Society/Culture Alex Pearce supports Palestine/promotes terrorism depending who you ask

It must be just a coincidence that whenever public opinion looks like turning against what's happening in Gaza Jewish venues get attacked.

What do you mean

It must be just a coincidence that whenever public opinion looks like turning against what's happening in Gaza Jewish venues get attacked.

Why would it be a coincidence? Anger about Gaza tends to fuel hostility against Jews in Australia. And public opinion (mine certainly) has been against what's happening in Gaza for some time. In my case that includes hostility to Hamas and that's maybe where Kneecap and I might differ.

Really?

You'll get some likes for that on the conspiracy board.

NSW changed the law over an attack whose origins are dubious at best.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place: you've got to promote the school and ensure funding for additional projects - a gym refurbishment, redoing the cracked pitch in the middle of the school oval, getting the portables replaced with actual classrooms - and there's only so much money to go around. You don't want that money going to the school down the road; you've not had serious funds to improve infrastructure in 20 years, it isn't that don't need it but you represent your school.

You cannot take a public side. It's a public school; being politically neutral is, quite literally, in the guidelines a teacher is assessed on in their VIT presentation. You can have whatever opinions privately, but they cannot come out in a professional context. So, you cannot take your student's side.

You also cannot take the minister's side. The Civics curriculum encourages students to be active participants in their democracy, and what is more democratic than holding an elected official to account other than perhaps voting?

To the public, you're neutral. In private to the assistant minister, you're apologetic and in damage control. To the students, you cannot support them and it results in tepid appeals to liberalism. In private, you're screaming from having to sit on that particular barbed wire fence.

I'm just getting increasingly uncomfortable with what's looking a lot like mandated support for a government position.

I reckon you'd be more uncomfortable as a homosexual in Gaza.

 

[Purplrrr]

Why specifically being uncomfortable as a homosexual in Gaza? That’s a confusing change of direction. From what I can see all the people in Gaza are uncomfortable.

 

[spinynorman]

Yeah, being bombed by Israel would be awful.

 

[spinynorman]

It's so exhausting, annoying and dishonest when I see this kind of thing.

I've been on these forums for 15 years, promoting progressive ideology. I take feedback and engage with it.

I make a reasonable post, where I show my logic and thinking. And instead of 'the left' engaging with it, or correcting it, or redirecting where my logic has mislead me...
I'm just insulted and misattributed.

I'm literally arguing why Kneecap shouldn't be restricted and why Pearce shouldn't face repercussions.
And the response is to act like I'm some Israeli shill promoting harassment and calling for Kneecap to be banned. Like I'm some deep undercover operative.

I get the same level of charitability and engagement from MAGAts.

It sure would suck in this SRP board to have your ideology be misrepresented in bad faith by people trying to characterise you as something you’re not.

Not really.
What happens if a two-state solution is implemented and Palestine becomes independent?

Where do the Palestinian alphabet mob stand then?
Back to square one, I'm thinking. Maybe they could apply for asylum in Israel. Pretty sure there aren't too many neighboring countries who'd welcome them.

 

[Episode IV]

That's the thing about the whole Palestine thing, though, isn't it.

Equality meets reality. Outcome in a state of flux.

When the idealists might get what they want. If they demonstrate hard enough.
Strange times.

It’s lovely you’ve taken the time to post about marginalised Palestinians.

I take the time the time to post about marginalised people all the time.

Perhaps if you put side your prejudices, you'd realise that.

What have you got to say about post #441?
Anything at all?

Hurr durr they do some bad things so they don't deserve support when they're bombed to smithereens.

Any LGBT rights movement isn't going to take off when the most pressing concern for people day to day is survival. Social movements such as these in basically every country have only ever taken off when countries are industrialised and have a level of development, denied to Palestine by the nuclear power occupying them. "Back to square one"? Being able to get to square one would be a nice start.

Look, I know the plight of LGBTQIA+ Palestinians bothers you deeply but let’s focus on not genociding kids before they’ve had a chance to work out what they identify as.

You are so desperate to find any excuse to deny Palestinians statehood.
So much do you lack self awareness that in the same sentence as you want to deny rights you pretend you are about rights.

It's typical behaviour from the supporters of Israel.

What sort of disgusting human would support a genocide because of some made up scenario?
