For all the words written about extremist Greens, I've always found Brown reasoned and thoughtful in his responses to questions.
He seems to deal in facts & principals rather than hyperbowl.
Having said all that this well maintained response to accusations of extremism will be shoot to hell come July, Hello senator Rhiannon.

A lot of people agree with Lee Rhiannon, but unfortunately it's not PC to defend Palestine, more's the pity. Israel is a very powerful nation and holds too much influence in our media, corporations & government, which has turned our politicians into a grovelling group of cowards.

I would think a few years ago - Bob Brown would have allowed Rhiannon to pursue this, but unfortunately he knows that the Greens have to compromise some of their values to accommodate the requirements of mainstream politics.

Facts are very rarely PC mantra... but the fact remains that israel is laying siege to palistinians.

Yes - Israel helped create, and has exacerbated, these human attrocities over many decades, but most western governments are beholden to them, so great is the Jewish influence.

While they control our media and continue to spread their propaganda tagging all Muslims as extremists, it deflects from the fact that the Israeli government both current and preceeding, are themselves extremists of the worst kind.

It 's not much of a seige really, only a wall to keep the terrorists away from Israeli women and children.
And their populations are growing in the 'seige' areas, not decreasing.
Their are 31 countries in total around the world that have or had walls to separate people for security issues, but we only ever hear about Israel's wall.
Do you really think it was better when Israeli schoolbuses and seaside cafe's were exploding?
If the UN objects so much to Israel's self defence, then why hasn't the UN ever suggested taking charge of Israel's security.
The reality is those fops won't as it's all too hard, so Israel must.
