Watching the Australian progressive public - and the progressive media - succumb to the same ideological brainwashing as has happened in the US, is not only worrying but stomach-churning. I have no sympathy for Netenyahu and his far-right, religious cronies in the Israeli goverment, but I cannot bear the naivety of those who deliberately choose to ignore Hamas and its genocidal intent. Rose-coloured glasses in a time of war. Good on you, Julie, for being a voice of reason in this mess.

Excellent article Julie - I think that what is being spouted out by so many media outlets is not so much Orwellian as C.S. Lewis Alice in Wonderland's topsy-turvy land thinking . Thank you for an intelligent piece on the "onesidedness" of either you are with us or you are against us mentality on display by the protesters and many journalist - last I heard Hamas is still considered a terrorist organisation by the Aust Govt - something that apparently has no meaning with the Pro-Hamas Free Palestine thinkers

Thank you Julie for this wonderfully comprehensive and brilliant article. Required several refills of the coffee mug, but made every sip worthwhile.
