As an Australian, no we didn’t. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it’s withdrawn.

    True story, when you drop your country on a bunch of indigenous people, it’s a crime.

      So let’s get rid of most states in the world and start tracking who were the indigenous people there. Then relocate everyone based on the results.

        No need to relocate. Just make sure they’re able to take part in the governing of their current country. Really, we already looked at this problem in the rest of the world when Colonialism ended after World War 2. Yeah that means Israel isn’t going to be a Jewish country anymore but fuck around and find out.

          Well, palestinians had the possibility to govern their current country. Unfortunately, it lasted only one election.

          However, that’s not necessarily the fault of the neighboring country.

            Sure because Israel didn’t blockade Gaza entirely in an effort to prevent Hamas from taking it’s seat as the Palestinian government. And Israel totally didn’t embark on a campaign of assassination and destroying civil infrastructure and personnel.

            You’re beyond gilding the lily at this point. You’re straight up ignoring history and flirting with the idea that Palestinians don’t deserve a government.

              So are you saying that Palestinians have a terrible government because of Israel? That’s like saying Slovakia has a terrible government and it’s 100% Austria’s fault.

              Also, I am strongly convinced that Palestinians should have their own state. However, it cannot be a state lead by terrorists and we should not tolerate if it ends that way.

                Yeah that’s exactly what I’m saying. And come back to me when Austria is preventing Slovakia from actually governing or building any infrastructure.

                  Sure. The thing is, Israel does not prevent Gaza from governing itself. The fact there are many security checks regarding what gets in is pretty logical considering the land is lead by a terrorist group.
