Gaza

[dreamer_easy]

Amnesty International Australia asks Australians to email the government asking them to urge the UN Security Council to demand attacks from both sides cease. Read AI statements and news on the situation.

MSF (Doctors Without Borders) is on the ground in Gaza and can use donations. The Red Cross is also in Gaza (and in the firing line) and is appealing for donations. And Israel's branch of the Red Cross, Magen David Adom, is caring for both Israeli and Palestinian citizens.

Nsty side effects: the Jewish population in Melbourne has been under attack. No record of violence towards Jews in Sydney.

Thank heavens Sydney is a little saner - despite idiotic comments from some of those protesters. Man, I have had it to the back teeth with both sides' rationalisations.

Melbourne does seem to have more of these nastier racist types. I blame the weather. It's always raining down there and so they have to huddle indoors with likeminded types and com up with stupid poisonous ideas. Now, ifthey were in Sydney, It's too hot to get upset about the great Jewish/Islamic/whatever conspiracy. Everyone just buggers off to the beach instead, and has the occassional fight there.
