Tornado Alley (PROG)

You have been ragged on about some bizarre connection made in a poster's head conflating Australia's dealings with aborigines and israel's present day treatment of palestinians.

In a crossover between my rock hunter world and comparison of politics between israel's treatment of the gazans and present day australia's treatment of aborigines, I noticed that one of the best precious opal mining areas in Australia, Mintabie, has been returned to the aborigines and mining claims ceased. I cannot find an example of israel returning any land or resources to the palestinians. Now I will never be able to go to Mintabie and help plunder the opals, sigh.

The terrorist acts perpetrated against israel were horrendous--- no comfort in bothsideisms. Just tossing out a fact since you have been the subject of guff about treatment of aborigines in your country that are conveniently devoid of bringing the discussion up to the present.
