Our local Federal member here in Australia recently had this on his Facebook page.
‘Recently I met with members of the NSW Central West Muslim community regarding the current situation in Gaza.
We held a meaningful discussion about their concerns, and they have given me a petition to present to the Federal Parliament calling for an urgent ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aide to the region.’
This was my comment: “There would have been no conflict if Hamas had not gone into Israel and butchered Israelis. How dare you present a petition for a ceasefire when Israel has a duty to defend itself! Are there any Jews that live in your district? Perhaps you need to talk to them as well! From the River to the Sea may God keep Israel free!”
Was I too harsh? I think not. This politician should stick with Australian duties and leave Israel to defend itself from these murderers!
From an email: “This weekend was marked by profound tragedy in the ongoing war. The IDF lost 14 soldiers amid intense fighting in south and central Gaza, bringing the total number of troops killed since the ground operation began to 153. This heavy toll underscores the immense tragedy of this this point in Israel’s history.
In addition to the losses on the ground, the situation on the Lebanese border is escalating. Hezbollah’s warnings of a ‘new escalation’ and the IDF’s intensified response signal a complex and expanding conflict. These developments are highly unsettling, which is why the role of Zaka Tel-Aviv in lives of Israelis is more crucial than ever.
May the memory of those we’ve lost be a blessing, and may we soon hear only of peace and good news.”
This is what we are finding in Gaza. A building where children play is a Hamas rocket launching site. You have to see it to believe it: pic.twitter.com/KmMxfbYj93
