20% are wrong.

'Asshole' is an underwhelming critique of genocide.
I mean it should be arseholes but yeah, fuck pedanticness
Eh, it was editorial already. Fucker's ,war criminals, won't water down cunt, that's a different thing.
So is 80%.
It would mean 20% of Aussies are stupid and/or scumbags
My favourite Jewish people are the ones who say "Fuck Israel" with the rest of us.
Why did we roll out the red carpet for Israel’s president the other month
VICTORIAN LIBERAL SENATOR Sarah Henderson made a goose of herself and her office by "grilling" the SBS about Eurovision during Senate Estimates on 28 May. Her big concern was why Australia didn’t give any points to Israel during the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final. She demanded to know what the selection process for SBS’s seven-person jury was.
No one in politics is serious anymore. Those that are serious are a minority and most of them are serious about fascism.
I'm not Australian, btw. Apologies if I'm speaking out of turn.
I mean, I kind of agree with you but the Liberals are definitely a minority party now (let alone the fact that without the Nationals, they’ve always been a minority party). They’ve been ringing their death knell for a while now. I get what you’re saying and its intent but be careful you don’t accidentally call the Libs serious about fascism.
It’s really just the Greens and Independents that are the real politicians these days; i.e. those that genuinely represent the views of their constituents.
20% are ill-informed or don't want to be. 1 in 5 people thinking it's excusable to mass murder your way to 'security' is a stain on our society. The society of the 'fair go', what? Any politician bringing up the Eurovision crap show can't sink any lower. But maybe they can.
"They called my dad the only rabbi in jackboots
They called my mum the wife of my dad
They circumcised me at the Nuremberg rally
That's how I became a semitic Nazi for life"
Nice lyrics TISM!
The sooner Netanyahoo goes the better.
Agreed. But unfortunately theres more widespread problems with the way the Israelis perceive their neighbours and act on those perceptions (Definitely understating their 'actions'). So Netanyahu going, would be a good thing, but its bigger than one person.
Blaming him solely and pretending that when he's gone that genocide state will be an acceptable democracy again is Bernie the Snake tactics.
They have been terrorizing Palestinians since their existence.
Fuck israel
It's way more than Netanyahoo, what will change without him? Nothing.
Like Trump, Netanyahoo is the result, not the cause
but israeli, and people tied to israel are still going to be here in other countries, pushing thier expansionism.
Yeah so my parents would be part of that 20%.
Ive not discussed it with them because... you cant unscramble an egg, but my assumption is their logic goes something like:
- Christians are "good"
- israel is something to do with christ
- something about Muslims
Only 80%?
So 1 in 5 Australians are totally cool with the actions of that State?
Christ. They're slowly becoming the southern hemisphere's USA but without the GDP.
As the article says (which you didn't read).
Australia, in fact, now has the most unfavourable attitudes toward Israel of any Western nation. This month's Pew polling data found 79 per cent of the public now feel unfavourable about it.
So, I guess go complain about other western nations?

I mean I wouldn't go that far
Should still be higher though
That one in five may also be a bit nuanced. Every time Bibi gets in, it's by a bee's dick. That tells me that perhaps not all Israelis are in fact arseholes.
As a citizen of a nation whose government has embarrassed me and made me ashamed of my nation in the past, I get it.
Their government and any who support it's actions - Arseholes. Israeli kids burning their national service letters - they're all right.
Why continue to keep trying
To separate the real news from the lying?
In the end it all comes down to this
Turn off SBS.
