Why would Australian corporate media present headlines as if they were surprisingly exceptional or evil in Australia? The idea that Israel be destroyed isn’t strange, particularly in an anti-Semitic racist country like Australia. A country that recently voted No to any institutional recognition of its own First Nation’s peoples. Whites have refused to share this country with people who have been living here for 65,000 years. Like Israelis, we have been present here little more than the Jews in Palestine. They haven’t been there since 1948 but claim Palestine is theirs because they once lived there 3000 years ago. Despite the fact that the majority of Jews, 66% aka the diaspora, don’t want to even live there now.

Israel it might be argued is the product of anti-Semitism no European country wanted to take them after WW1 when the Balfour Agreement was signed and by the time WW2 was won the Allies had accepted the state of Israel in the British mandate of Palestine which allowed for the dispossession and evacuation of 750,000 Palestinians. Israel is a man-made construct, a domino, that many believe deserves to be knocked over.

Netanyahu has amplified the idea that Israel needs to be destroyed and set back any thought of a two or one-state solution His want for a Theocratic Apartheid State that held 2.3 million people in a concentration camp called Gaza needs to be gone. Doing, what they call “mowing the grass” is a crime against humanity. Israel has done what Hamas did on October 7th on more than one occasion and didn’t think it a big deal. They did more damage than Hamas when killing 2,200 people 500 children 200 combatants, and the rest civilians while destroying 18,000 homes and breaking the cease-fire. They just coupled it with a massive PR campaign.

The Australian Palestinian Advocacy Network president has advocated for the destruction of the Israeli state in comments criticised by a prominent extremism expert.
