Play nice guys. They have been fighting over that same land for the last 3000 years and will continue fighting it until it becomes scorched earth. This. After a bit of reading the conclusion I've come to is that cavemen will be cavemen. Well, it was a conclusion that I'd already drawn long ago after interaction with similar cavemen, but you get the idea. I have Jewish family friends who're loved and well respected members of our Australian landscape, and yet they're being cautious and staying low at the moment. In their own country. They've lived here for several generations. They're Aussies. And yet they're afraid to go into certain part of their cities in case someone flags them as Jews and goes all 'Free Palestine' on them. They have nothing to do with the conflict. Any more than you or I. But the antisemitism that's popped up here is just disgusting. The first second they get, the white supremacists use any scapegoat situation to start shouting about getting rid of them. HERE. People are looking for an excuse to fight and some of we'd be better off locking them up but instead we give them free speech and let normal, every day Aussies start looking over their shoulder because of a situation that they have absolutely no impact or control over. It boils my blood. /rant Not sure where you are getting that from. The mob in Sydney who were calling for a repeat of the holocaust was a combination of the far-left and middle easterners. As is practically every one of these pro-Hamas marches.

Anyone else noticed how suspiciously quiet and compliant China has been since all this kicked off? I'm not drawing any conclusions (yet) but it seems really sus that they're suddenly trying to be the perfect trade partner and backing down on all the inflammatory comments in the last few weeks. This is pretty normal from China. They usually sit back and watch, then attempt to come in later with their debt-trap loans and profit from the whole situation.
