Its not a matter of leaving the country it is a matter of understanding the reason, and working to a solution….
The borders which where established in 1967, were agreed too by both sides, however Israel following the current occupation has much reduced Palestian borders. Then there is the blockades and general treatment of the people on both sides.
As for should everyone except the Aboriginals leave OZ.. No the aboriginals have much of their spiritual homeland handed back to them through Native title, if you want to go that road though AEP perhaps Ireland should be left to the Irish as well….

”You must remember the Palestinians homeland is now Israel, and Israel now occupy a large % of Palestine.”

Should everyone except Aboriginals now leave Oz?

Israel has flown over 500 sorties and delivered bombs into one of the most densely populated areas in the world after cutting off the Gaza strip from all contact with the outside world.
I don’t think Hamas are angels but there could be a suggestion that the there is an over-reaction
The Arab papers are just as biased as the western ones – you can’t but be impressed though

We have a few threats down here and a few arrests one or two a little scary….. but the general opinion seems to be the worst thing we can do is continue living our lives the way we do….

I seriously hope things are safe over there and wish it was the case all over the globe… one day perhaps.. maybe 2013….

Agreed AC -the rumour around Doo-bye was that it wasn’t anything to do with Palestine but rather to avert a terrorist attack here in Dubai…..jury is still out.

hmmmm

Will throw my hat in here for stamping on….

Good on Dubai for actually coming out and condemming the acts by Israel on Gaza….
One of the reasons the Arab nations and others are up in arms about this…
Is not Israels right to defend itself, no one says they do not have the right to do this, it is what they are doing..

Hamas launch a rocket over the fence… doesnt kill or injure anyone….. Isreal catch the guy who did it, then evict the guys family all including extended family from their homes and fill the homes with concrete. Leaving the family homeless……..
One Israeli get killed and they go and shoot and bomb Gaza killing 300-400 people in Gaza, men Women and Children and most having nothing to do with Hamas.
You must remember the Palestinians homeland is now Israel, and Israel now occupy a large % of Palestine. There has been food, medical and financial blockades against the people. Most live in bombed out areas, and the United Nations and other care organisations are in there attempting to help.
When Israel bombed a mosque opposite a well known hospital which then showered glass and debree over the patients and staff treating bombing victims they overstepped the mark.
The Latest bombing of the Hamas leaders home is what will send the Arab nations into total outrage…. Not because they killed this outspoken leader who hated Israel but for killing 2 of his 4 wives and 7 of his 10 children….. as well as killing and injuring many other innocent people who where just near by.

Israel has a right to live in peace but so do the Palestinians…. If Israel bought its arms from Russia instead of the US then the western Media would be condeming Israel as being the so called terrorists instead of the otherway around…….

I dont know but to me living with hundreds of tanks and soldiers on the border of my country and being bombed by dozens of planes, having soldiers wondering the streets shooting anyone who they dont like the look of and gaoling me just because they can is a terrifying
and Terror in the highest degree…….

The whole situation is plain wrong…… and one day it will go to far… unless something dramic changes very soon…..
