Good to see the education system that Hamas runs is being exposed for teaching the next generation to hate Jews like they do.
I doubt there are any children who would not fire a gun to Kill Jews if they could. There is no peace when propaganda is being used instead of education. Remember the Hitler youth?
The Islamic Jihad rocket landed in the hospital car park and no one was killed.
Perhaps we need to show our flag everywhere instead of Ukraine, Israel, Palestine, etc.
btw, Palestine has never been a country, never made its own currency, etc. It is a fiction made up by the Romans after the Jewish rebellion in 70AD. They renamed Israel after the extinct Philistines (David v Goliath) who were exterminated by Nebuchadnezzar but they called them Palestinians in the Latin.
If you are following the war in Israel closely, you will have seen dozens of photos of ordinary people who were gunned down in their home, parents murdered in front of children, and I won't go any further. Many are the videos taken by the terrorists themselves as they perpetrated these heinous crimes. Some of these selfies fell into Israeli soldiers' hands, and one wonders how they could restrain themselves in not acting the same in revenge. On the Palestinian side they lied about one of their own missiles that fell short, they put "casualties" in front of bombed out buildings and said, "Look at what the Israeli's have done!" Then the Palestinian supporters in various countries around the world, turn on Al Jazeera, or the ABC and got 'Misinformation' from the media. The damage however is done, and these supporters punch women for being Jewish, chant vile comments and threaten to destroy embassies or Jewish properties, claiming the underdog status. Give me a break!
I can't work it out, James. Two friends I shared coffee with this week , despite the recent horrors by Hamas, still retain a firm jawed resolution that the Palestinian cause is wholly just, and Israel is forever the tyrant.
There will be no moving these people from their position, no matter what atrocities, what horrors Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinians commit. They line up with the "gas the Jews" mob, but stop just short of saying that themselves.
I am reluctant to write this, but maybe it is as simple as an inherited, shared, and deep seated hatred of Jews??
Yes, I think many people have an irrational ingrained hatred of the Jews. Hitler succeeded in convincing Germans that the Jews were scum and should be gotten rid of. He obviously tapped into something deeply anti semitic in Germans. And that makes many German people complicit in the horrific crimes against the Jews in WW2.
Just one example that annoys people: Jews are envied and despised for their incredible business acumen and success which leads to great wealth. Shakespeare’s ‘Merchant of Venice’ vilified the Jews as greedy, wealthy and predatory.
As I commented elsewhere, people ie. the world love to hate the Jews and Christians and are more than happy to firstly silence them, then isolate them in different ways and then finally to exterminate them.
Hamas aligned with neonazi and supremicists . Australia's Opera house protest going international. An Australian neo-Nazi group posted on October 7 messages about Hamas’ invasion of Israel on Telegram and wrote, “Israel and the Jews are under attack and are reaping what they have sown. HEIL HAMAS. HEIL VICTORY” and “HEIL HAMAS!!!! ISRAEL's Reckoning is upon them.”(MEMRI)
I think the Egyptians might have something to say about that.
The Egyptians, better than anybody, understand Hamas' roots in the Muslim Brotherhood. Hence their determination not to take in Palestinians.
We in the West, however, are not so discerning. I see Lefties in the US and even in Scotland (can you believe it) are calling for Palestinians to migrate there.
Yes but this points out the hypocrisy of moslem countries who want israel gone and who use the people trapped in Gaza for their propaganda. If the moslem countries genuinely cared for the Palestinians each country would resettle some of these 2.3 million people.
Israel could annex part of northern Gaza city and reduce their long border that must be guarded all the time and increasing (slightly) the distance from gaza to their settlements.
That’s so true. Egypt doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of the Muslim Brotherhood.
And everyone is frightened of Iran.
It’s only Westerners who are stupid enough to cheer on the terrorists. These fools have no understanding at all of the true nature of militant Islam or whole conflict,and how it will affect the whole world.
These lefties are just infidels to Muslims and are high on their list of those they would wipe out.
Wonderful writing as usual, James. You have an amazing gift to put your finger on exactly what is wrong.
Hamas is the elected government of Gaza. Many voices have said how good they’ve been for Gaza but at the same time all these Palestinians have IGNORED the continuing terrorist activities of Hamas. Does that now add up to being complicit in the atrocities done against Israel? You can’t have it both ways.
I am desperately sorry for the innocent Palestinians but you can’t back both sides. You either call out your evil terrorist government or you stand with Israel. Remember Gaza was barricaded by the Israelis ONLY because Hamas was/is committed under Mohammed’s oath to the extermination of every Jew.
If I had neighbours like that I’d be doing exactly the same! I can move away but Israel can’t and why should they? And for that matter, why should I?
What absolutely disgusts me is there are far too many people who are already secretly anti semitic for whatever irrational reason - who knows? - and they’ll use any opportunity to express it. This present conflict gives them the opportunity to get on their self righteous bigoted high horse so they can damn the Jews. No doubt Hitler also tapped into this secret seething hatred of the Jews. The world and satan just love to hate Christians and Jews.
The Ukraine Nazis could stop the war now if they would stop killing the Russian citizens living in the eastern areas of the Ukraine and allow them equal rights with other Ukrainians.
I want to scream! Talk about ignorance! This country is in huge trouble with people like that in power. God help us! Maybe the plandemic has made so many go mad
What I do find curious is ..that just as the world is waking up to the bullshit that is the Ukranian war
and its corrupt leader ,within a milli-second ,its over ! and almost just like a miracle the wonderful and humanitarian USA ,find another poor scapegoat to ensure the war machine keeps getting fed and the $'s keep rolling in. And just as quick Tony blink'n and you'll miss him and the illustrious brain dead Biden, are there to stir up a frenzy to an ever more gullible public.
Where do these anti semites get off....every time the Greens, Labor pollies and any other person stating Israel should not be bombing Gaza says “they know Hamas committed atrocities....But”!!....
THERE IS NO “BUT” ...get that into your heads!!!
Palestinians demonstrators....there is no BUT!!!
The Palestinians in Gaza , in Sydney and everywhere else in the world should have gotten rid of Hamas in Gaza....they are the problem. Or are they?? (Palestinians in Sydney yelling “gas the Jews” doesn’t fill me with confidence.
From my side of the fence if you don’t agree with them you either leave or stand up.
You're spot on. The Hamas Charter calls for the destruction of Israel. You cannot make peace with people who have, as their stated goal, your obliteration.
How do you negotiate with people who want to destroy you?
"Ok, what if you only destroy half of us? Would that be acceptable?"
I don't understand why people don't understand how ludicrous this is.

There sure is madness and double mindedness where ever the wind is blowing. My Mum taught me ‘ you can’t have your cake and eat it too’!!
James Macpherson for PM. !

That Al Jazeera is an undisguised anti-Israel and Jew-baiting station.

Your two mates are of a reprobate mind. Reprobation is beyond redemption.

Fascinating story of his life, his time with Shin Bet and his conversion to Christianity. About to start reading his book again, ‘ Son of Hamas’.
Good book
Have just listened to an interview with Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of the founder of Hamas.
He loves Israelis!!!
Why is that?, you say. Because they were nice to him?
No, they actually tortured him in prison.
But he found that Hamas in prison was even worse, torturing their own people to make sure they were not siding with the Israelis.
Hamas have no regard for the Palestinian people.
I don't know why the IDF doesn't simply empty part or all of Gaza permanently by forcing the people to move south or into Egypt.
I think the Egyptians might have something to say about that.
The Egyptians, better than anybody, understand Hamas' roots in the Muslim Brotherhood. Hence their determination not to take in Palestinians.
We in the West, however, are not so discerning. I see Lefties in the US and even in Scotland (can you believe it) are calling for Palestinians to migrate there.
King Hussein of Jordan stated the same thing: No country wants to be saddled with he Gazans.
Yes but this points out the hypocrisy of moslem countries who want israel gone and who use the people trapped in Gaza for their propaganda. If the moslem countries genuinely cared for the Palestinians each country would resettle some of these 2.3 million people.

How true. It is these lefties who have encouraged moslem immigration to Aust which is an insane policy.
Now they must keep the moslems happy, little realising the believing moslems will never support their stupid ideologies and anti God teachings.
“And, for just a second, I wondered how a teenager had become Minister for Industry.”
😂 😂
I love your humour !!!
The average teenager has more brains, surely?
I have two teenagers and confirm this is true, but only just

Thanks June. I'm glad you're enjoying the articles. And thanks for your regular comments.
God save and protect Israel, God save and protect Ukraine and please God save and protect Australia, especially from all this stupidity
The Ukraine Nazis could stop the war now if they would stop killing the Russian citizens living in the eastern areas of the Ukraine and allow them equal rights with other Ukrainians.
That ancient promise that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those that curse Israel will be cursed still applies.
The way the Australian government treats Israel will have consequences. I believe that.
I know that - not just believe.
I want to scream! Talk about ignorance! This country is in huge trouble with people like that in power. God help us! Maybe the plandemic has made so many go mad
Maybe. Or maybe the pandemic exposed a madness that had been growing for quite some time, waiting for a moment to explode. I'm not sure.
You are probably correct. By the way. I really love your work, it is entertaining, truthful and always a great read
The pandemic saw people hand over their brains to the government.
People were very gullible unfortunately
A human characteristic.
What I do find curious is ..that just as the world is waking up to the bullshit that is the Ukranian war
and its corrupt leader ,within a milli-second ,its over ! and almost just like a miracle the wonderful and humanitarian USA ,find another poor scapegoat to ensure the war machine keeps getting fed and the $'s keep rolling in. And just as quick Tony blink'n and you'll miss him and the illustrious brain dead Biden, are there to stir up a frenzy to an ever more gullible public.
Who suffers in the end, ?
The poor innocent citizens of both sides
Who wins ? The evil and corrupt !
FOLLOW THE MONEY !!!
That’s well said!
The munitions makers in USA supply everyone and make squillions out of war
Where do these anti semites get off....every time the Greens, Labor pollies and any other person stating Israel should not be bombing Gaza says “they know Hamas committed atrocities....But”!!....
THERE IS NO “BUT” ...get that into your heads!!!

"Ok, what if you only destroy half of us? Would that be acceptable?"
I don't understand why people don't understand how ludicrous this is.
Yes, it makes you wonder about the integrity of the Palestinians who were quite happy with their Hamas terrorist government.
Thanks for putting it straight , straight up the Muppets brainwashed pusilaminous but hole, Rise up boots on the ground protest never comply....
