James, you mentioned the decapitated babies a few times now, so I want to point out that this is a completely unverified claim. The CNN journalist who started it (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Sidner) has since retracted her claim. It was unbelievable in the first place, and had a strong "Saddam's soldiers killed babies in their cribs" vibe.

Some people (such as https://twitter.com/CJHopkins_Z23/status/1712938332726902906) might say that now the propaganda has done its work, it can be retracted to preserve an appearance of actual journalism.

I know you have a high regard for truth and honesty, so I hope you will take note that the "decapitated babies" is the fakest of fake news.

It is time Mr Bandt grows up.

The “refugee problem” was caused by the Arabs. Following resolution 181 in UN Haj Amin al-Husseini the then Mufti of Jerusalem in radio broadcasts urged Palestinians to move across the borders to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt so they would not be killed in crossfire while the Arab League forces would drive the Israelis into the Mediterranean Sea. That operation failed.

The leaders within the Arab League eventually got sick and tired of these squatting Palestinians inside their respective borders and using military forced the back across the borders, thus creating the “refugee dilemma” and blaming Israel for the situation. (A point here is that the “West Bank” refers to the west bank of river Jordan. Before the final resolution in UN the border between Israel and Transjordan was to be River Jordan, which the Arab League refused to accept.)

It has always been the purpose of the Arab League to maintain this status quo. The infiltration on Hamas is Shi’a inspired rather than Sunni, the latter is Arab League. You cannot call Hamas being Palestinians. Hamas was formed in 1988.

Thanks, James to alerting us to this. We are told to pray for our leaders and I do truly hope they can see the error of their ways and repent soon. However, would it be wrong for me to pray that failing a change, he gets air lifted with all his mates and dropped into Hamas territory to talk about loving and caring feelings that Hamas might show to their enemies, especially an infidel in their territory? We both know how short this discussion would be.

Can’t stand Adam Bandt, he’s always been a smug idiot. To not condemn terrorists, because that’s what they are, is stupid in light of the atrocities they have committed. The stupid thing is these people are all the same people, they just have different religions! It gives terror groups like Hamas an opportunity to do vile things essentially when people in the West who should no better, condemn Israel. I wonder how Bandt would react to being dragged from his bed in the early hours and threatened with death, or having his wife raped or his children mutilated!!!

Could reincarnation be, after all, be true? Perhaps Adam Bandt was Dr. Josef Goebbles in his previous life?

If anyone didn’t have the measure of the Greens before, they surely have now.

Can someone please tell me what the elected Hamas government has done to improve the lives of the Palestinian people since it came to government in 2006?

Maybe Mr Bandt can enlighten me??

Communists have no idea of history or proportionate response to a threat to your existence.

They call themselves Greens, but they are really the Reds under our beds who are working with Communist governments to destroy our reputation, parliament and country.

I wonder how much say greens Senator Mehreen Saeed Faruqi,

first Muslim woman to be a member of an Australian parliament, had in Bandit’s decision- no doubt this resolution will go to the Senate for a vote. Can’t have a greens civil war.

They do not know or read or understand the Bible. If they did, they wouldn't say the things they say

If I were a Bible'ish Christian, I think I'd say that the Greens would burn in hell. Such is their evil.

Thanks James! What a despicable group of people!

Adam Bandt should be kicked out of his own party. Aren’t they known as the Greens? Someone should tell him to fight for the environment instead of worrying his sorry little brain about international politics.

Did anyone see him at the protest at the Opera House? Maybe he can be arrested for inciting violence!

The Greens have moved a far cry from their stated goals to save the planet sustainably.

Dear oh dear James here you go again. Only because you have to. It was idiots like those two holding the banner who did not oppose similar craziness in Germany in the 1930s who caused so much damage. Not to mention those in the audience who did nothing but fall in behind. They're your neighbours. Sort them out before losers like these pollies get too much control of this narrative. When you know and have so much evidence that the leadership is mentally deranged you are allowed to do something about it.

He is so, so, so … argh, I can’t think of the adjective that sums it all up.

Paul talks of people like Bandt in Romans: Professing to be wise, they became fools.

His “stunt” in our Parliament yesterday spoke more about his fight for relevance than anything else.

Sad little man.
