Pro-Palestine protesters interrupt Australian telethon raising money for blind kids.
I'd really like to know what the blind kids did to Palestine to deserve this treatment.

They’re just building a coalition aren’t they? Protesting christmas tree light ups and disabled children and blocking traffic. Their goal is apparently to unite everyone to hate them
shareIt's getting annoying. In Toronto last week there were a group of protesters chanting "free Palestine" directly in the area that kids were taking pictures with Santa. Elsewhere in that same mall, they protested the store Zara and one protester threatened to kill the police. I saw pro-Palestine protesters block traffic in Paris, London and LA. I saw pro-Palestine protesters berate Alec Baldwin for no reason. It's like they think this behaviour will win people over.

What a bunch of bastards eh?
Imagine having the bloody nerve to protest against kids being massacred on a daily basis elsewhere in the world, and interfering with the right of kids to tell Santa in comfort what toys they'd like to receive when they wake up in their homes, rather than covered in blood in some overrun hospital!
They shouldn't have to put up with that garbage...
😂 share
Why is it that people in North America had the decency during World War II to ignore civilians being killed by bombing on a daily basis in the course of a war to destroy those who massacre Jews but they don't now? What changed between now and then? Do you think these protestors are morally superior to the Greatest Generation that defeated Germany and Japan? Remember, these protestors were cheering when it was the Israelis that were massacred two and a half months ago. These protestors are neck deep in identity politics.
shareWhy would anyone protest in front of kids who don't know what's going on that are celebrating something that has to do with their own holiday in a country that has nothing to do with them? Did anyone go to a school in Saudi Arabia during Ramadan to protest what Osama bin Laden did on 9/11? See how ridiculous that sounds? Next you're going to tell me no one should complain about bad food we ordered at a restaurant because there are people out there who are suffering from hunger.

You've kind of expanded upon the humour of the sheltered ignorance entitlement I was finding entertaining in your previous post.

Canada exports arms to Israel which (although in itself shouldn't be a precursor to righteous people in any country protesting in support of Palestine) means that it absolutely certainly does not have "nothing to do with them'...
That is why I was laughing at the concept of it being shocking that these kids were disgracefully having the fun of their holiday season ruined by those having the nerve to protest against other kids elsewhere in the world being blown up, left to die in powerless hospitals, etc!
I'm not interested in those deflective Saudi comments - There's another poster on here, a guy called Rusty something, who specializes in making similar worthless deflective comments . It basically attempts to justify the slaughtering of innocent people with an "argument" of:- "Well these people did shitty things then, so why can't we do / get away with shitty things too?".
There's no reflection, no humanity questioning whether we shouldn't be doing better as we evolve / time passes, how can we view ourselves as morally superior to terrorists. Just "well, let's keep doing the same crap people have always done because it suits us this time"... share

The most ridiculous part about this comment is that you've NEVER actually explained what's wrong those arguments. You just casually dismiss them. Why don't you ever actually *EXPLAIN* to me what's wrong with them? Just once, please explain what's wrong with them instead of just mocking them. share
LOL.
Rusty, I explained why those arguments are vapid in the very next paragraph. I made exactly the same explanation in some post you, once again, felt it necessary to jump aboard on yesterday.
This is why I have repeatedly told you I don't want to discuss matters with you. You have no nuance at all and simply seek excuses / use deflection to justify murderous behaviour at ever turn. There is no morality at all, no desire to be a better person. Therefore any discourse is worthless for me and for you.
You're making a generalization. You've never actually explained to me what's wrong with my actual arguments. Do you realize that you distort my arguments and ignore the nuances in them?

There is literally 1 Jewish majority country in not only the Middle East, but in the world. There are 22 majority Muslim countries in the world. Israel is surrounded by 22 Muslim majority countries in every direction some of which have those terrorist organizations I mentioned above. Why are the protesting giving arms to one country that is surrounded by terrorist organizations? Why aren't they protesting against those organizations themselves? Answer: Israel is a target and needs the defence. Do you think it's a coincidence that Muslims have a problem the one non-Muslim majority country in the Middle East? The fact that pro-Palestine people are protesting during Christmas events should tell you what they think about other religions.
LOL. You said that kids couldn't get their "pictures with Santa" in peace because of those bastards outrageously protesting against Palestinians kids literally being slaughtered!
Is that a religious event now?!! 🤣😭
I didn't say the couldn't get their pictures taken. I said that they were protesting while they were getting them taken. Santa is a figure of the Christmas season. Is it a holy event? No. But it is a Christmas event. I never called it a religious event.
Also, the Christmas event I was referring to was the Christmas charity event in Australia for the blind.
I didn't say the couldn't get their pictures taken.
No one did.
But you did say:-
The fact that pro-Palestine people are protesting during Christmas events should tell you what they think about other religions.
And your mention of some charity event was in the OP, not in any of your replies to the comments I made.
It's kind of incredible though that, regardless of Santa's religious status (😂) you - seemingly without any sense of irony or shame - think it's outrageous that those Western kids shouldn't be left "innocently" cocooned from reality to enjoy their consumerist "religious" experience with Santa without being exposed to people literally protesting about other kids, elsewhere in the world, effectively being held in open air prison conditions, being slaughtered.
Anyway, your conflation is especially amusing as I watched Brasil last week...

No one did.
You write: "LOL. You said that kids couldn't get their "pictures with Santa" in peace because of those bastards outrageously protesting against Palestinians kids literally being slaughtered!"
They could get their pictures, but they were protesting right there in front of the kids. I never said anything was stopping them.
And your mention of some charity event was in the OP, not in any of your replies to the comments I made.
Even so, I never said that taking pictures with Santa was a religious event. I said it was a Christmas event. A religious event would be some sort of religious gathering spreading the word of their God or something along those lines.

Again, I never said Santa had to do with religion. He has to do with Christmas which is a religious time. The fact that you equate consumerism in front of kids with telling kids about children being murdered is a strange take. Do you expect Palestine documentaries on kids TV? No, but they are exposed to commercials, are they not?
As for the picture you provided, I'm not sure what you're trying to show me. share
Again, no one said they were stopped from getting their pictures taken - You even FULLY quoted me this time. They couldn't get their pictures taken "in peace"... Therefore saying:-
I didn't say the couldn't get their pictures taken.was in response to nothing.
The fact that you equate consumerism in front of kids with telling kids about children being murdered is a strange take.
The strangeness is in the belief that the sanctity of the former should override the right of people to protest against the later in a public space...
The picture was just a still from Brazil featuring the "Consumers For Christ" placard. Amusingly it seems to fit in with your "outrage" against this consumerist western Santa activity, conflated with religion, being disrupted by people literally campaigning against children's deaths.
Actual real, practicing Christians have more interest in stopping the slaughter of innocent lives as opposed to whether kids should be shielded (ironically not literally like those elsewhere!) from hearing protests in PUBLIC spaces (clearly not the same thing as kids TV).
The head of the Catholic Church has even gone so far as to point out Israel's activities as terrorism. share
So what happened to all the "actual real, practicing Christians" during World War II while German and Japanese civilians were killed by the hundreds of thousands by bombing? Did all of the world's "actual real, practicing Christians" just take a break during World War II? How come all of these "actual real, practicing Christians" are completely okay with the repressive Islamosupremacy that has nearly eliminated the presence of Jews from the Muslim world? Have all of these "actual real, practicing Christians" merely been consumed by identity politics?
And who the hell went and made the Pope some sort of expert on terrorism? How come his predecessor Pius XII didn't say during World War II that the deaths of hundreds of thousands of German and Japanese civilians from bombing was terrorism?
The strangeness is in the belief that the sanctity of the former should override the right of people to protest against the later in a public space...
The strangeness is that you don't know the law. It's not a right of the people to protest in malls. It's illegal. The Toronto police reiterated it after the incident.

I never said I was outraged about consumerist Santa activity. I honestly don't care if they do. I'm saying there's a difference between causing a scene just having an innocent moment during a Christmas event than there is with a bunch of protesters surrounding kids for their own protest. Are you going to stop celebrating your birthday because kids in another country are being bombed and can't celebrate their own birthday? Better yet, what if they chose your specific birthday party to disrupt? Let's stop going to work because Palestinians can't go to work safely.
being disrupted by people literally campaigning against children's deaths.
You mean people literally breaking the law which I proved in the first paragraph? By the way, kids were exposed to those same pro-Palestine supporters threatening cops in the exact same mall on the exact same day. Great example they are setting for those kids.

Real people (including Christians) will respect other people's lives and not make it about their own person viewpoints. Protest safely and legally in the street. It's not that hard.

They already did that. Even the Arabs Muslims Islams Obamas hate them.
