Gillard supports Israel
Nov 17^th, 2012 at 8:40am

How do the anti-Gillard fan club feel about her now? I think she's said the wrong thing and her comments condemning Palestine will come back to haunt her at the next election.

Quote:

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has condemned the attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip, saying the rocket attacks will not help the Palestinian campaign for self-determination.

In a statement, Ms Gillard said Australia was gravely concerned by the escalating conflict.

''The government condemns the repeated rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip and calls on Hamas to cease these immediately,'' Ms Gillard said.

''Australia supports Israel's right to defend itself against these indiscriminate attacks. Such attacks on Israel's civilian population are utterly unacceptable.''

I know this thread is duplicated in Politicians Suck, but I was curious to know also how Australian Muslims view her comments. She has drawn a line in the sand obviously.

Politically - the Greens will not agree with her words, but they have been condemned also by both major parties. Any views they might have will be ignored by the media.

I was surprised, Abu. I didn't expect her to be so wilfully ignorant or to try to perpetuate the absolute bullshit perception of the current escalation that is being drummed into us by the media.

No mention anywhere of the mentally disabled man the Israelis killed prior to the rockets because he approached the border or the fact that medical help was delayed by the oppressors for 6 hours - probably the reason he died. Tragic.

You would be scared like a little girl.

I never said you weren't?
Yeah I would be so scared, then you can just imagine how scared I would be if I was an innocent Palestinian civilian...
