Once it becomes easier to sack commentators than to accept challenging viewpoints, society has lost sight of a key part of democracy – holding power to account, even when the truth hurts.
I think this is so true, and the fact that all opposition to Israel's war on the Gaza population has been prevented makes things even worse.
Hamas' attack on Israel last October was horrific, but that doesn't give Israel the right to exterminate rhe Palestinian people.
Add to that Trump's wish / plan to turn Gaza into a resort, without care for the people who's land it is, must be a further intolerable stress on those who are left.
Thanks for your comment Jenny. You’re right of course. Right is right and wrong is wrong. The Israeli government has to change and a more honest and mature approach has to be taken. Yes October 7 was wrong and reprehensible. But the response has been disproportionate. All need to face the full force of justice.
The ABC’s mental gymnastics in the courts to suggest certain races do not exist exposes a very ugly side of public broadcaster. They’ll have their ethnic and cultural representation, but dispense with it as soon as it becomes inconvenient.
And when foreign lobby groups work to silence factual information from being distributed, it suggests a completely compromised statutory corporation.
