Great article once again Julie. We certainly live in an age now of self appointed "experts" with an ability to do total re-write of history with historical facts now reimagined as fiction, and so open to new interpretations. In Oz most worryingly, is our Universities, such as Melbourne allowing pro-palestinian "students"? activists entering lectures and asking for a raise of hands for those who agree with them ? and then being allowed to photograph those who don't - for what future purpose will those photos be used for I ask? No rules, certainly no actions taken against such nasty "mob' tactics......
My family too are members of the MU Alumni Its not the same institution as it once proudly was. Captured by the trans activists who get so upset if the incorrect pronoun should be used within their earshot. Being "woke" hardly describes what is really going on now
While Israel is always 'Israel', or 'Israelis', somehow Gaza has been allowed to become 'Hamas and the innocents'. So, let's reconstruct.
Side A starts a war with Side B by breaching B's borders, brutally murdering over a thousand of B's people, mostly civilians, capturing over 250 more, taking them hostage, and A rejoices, vowing to do the same again and again to B.
B delays a reprisal against A, to allow millions of A's people to flee the impending line of fire. But A nonetheless redoubles its assault, throws some if its own people into the line of fire and blocks others leaving it, refuses to surrender to B, still holds the hostages, continues fighting B, and vows to repeat its attacks upon B. States bordering B, who were former enemies of B and allies of A, refuse sanctuary to their fleeing relatives from A.
The world responds by showering sympathy on A, condemns B for wanting to fight back hard, condemns B for lacking humanity towards A, and condemns B for not letting a proportionate number of its own people be killed by A.

Absolutely Susan. That Melbourne University story is appalling.
Terrible story re Melbourne University. I am ashamed to write that I studied there, admittedly eons ago.

Great writing. Thank you

Have I missed something?
