As an Australian, no we didn't. We just had it put in context. Jews around the world are great people, the Israeli government and the hardline supporters are absolute monsters. I hope the Australian government tells them as much. Israel deserves no support and everything that may happen when it's withdrawn.

Australia still supports Israel to the hilt. Settler-colonies prop each other up.

Don't fall for this.

oh I know. it's humiliating and I hate it. it's nice to see this rebuke at all, it means we're not being quite so disgusting.

Fascists think that people being born in a place isn't as important as what history books say the ethnic makeup of a place was in the past.

Don't fall for this.

Most Australians were born in Australia. The people alive today didn't do the things you're accusing them of.

We should learn from history not use it to create grievances in an effort to make people hate. Yes bad things happened in history, like for example the colonization of Australia. We should not repeat those mistakes. But those mistakes can't be undone so there's no use in being angry over them. But we can avoid doing those mistakes. Trying to get revenge for historical wrongs committed by past generations is one of those mistakes.
