focused on Palestine. Who Israel and the West are supporting elsewhere are in Syria are al queda, Isis etc. These groups will recruit and I would guess this will lead to terrorist attacks in the West.
* It has created a toxic environment politically and socially throughout the world, see Bondi Beach for Australia's example and is giving rise to fascist white supremacists groups. They don't even hide it now.
* Real anti semitism, not anti Zionism will increase, will Israelis be safe anywhere?Let's not mention the likely escalation with Iran which could force Israel's hand to go nuclear and drag the USA into another ME war which will make Iraq look like a picnic.
That's just scratching the surface, but yeah people just protesting Israeli' genocide to be cool.....
You forgot about October 7th where Hamas invaded Israel, killed 1200+ and still have captives deep in Gaza tunnels to this day.
You missed the point but no surprise there.
Carry on....

Ah yes, because the average Australian has the ways and means to "get into gaza to protest" (a hilariously puerile description). "Peanuts" protesting in Sydney, Melbourne, and worldwide are a significant reason that there is now widespread awareness of what's happening in Palestine, and the more that people visibly show opposition, the more that governments are forced to acknowledge it, and slowly, slowly pull their fingers out, impose sanctions etc. If you don't think governments feel the pressure from protests, then you are, once again, wrong.
Off ya go Hiccups. I’ll pay for your flight champ.
Oh, anyone can just fly into Gaza? Hang on, I'll just get my bank details for ya.
I'll send you to Tel Aviv, you can begin your protest there champ as that is where it belongs. Not here in Australia.
You have such a cute little idea of how the world works, don't you. I'd like to squeeze your impish cheeks and pat you on your soft, soft head.
Sudan not on your radar? Just cultural appropriation of white people in keffiyehs as it's trending?

no i didn't. I don't give a fuck about Hamas or Israel. I don't want to see Israel flags as much as i don't want to see Palestine or Hamas flags waved in Australia.

Sounds exactly like your anti-vax ideology Burls.Nope, my anti vax stance applies to everyone around the world equally. Still does.
Beside the point.
Point being that anti-vax is all about fashion and shows no commitment to humanitarian values.
There is no way on earth that you can be vehemently anti-vax as you appear to be and still claim to show compassion or benevolence.My stance on vaccines has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, what an absurd thing to assume. Questioning what gets injected into you and your kids is one of the most compassionate things you can do.
We know you got the covid vaccine to protect the vulnerable........ Just like the radio told you to.
The benefits of vaccines are inarguable.
To believe otherwise is self-delusion, you're operating on a belief-based system rather than an evidence-based system.
"Questioning what gets injected into you and your kids is one of the most compassionate things you can do. "
I bet the parents of all the kids who died from easily preventable diseases because they didn't vaccinate wished they hadn't followed the latest flat-earth trends.
How's this guy Burleigh, still confused between Hamas and Palestinian people.
He's just not into compassion.
