Pity poor Chekhov. It is hard to think of anything that would have appalled him more than actors ending STC’s production of The Seagull by donning keffiyehs.
While calling for media outlets to accurately present ‘context’, the journalists’ open letter completely misrepresents the origins of the Palestinian refugee crisis.
By accusing Israel of genocide the United Nations only helps Hamas and facilitates the Islamists’ genocidal plans.
Under the pretence of being even-handed the government is giving Hamas’s supporters a legitimacy they do not deserve, fuelling division and radicalisation.
In accusing Israel of breaching international law, Hamas’s enablers are misrepresenting the law of armed conflict while letting terrorists off the hook.
Far from being a recent aberration, Hamas’s goal of exterminating Jews reflects a long history of Islamist anti-Semitism.
International humanitarian law was developed to prevent future genocides not to allow Hamas to enact a new one.
They weren’t hunting for Israelis, much less for soldiers; they were hunting for Jews. And the idiots who cheer them on in Australia are every bit as morally culpable.
Far from there being a moral case for the voice, enshrining separatism in the Constitution would make a tragic situation worse.
