As with all major faiths, there is primary dedication to the spiritual, sometimes expressed as 'Surrender to God' which is emphasised in Islam. On the other side of the coin many utilise their self proclaimed religious faith, which in fact they do not practise, for political / power purposes. The killing of civilians during war has been carried out in the millions by armies during the history of our lifetimes, many of whom would call themselves, Christian, Buddhist etc No doubt you will only focus on the negatives of the historical story telling aspects of the Koran (i.e. exploited for power and suppression). However, it is not the core of Islam or indeed any other belief focusing on the Devine. BTW: Islam was first faith to recognise the rights of women: https://www.ohio.edu/orgs/muslimst/downloads/brochures/Status_of_Women_in_Islam.pdf

Content deleted for brevity. Actually I was hoping to get "Morch's" response concerning the author of Palestine Betrayed. The author provides numerous references to official statistics of land ownership prior to 1948 so I'm somewhat surprised at the pushback.

The fact is Arab land owners sold land to Jewish migrants it wasn't given to them. Wealthy Arabs even bought land from poor Arabs and on-sold it to Jews for a significant profit. For a detailed review of land ownership issues leading up to 1948 I recommend you and others who may be interested in the subject read Palestine Betrayed by Efraim Karsh: the book sheds light on a number of contentious matters.

The hospital is operated by the Gaza government i.e. Hamas, so not surprising some Hamas members were located at the hospital. At the same time the hospital would have provided medical services for locals. The hospital is actually named after a politician who was a senior member of Black September / PLO and was killed by Israeli forces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamal_Adwan

As a clarification, the context of my use of 'opinion": a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. Of course Hamas are responsible for this current war, but some of the statements coming out of the mouths of some Israeli politicians can only be described as equally evil. There is no point for any further response from me; I have no solution, just revulsion for the actions and words of both parties. One hopes for some great soul at some point in the future to bring Peace.

For me it's a matter of opinion: I do not hold the viewpoint that the alleged killing of currently nearly 19,000 civilians in Gaza is 'justified'. Recently it's speculated the IDF assault on Gaza will take approx another two months to destroy Hamas killing machine so G_d knows how many more civilians will be killed and for what purpose as currently no-one has articulated the end game.

We are not permitted to discuss costs for prostitution

For a stater how about using solely guided munitions as opposed to 50%+ dumb bombs.

On the other side of the coin perhaps thousands of Gazan children would be alive today if Israel had not conducted, as claimed by Pres Biden, indiscriminate bombing. Apparently past due for the Israeli's to wind back the level of aggression.

Nonsense

Easy, older single men in Australia usually cannot get laid. Accordingly, move to places like Thailand where it is relatively inexpensive to fulfil their sexual needs.

The Australian government says it will halve the migration intake within two years in an attempt to fix the country's "broken" immigration system. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-67609963

Kindly provide proof of my anti Sematic support. BTW never expressed support for any source of terrorism, so please cease your nonsense.

No. I respect Morch's knowledge.

Neither a member of the 'intolerant left' or 'free Palestine cult'. Hopefully you can learn from Morchs' posts which are based on local knowledge.

Cannot understand why someone would post such pathetic commentary, though not unexpected.

The oppressor is always better off then the oppressed. Hamas personnel would have better access to food and so on than the general population of Gaza. However, your comment is yet another example of ignorance from some members.

Diabetes is not just a chronic illness in well off societies. Diabetes is also associated with poorer countries due to bad diet. lack of exercise and medical care, Gaza being a well known example.

Concerning conflicts, as you know, as of its self, UN has no power of enforcement and heavily constrained by organisational . structure for decision making e.g. Security Council. However, UN does deliver a great deal of services for the less fortunate. Anyway... Secretary-General Strongly Condemns Attack by Hamas. https://press.un.org/en/2023/sgsm21981.doc.htm What has the UN done and said on the Israel-Palestine conflict? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/25/what-has-the-un-done-on-the-israel-palestine-conflict

Thanks for the time you've invested in the above; as you know I do respect your knowledge concerning Israeli / Arab issues. Just on the issue of allegations of Israeli "genocide" it is not a stance I concur with. After all the words I still cannot fathom what Hamas were expecting to achieve. Concerning civilian casualty rates I assume the Israeli War Cabinet makes the decision on numbers political acceptable or not. With the IDF leaving no place untouched in Gaza one assumes the death ratio between Israelis and Gazans in the current conflict will significantly increase. So far as I know there is nothing in the public space talking to 'what next' when the Israelis achieve their declared objective: thoughts?

Hamas are the government of Gaza, though they haven't held elections since they 'won' in 2006 and took over in 2007.

Rather than posting asinine commentary, read the article.
