I feel it necessary to say something about the free Palestine marches currently
carrying on in Australia. Hamas or the PLO before them are just like the murdering
IRA wanting to replace Israel with their own version, in this case if Gaza is
anything to go on, an Islamic state persecuting gays, women indeed any minority and
free speech.
This is the problem with “self determination”, is the USA seriously going to hand
the country back to native Americans; Australia back to the aboriginals so we can
all live under patriarchal indigenous law? That does not take into account the
generations of non indigenous people who have lived there for a start.
I believe in the right of anybody to live anywhere on the earth so why should I want
Palestinians to gain sole control of one part of it. Knowing as we do that they will
impose a hell of Islam just like Iran. Ok Israel is not perfect but in the Middle
East I know where I’d rather live.
Islamic governments are the enemy of freedom and that’s probably why so many
moderate moslems choose to escape to Australia. I know I have many moslem friends.
The tactics of Hamas are disgusting and I can’t see how any intelligent person can
align with them, there is no excuse for what they did and it sours the whole free
Palestine movement.
