brooklyn13, "...why hasn’t Hamas released the hostages, which would pave a way for a ceasefire there? I’m guessing they’re all dead or have been sold into slavery elsewhere but I’m sure you support the Al-Jazeera line, whatever it is"
Why didn't you include Haaretz in there. Leverage, i guess. Similar reasons why Israel has not released the thousands of Palestinians in Israeli jails.
Putting aside your stupid and immature sarcasm i agree it's a shame The Voice referendum failed, but even you (since you fake real interest so well) should know that the Palestine independent state vote of the government was not determined by a referendum of the people. The same government that made the vote in the UN was also in favor of giving Australia's indigenous people a vote in our parliament. So clearly your:
"As far as Australia recognizing the Palestinians as permanently entitled to Gaza and the WB, that’s good but when did Australia recognize a referendum to have an indigenous voice in your parliament? Or pass the Uluru Statement? Oh, that’s right, never. But definitely look over there at the singularly nasty Israelis.
is sorely uninformed. And rather. i'd guess sorely considered. See:
The Uluru Statement from the Heart is a 2017 petition to the people of Australia, written and endorsed by the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders selected as delegates to the First Nations National Constitutional Convention. The document calls for substantive constitutional change and structural reform through the creation of two new institutions; a constitutionally protected First Nations Voice and a Makarrata Commission[a], to oversee agreement-making and truth-telling between governments and First Nations. Such reforms should be implemented, it is argued, both in recognition of the continuing sovereignty of Indigenous peoples and to address structural power differences that has led to severe disparities between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. These reforms can be summarised as Voice, Treaty and Truth.
In October 2017, the then Coalition government rejected the Voice proposal, characterising it as a "radical" constitutional change that would not be supported by a majority of Australians in a referendum. Following this, in May 2022 Labor leader Anthony Albanese endorsed the Uluru Statement on the occasion of his 2022 election victory and committed to implementing it in full. However, the Voice was rejected at a subsequent referendum in 2023, with the government noting that further action on Treaty and Truth will take some time.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uluru_Statement_from_the_Heart
I trust, at least for others reading this, that puts the ignorance of your above statement on that in full light.
Lastly to your:
"The conversation you reproduced failed to describe the background of any of the speakers. But their repeated reference to Israelis as “ the Jews” tells you all you need to know. As if Arabs and Christians and Druze don’t live there and serve in the IDF and the Knesset"
Are you really suggesting those in the Israeli government most responsible for the terrorist overreaction to the terrorist attack are not Jews? When people talk about things the American government are doing they don't agree with they generally just use the term Americans, as those in the article you mentioned used Israelis.
it's not surprising, any more, that the more you jump in with your ill-considered conversation comments the more inanity you display.
Also it's really interesting that i post an article heralding a possible peace accord yet you reply to it in the venomous manner you did. That says much about you.
