    I digeridon’t expect this to have any effect whatsoever.

    As long as my country keeps selling Israel weapons and the USA keeps funding their public services the genocidal slaughter of Palestinians will continue.

      It’s so messed up how complicit we all are. So many of us here in Ireland thought we were “decent people” until we found out how entwined our interests are with Israel, and that the government won’t budge, because they don’t expect to be punished by the electorate.

    Cool, knock yourselves out, the only way you’re going to do anything about it is to fly into the country and grab the folks you find responsible and we all know that won’t happen.

        There is no realistic outcome that will involve him in any court, so either shoot him and deal with the hardliners that will follow, or keep quite until he’s out of office.

    Their supervising team is going to get whacked. I can bet money on that.

    They already sunk a US navy war ship that was supervising the 6 day war. I’d be surprised if that went any differently.

      Oh boy oh boy, if they think they’re still going to get diplomatic cover from Australia after killing an AFP investigation team, they’re delusional. The govt might want to hush it up, but the population would scream about it, quite rightly, until any politician who ignores it loses votes they could easily have kept.

      Australia may be racist enough to overlook killing foreign people, but killing Australians? Mate. That’s fucked.

      And as we all know they are delusional, I am actually a little worried for the safety of the team.

        You have every reason to be worried.

        Ben G’Vir’s party are psychopathic terrorists. They assassinated their own prime minister for signing the Oslo Accord.
