We'll, that kind of throws a spanner in the works doesn't it lol

It was only a matter of time before someone made a cartoon about it, (not that I find it tasteful,)

There are so many pictures and articles on the net about what they call Sderot Cinema ( hope that's not a rude word)

Why don't you google that LD & see for yourself?

 I find it distasteful that a main stream media outlet (Fairfax)  found it OK to post this racist article and racist cartoon. It was racial vilification at its worst

 

I know there are many anti Semite sites who wallow in hatefilled disgusting cartoons but they are not a Fairfax newspaper and in the 21st century for a paper to publish that is unacceptable.

 

They have now used their EDITORIAL to publish an apology and that's the end of it. I'm sure Carlton will be carefully scrutinised in the future as a boycott was called on Fairfax media and they couldn't possibly survive that.

All the articles say the people are sitting on hill tops, clapping and eating popcorn whilst watching the bombing and destruction

Nice eh?

I've seen a far worse portrayal which I won't post but was an abbreviation of hamas through images.

I heard on the radio this morning that Brandis had said that the public outpouring of concern and the apology had SHOWN that there was no need for the provisions in the Racial Discrimination Act that he wants to get rid of.

Seems to me like it's maybe the other way around ... that the RDA provisions may have led to the Fairfax apology. They were nervous about being taken to court like Bolt.

So, what you are saying is that is racist to state facts, and to depict a fact in cartoon when the subjects are Jewish?  Are you disputing that Israelis are sitting on the hill top, eating pop corn and clapping?

No I am not saying it's racist to state facts!  those are your words,   I find it puzzling that you feel it's OK to support terrorist Hamas and the horror they are perpetrating on their people.

So none of it is Israels doing? Israel aren't dropping bombs, blowing up tunnels, shelling schools, mosques and hospitals, sending in drones, F16's and apaches, this is all the work of Hamas?

Oh !

 

There are some israeli people sitting on the hillsides watching the attacks like a movie and you think it's racist anti-semite to show images of that? Or shock horror, draw a cartoon showing the reality of that.

 

do you seriously believe that one side is all good and virtuous and the other side all terrorists?

Surely nobody is that narrow minded.

 

Do you remember Nelson Mandela? The world's most wanted terrorist!
