They have been arguing about Palestine/Israel for over 70 years and hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

Some just want to keep arguing.

Or those who think Australia has a mandate over fishing in the Great Australian Bite.

No one cares about the occupation of Jordan, Southern Lebanon or Egypt. Not even the locals.

Do prawns feel pain?

**** Islam.


(Can I say that?)


Apparently it is OK to say **** Christtianity, **** Judaism, all ancient superstitions.

But if you also say **** Islam, that's instant wacism and 'islamophobia'.



Open, rational discourse has been hijacked and suppressed by people with shite morals, shite values, shite cultures because any rational discussion if their allegiances would demonstrate deep, unbundging, entrenched stupidity: Islamic fanatics, lefty fanatics, green fanatics. They have occupied the heights of public discourse throughout the universities, the media and the bureaucracy.

The trouble is, Israeli Holy Land bulldozers take bathroom, ballroom, wood shed, wife's sewing room, and chooks.

The Christians did their fair share of Jew killing too:


Google AI:

It is impossible to provide a precise total for the number of Jews killed in all the Crusades, as the violence spanned two centuries and reliable comprehensive records are unavailable. However, historical sources provide estimates for key massacres:


Rhineland Massacres (1096, First Crusade): This was the first major, organized anti-Jewish violence in Europe tied to the Crusades. Estimates for the total number of Jews killed in the cities of Speyer, Worms, Mainz, Cologne, and others range widely, from approximately 2,000 to 12,000 people. Some sources estimate that the total casualties across Germany and Northern France might have been one-fourth to one-third of the Jewish population at the time.


Siege of Jerusalem (1099, First Crusade): When the Crusaders captured Jerusalem, they massacred thousands of its inhabitants, both Muslims and Jews. While the exact figures are debated by historians, some sources suggest thousands of Jews were trapped in their synagogues and burned to death or killed. Estimates for the total people killed in the city range widely, with some chroniclers suggesting up to 70,000 in total for Muslims and Jews combined, though modern scholars often view this as an exaggeration.


Shepherd's Crusades (1251 and 1320): These later, popular movements (not official Holy Land campaigns) also targeted Jewish communities in France. The 1320 "Shepherd's Crusade" resulted in the destruction of about 140 Jewish communities in the path of the crusaders.


The Crusades initiated centuries of persecution and pogroms that led to thousands more deaths and the eventual expulsion of Jews from several European countries, including England and France. The violence during this era was unprecedented in its organized nature and widespread popular anti-Jewish sentiment it fostered among the masses.

Maybe a protest about 15 deaths is a bit different? Like, instant injuries and damage....
(People will be down to 4 guns each in Sydney, which is a great improvement. Although armies usually have 1 gun per soldier to reduce casualties.....!)
