That was abysmal from Australia and Mal might be in big trouble trying to secure his contract extension after that. Tapine embarrassed the Aussie forward pack today. Off the top my head I can think of a good handful of questionable selections, whether it is personnel wise or positionally. Hynes, Ted...

It’s not the kindest possible interpretation. It is the interpretation any reasonable reader should arrive at.

It’s like someone saying that the country of China is an exponent of human rights abuse and interpreting that as them calling 1.4 billion Chinese citizens human rights abusers. Farcical.

Why have 120+ Palestinians been killed in the West Bank by settlers over the last couple weeks ? There is no Hamas there? 🤔 Self defence again? Collateral damage? Terrorism? What is it?

I don’t think much will come from it apart from maybe an agreement for the half dozen hostages with Russian passports to be released.

Great point about media interviews.

So much cowardice. So many are so scared of their own shadow and afraid of being cancelled and/or called anti-Semitic or an apologist for terrorism.

Mickey_Raider

🙌 Well said Nickman. You sound as angry as I feel. It is almost beyond comprehension that unqualified condemnation of children, women and babies being systematically killed in their thousands routinely descends into some weird geopolitical/political/ideological even theological footy match. I am con...

Where are you getting those numbers from? Literally from a terrorist group who would obliterate the entire western world if it had the capability. The numbers are pretty widely reported by the likes of Al Jazeera. As far as I can see it doesn’t even appear that Israel is disputing the death toll.

Mickey_Raider

Israel have slaughtered more than 300+ children just in the past 24 hours.

Israel provides funding, weapons and training to both Hamas and Hezbollah. It’s also in their best interests for the normalisation in relations between Saudi Arabia and Israel (which was just about to happen) to fall down (as it now has). The attack on Israel was in Iran’s best interests by militia...

Mickey_Raider

I think Iran is the key here. Israel can probably deal with skirmishes from Hamas, Hezbollah and Syria but if Iran gets involved this seriously risks escalating into a far wider conflict. It is one thing for the US to not put boots on the ground in Ukraine but I doubt they would limit their support ...

I don’t think questioning Boomers international law bona fides is much of a personal attack. I don’t think his views properly account for the nuances or realities of international law.

There are also reports from forensic pathologists about the atrocities committed by Hamas on October 7, including burning victims alive. Hamas are pure evil and anyone rooting for them needs their morals checked. Unfortunately as someone said earlier, the untold suffering being inflicted upon the Pa...

Typical woke inner city lefties obsessed with niche issues like starvation and genocide.

OK sure. Most people who have commented here have been horrified by the actions of both parties, but if you want to get into a pissing contest about who is the most badass, capturing, beheading and setting alight civilians trumps cutting off food, power and water, then bombing the crap out of milli...

It is incredibly galling to literally see videos almost in real time of Palestinian civilians and children being subjected to unthinkable barbarism.

To then jump on here and listen to bozos on their cultural Marxist soapbox declare that Israel is not acting in this way.

Mickey_Raider

Funny you mention not being able to see the forest for the trees. Do you think that using rhetoric calling for the destruction of a state is worse than actually engaging in the destruction of a state? Given they have the capability, I think it astounding that Israel haven't previously, and are not ...

Is a good pod. I'd say the most important thing to understand about the conflict is that if the positions were reversed and Hammas/Palestine had the more powerful army... then Israel would not exist. They would exterminate every Israeli man woman and child. And then they would celebrate. That is re...

I'm running with the Hamas killing their own civilians at the hospital and am siding with Biden. Sent from my SM-A536E using Tapatalk The evidence I've seen this morning suggests that it likely was caused by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket. As with most discussions, I'm happy to admit I was more th...

Imagine being that narrow minded that you condemn bombing hospitals and slaughtering babies without qualification.

Mickey_Raider

So Israel is bombing civilian hospitals now. Meanwhile their Western allies sputter, trip over their words and lay caveats everywhere trying not to condemn them too harshly lest they get branded anti-Semitic. Absolutely disgusted with the hypocrisy, double standards and muted condemnation coming out...

In the supposedly offensive scenario you have raised whereby the value of the property drops, does that not correspond with the tax payable on that unrealised value dropping at that time too? In any case, the raison d’être of the change is to move super closer towards what its proper object and purp...

Spud Dutton is probably in the midst of a three day Festival of No bender right now, and the bloke is likely too stupid to realise that he just stamped his papers to never be PM of this country, if it was ever in doubt.

And just now Dutton has walked back the mid campaign promise to hold a referendum for symbolic recognition.

My surprise, imagine it if you may.

Just Say whatever you Can to blow it up then just walk away afterwards.

Complete and utter disgrace.

For me a yes vote is more inherently racist. Yes says unless you get this politically expensive circus as an indigenous person can’t succeed - imo that is racist. I think indigenous just like any other group can find great success in which ever area of life they put their time skills and efforts in...

Devastated for many indigenous people today.

Still struggling to get my head around the fact that so called civilised countries like Australia, US and UK give the big thumbs up while Israel cuts off gas, electricity, food, water to Gaza. There are 1 million children there. It’s a pretty black and white war crime. Where the **** is the humanity...

I have no idea what the relevance of digging up arcane legislative instruments and citing ascriptions of what they consider terrorism is. IDF consider Hamas are terrorists and vice versa.

Absolutely the same for me... everytime this kicks off i try and read and educate myself to figure out who the good guy is and i just cant ever feel good about either side of this one.
