Pro-Palestine rally outside parliament as PM delivers speech inside

Explain hundreds of thousands each week, any independent evidence?

Lot of words to say “I don’t recognise the name ‘Palestine’, therefore it must be terra nullius.”

Nice copy and paste from the zionist handbook. 🤣

Amusingly, the jews of today share absolutely no genetic link with the original inhabitants, while the paleatinians share a large amount.

and your point is?

Well just call them the people that Israel has been systematically killing and oppressing for the last 75 years then.

If oppression from Israel means being victims of Palestinian terrorist attacks you are correct.

And the Israel of today didn’t exist before the land was taken away from the people who lived there in 1948 by the Poms. What would you think of the native Indian tribes of America reclaiming their lands under the same heritage philosophy? I’m sure nobody would support them, yet this is exactly the same thing!

You are factually incorrect.

Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, except a Palestinian State.

@Marcus Tremblay
“in this piece of land there has been everything, except a Palestinian State”
Actually, despite your lengthy ‘who begat who family tree’ it is you, who is factually incorrect.

From this article (https://library.biblicalarchaeology.org/article/when-palestine-meant-israel/) reference to the geographical area of Palestine (or Palaistine) dates back to 5 BC:
“As early as the Histories of Herodotus, written in the second half of the fifth century B.C.E., the term Palaistinê is used to describe not just the geographical area where the Philistines lived, but the entire area between Phoenicia and Egypt—in other words, the Land of Israel. Herodotus, who had traveled through the area, would have had firsthand knowledge of the land and its people.”

Repeating zionist lies does not make them true.

@Capital Retro
Why do you need to see their faces, CR? Will it help you to understand why they are protesting?

I didn’t say I wanted to see their faces JS, I want to know why the images deliberately exclude them.
They are protesting because the stupid government we have lets them.

@Capital Retro
Fancy a stupid government in a democracy allowing freedom of speech, CR.

I don’t recall the government asking us if we wanted 3000 Palestinians to come here.
Is that democratic?

@Capital Retro
It’s a pity you don’t understand the difference between representative democracy and participative democracy – Australia has the former, and YOUR democratically elected government has allowed Palestinians to come here, on YOUR behalf. The fact that it rankles you is just a bonus.

Well said

Understanding that there are two sides to a story is not an “each way bet”.

There wasn’t two sides to the story on October 7 2023.

There sure is to what has happened since however.

@Capital Retro
Other than extremists, CR, no-one is defending what Hamas did on October 7, 2023. But if you put aside your jaundiced prejudice for a moment, you might actually understand that there are innocent victims on both sides of this conflict.

There also wasn’t two sides prior to 1948, CR. You’d be fairly upset if I turned up at your place and annexed your back yard then blew up your house for objecting with force, wouldn’t you?

On October 7, 2023 there were only “innocent victims” on one side.
You are just as naïve as Biden who tells Israel not to destroy Iran’s almost ready nuclear weapons while at the same time the Iranian Parliament chants “Death to America”

No, I wouldn’t be upset because I would know how to deal with it.
The Jews were in Israel 1000 years before the Muslims were in Gaza yet the Palestinians and their supporters claim the Jews are colonialists.

LOL
You should check out a history book, because Canaan was there far before the jews ever showed up, even according to their own story books. Genetic testing shows modern day Palestinians share a huge portion of DNA with ancient canaanites, where the ashkenazi jews share absolutely none.

You should try your lies and history revision on this topic with other zionist stooges. They might actually believe it.

My sources are from school history books I was given in 1960. You have probably been brainwashed with later versions of re-written history.
The only stooges I know of were the Three Stooges who would have been better at running this country than the clowns we have there now..
Wouldn’t it have been easier to call me a racist?

Show me israel on a pre 1948 map, CR.

I’ll wait.

@Capital Retro
If your definition of naivete is mourning the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians, CR, then I’ll happily where your label.

Ancestors of the Israelites may have included Semites who occupied Canaan. I have a map published in 1922 (in the book The Story of Mankind) which depicts the location of “The Indo-Europeans and their Neighbors” at about 1000 years BC that shows where Persia invaded and land where Israel is now is clearly marked as the Semite’s.
There is no reference to Palestine.

Palestine is on maps from 3000 BCE, you zionist stooge. It was inhabited by the Philistines, and was just below Canaan.

Again, todays jews share absolutely no genetic link with canaanites. Todays palestinians share a large portion of DNA with the people who lived there earlier than 3000 BCE.

@Capital Retro
Your map, in an almost 100 year old book, is well and truly gazumped by Herodotus’ “Histories”, which as you would know, dates back to around 450 years before the birth of JC. It mentions a geographical region known in Greek as “Palaistinê” – obviously anglacised to “Palestine”.

Sure, you have a right to be disgusted. Others have a right to be disgusted with thousands of children killed and wounded and having basic supplies, including food, clean water and medical supplies, denied to them because they are Palestinian. People have a right to protest in a democratic country so your disgust only goes so far. If you visit the War Memorial in Canberra you’ll find that Australians have been participating in, and protesting against, foreign wars since World War 1.

Hello?
I think it is common knowledge that 80% of Palestinians support Hamas and their vile deeds. It’s sad for the children who will end up as martyrs anyhow but the UN has had years to correct this – instead they let Hamas control everything including “welfare” of Palestinian children.

@Capital Retro
The truth about your knowledge of Palestine is that it is far from common, CR.

Palestine, is more than just Gaza controlled Hamas. It is also the West Bank which is governed by the Palestinian National Authority based in Ramallah, under President Mahmoud Abbas.

The approximate population dispersal of Palestinians is 3m in the West Bank and 2m in Gaza. So, I’m not sure where you got your stat that “… 80% of Palestinians support Hamas” (I could hazard a guess, but it would not get past the moderator).

Astro both sides of the story have horrid stories to share, I just don’t see how/why Australia should be shelling out millions to police these parades every weekend. Australia has nothing to do with this, come and live here peacefully, this is not a country of hatred and division but we seem to be rapidly importing it.

Australia had nothing to do with the First World War either, nor America’s invasion of Vietnam. There were protests against apartheid in South Africa as well. A fundamental part of Australia’s democracy is the freedom to protest. Banning that right would imperil our democracy. Yeah sure it would be easy to just turn our backs on the suffering of others but is that the Aussie way?
