This lays testimony to the very sick state of the world. Sydney Australia another pro pally rally is planned for Oct 12 Hyde park to the Opera House to ‘celebrate’ Oct 7 - 23. Police have a stop application before the Supreme Court 🙏 good luck with that . Our Opera House was of course the location for the Oct 9 -23 pro pally rally chanting “gas the Jews “ according to many reports . Some of our society are seriously sick . And I’m bloody sick of seeing my country being desecrated by a pernicious poisonous mob of nihilistic narcissists 🇳🇮🇳🇮

I don't think it's either of the reasons you mention. I think they have invested themselves in a daily routine of Jew hatred be it demonstrations, social media postings, etc that has become their lives. What will they do without that entertainment? Protest the killing of Christians in Nigeria? Hardly.

Exactly. These people are mostly empty suits who need this conflict to give their empty lives meaning. Greta has nothing beyond her gig as a paid agitator.

It means that their raison d’être is a fantasy and their purpose in life is to praise Satan - and how do you explain that to your parents who took a 2nd mortgage to finance your worthless class time.

And at the end you only have a bunch of looser friends.

Maybe the world will wake up to the fact that their real reason for being pro pal is that they just hate Jews and wrapped that hate in a pretty scarf…

There are the actual Palestinian people and then there is the Palestinian cause, and the two occasionally overlap but are very different and have very different goals.

The Palestinian cause is wholly symbolic and serves as a vehicle for the lost souls of the post-Christian West to find meaning and purpose and act out revolutionary fantasies from a safe distance. Free Palestine! turns the Palestinians into a Christ-like sacred victim who represents all the sins of our ancestors—imperialism colonialism racial bigotry etc—and once again the Jew serves as scapegoat, who will die for our sins and let a new pure community rise from its ashes. This is meant to represent a total repudiation of the "West" and to usher in the reign of Social Justice, the great secular faith of our time.

The Palestinians are just totems and props in this Passion Play and a new set of characters cast in the 20th century Left's attempted rerun of the French/October/Marxist Revolutions. The emotional, social and political needs of the "vanguard class", which more or less boil down to watching the blood of the oppressor flow while they get to bask in unearned moral superiority while still maintaining luxe Western lives, are always the primary goal. What was best for the actual Palestinian people has never once been considered.

This Western emotional, moral and political imperialism continues to cause so much misery, but odious demons like Albanese and the rest of the Jew haters cannot part with their sacred cause, they need "Justice" to prevail no matter how much misery and death is required. The Palestinians and Israel are simply a stage-set or backdrop for them to act out their own personal psychodramas and grab center stage for a moment. They cannot allow peace to break out, it's the worst thing that could happen to them. They need to see Jews punished and will not accept any other ending here.

Free Palestine! from the Western Left!

Agree with every word you wrote.

“What was best for the actual Palestinian people has never once considered.” is one cornerstone.

The second is „They need to see Jews punished and will not accept any other ending here.”.

I am mildly optimistic because more and more people in the Western world see what is happening and have had more than enough of the pro-pali demonstrations. Shove your Palestine up your *** gets main stream.

After yesterday's attack in Manchester there can be no more deliberate confusion or obfuscation about the meaning of "Globalize the Intifada".

The Jew haters at the very least should be forced to defend their words and deeds, as their cries for supposed Justice and Liberation are obvioulsy a very thin veil covering the newest eruption of the world's oldest hatred.

I don't foresee any sudden outbreaks of courage or clarity among our liberal ruling classes, as they still exist in a world where all the incentives point to denouncing Israel. Western liberalism aka Social Justice is at root a reflexive victim worship and the Palestinians currently sit at the top of the victim hierarchy and the victim is always right. I don't know how many more Jews will need to be attacked and/or killed for this mania to break, but we're still closer to the beginning here than the end.

I can't decide if the so-called "Social Justice" is the new tower of Babel or a new golden calf idol. Perhaps it is both for different worshippers. Warshippers, really.

All of these “Pro-Palestinians” should spend just 2 days living in Gaza! Excellent essay, Avi

Palestine and Palestinians are hoaxes. Once that is understood, they are straw men and scare crows. They exist only to impersonate, scare and banish. They only exist as an Arab Muslim and Marxist tool against Jews, Israel, the long annihilation, genocidal dream of lowlives and morons. So what else is new?

Hamas doesn’t care about ordinary Palestinians to the extent there are any. It only cares about its ideology and the same goes with the so-called pro Palestine groups, though they are mostly just anti semites. So it’s hardly surprising Hamas and its Western tools are against the Trump proposal. There is nothing in it for them except defeat.

There is one fundamental problem. Bad behavior is not punished and often is actually rewarded e,g, Obama gave $120 billion to Iran, Biden gave billions more to Iran, $13 billion annually to U.N.

Bad behavior by nations or individuals need to be punished and we would have substantially less bad behavior. It is that simple. Reward and punishment.

This peace deal will go nowhere. Hamas will not give up under any circumstances their prime focus which is to erase Israel. The hate Jews crowd will not give up because, like Hamas, their goal is to eliminate Israel and its people, in my opinion. Appreciate President Trump's efforts but it takes two to tango and Hamas doesn't want to dance with the Israelis.

So glad to know that those who want to see more war are upset by the prospect of peace. Tells me israel isn't getting too badly screwed by not totally destroying hamas. Hopefully it will come, just on another day.

The real Jew haters have now exposed themselves.

Retribution will be unfortunate but resolute.

Hopefully their families understand.

Israel completely removed itself from the strip in 2005. The hamas led massacres, rapes and kidnappings forced Israel back in and now these clowns are railing about them fighting for their freedom and ending a so-called occupation that hadn't existed for 18 years.

..................................................................................................................................................................................................

“‘Deradicalisation’ is a sanitised term for neutering Palestinians and forcing them to accept their subjugation,” said former Al Jazeera and Reuters editor Barry Malone in one of more than a dozen furious tweets trashing the plan and its various components. “It is not radical to fight for your freedom.”

When the world celebrates terrorism as long as it is against the Jews, something is very sick in the human soul.

I see no one in the UN batting an eyelid about the massacre of Christians in Africa, or tent cities springing up in our bastions of higher education cheering on Boko Haram - the same Islamic terror group with a different name than Hamas, but all funded by Iraq, all with the same intent; the Jews FIRST, then the rest of the world. As long as they are still Jews to be murdered and Israel to demonize, why bother with others?

Well peace or even something less then peace that stops the fighting takes away a talking point that many antisemites and Israel haters use to make their hate seem more socially acceptable to the people who have no sense of history or education when it comes to Jews and their connection to the land. In my daily interactions with many people I am amazed at the depth of their ignorance or hate when it comes to the Jew's and their belief systems. Every thing from "but you do believe in the divinity of Jesus, right?" Or the Jews control the whole world and that they "actually attacked themselves to gain advantage over the people in Gaza". A lot of it egged on by foreign governments who are at odds with the U.S. Russia and China along with Iran who support various on line sites that push this hateful shit in a attempt to weaken the U.S. by sowing discord among the various population groups here in the states. They seem to post under various avatars to make it seem more mainstream to hate Jews and support violent movements.
