Comments on: The P.M., the U.N. and the M.E. https://www.jwire.com.au/the-p-m-the-u-n-and-the-m-e/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Sun, 30 Sep 2012 13:31:56 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Paul Winter https://www.jwire.com.au/the-p-m-the-u-n-and-the-m-e/#comment-21963 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 13:31:56 +0000 http://www.jwire.com.au/?p=28478#comment-21963 I would just note:
1) the Australian crawl is wonderful in the swimming pool; in the cesspool that is the UN, it is demeaning
2) Julia’s call for the resumpition of negotiations, the need to make concessions and avoid provocations is hypocritical. The PA breaks its obligations to negotiate, it has NEVER (!!!) compromised on anything and its actions are always provocative. This false equivalence means that her government’s policy is anti-Israel, her personal sympathy notwithstanding.
3) praising the PA for state-building is utterly hollow; the PA has done nothing, NOTHING, to set up state institutions. It exists on the charity of the West and Israel (the PA owes Israel some $300m for electricity alone) because its mohammedan brothers ever ready to call for shahids are somewhat chary when it comes to shekels.

I recognise we are a minority. Critisizing Labour by using the State of Israel is unhelpful to us and untrue.Lets leave party politics to local issues.

Really, so, as the Libs have had their chances to express views on Israel, and a former Prime Minister in John Howard, why don’t you, Noah, mate, enlighten us with some relevant quotes of Libs abandoning Israel !!!!

over to you………………

Thankyou Shirlee; Far to many western Jews take their freedoms fo granted. This has not been the historical norm. It is also largely illusion. If you’ve been following events in Europe, Jews have been murdered in France and attacked in Germany. The cowardly (IMHO) response by the Chief Rabbi in Berlin, “stop wearing kipot”. Here in the USA it is becoming increasingly dangerous to wear a Star of David or Chai. We must never forget that we Jews are a tiny minority in every nation but Israel. And as such, are always at the mercy of the majority and the state. It is also why ALL Jews must ALWAYS support Israel. If you disagree with Israeli policies you can join organizations that work for that change. We’ve seen far to many Jews, including Israelis, mostly from the far left actively working to undermine the State of Israel!

Hopefully we won’t have to worry Michael, Labour shouldn’t be here for much longer

The Libs would be saying the same if in the same position.We may not like the comments but at least we should live in the real world.
