Below is a letter i sent to both of Melbourne's major newspaper after the "Frends of Palestine" who also seem to think long term Islamic cultural tradition is a "progressive force", stormed the stage at the televised Carols by Candlelight. I will also add that pacifism and "our goal must always be peace!" will just mean more Rwanda 1994's. That is the cost of non-intervention. Note how Hamas skillfully used Israel not widely releasing video of the 7/10 pogrom in an attempt to be humane and decent and respect the feelings of the victims' grief-stricken families to discredit and undercut them in the information war.

Dear (The Age/the Herald Sun)
Something has to be done quickly - and physically if need be. I'd even use the short drop and a sudden stop at this stage (the gallows).
Tell anyone you know in fed or state Labor with power that action needs to be taken NOW. A child on that stage could have hurt themselves trying to flee these "protestors" or even gone into shock.
Have them tell Lambie, tell Pocock, tell Dutton et al that the Greens and the far left? That they are the aggressors, trying to destroy a sovereign Jewish state, who progressives helped in its creation. Once they have destroyed it, they will aim to do the same to the ALP, and after that, it will be your turn. The Greens are your friends at times, but once your usefulness ran out, they will discard your friendship like a kid bored of his toy. They are a threat to Australia and must be stopped.
Disruption is not "peaceful protest". Disruption is intimidation and coercion, both of which are forms of violence.
Jesus was a Jew. This really cannot be denied by anyone who has read the Christian Gospels, which are the only sources for his life. His name was Yeshua ben Yosif. He was born either in Bethlehem in the Kingdom of Judaea or (more likely) in Nazareth in the Tetrarchy of Galilee, both Roman client states ruled by members of the Jewish Herodian dynasty. He was circumcised and presented at the Temple in Jerusalem in accordance with Jewish law (Luke 2:21-22). He had a sound Jewish education: when he was 12 he was able to debate Jewish law with the scholars in the Temple (Luke 2:41-52). He upheld the letter of Jewish law (Matthew 5:18). The reason Jesus was arrested in Jerusalem was because he was there for the Jewish Passover (Pesach), again as required by Jewish law.
All the disciples and other early followers of Jesus were also Jews. The Jesus movement was seen as a sect of Judaism (one of many) for several decades after Jesus’s lifetime. At the Council of Jerusalem in 50 CE, Paul persuaded the leaders of the movement that new converts need not follow Jewish laws such as circumcision. But there was no definite break between the Jesus sect and mainstream Judaism until after the fall of the Jewish Temple in 70 AD.
There was no such place as Palestine and no such thing as a Palestinian during the lifetime of Jesus.
The land where Jesus lived was called Judaea (from which the word "Jew" derives). After the defeat of the last Jewish revolt against Roman rule (the Bar Kokhba Revolt) in 136 CE – a century after the death of Jesus – the Romans renamed the region Syria Palaestina (Syria of the Philistines), in order to erase its connection with the Jews (the first of many such attempts). The Philistines were a non-Semitic people who had lived in what was then southern Canaan during the Bronze Age. Although they no longer existed by Roman times, the southern coastal area was still commonly called Philistia.
In the fourth century CE Syria Palaestina was divided into three smaller territories called Palaestina Prima, Secunda, and Tertia. These existed until the Arab conquest in 636. From then until the creation of Mandate Palestine in 1923, there was no territorial unit called Palestine, and the name was used only in historical contexts and as a general geographical term. There was no such thing as a “Palestinian people” until the Mandate period. A visitor to Jaffa or Nablus in 1900 would not have found a single person who identified themselves as a Palestinian.
This history is well known and has been recounted many times. The assertion that “Jesus was a Palestinian” is a deliberate fabrication by people who want to deny the 3000-year-old historical connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. In other words, by antisemites. I hope none of your Christian friends have been or will be taken in by it. They might also like to be reminded strongly that Israel is the only country in the Middle East in which the number of Christians is increasing.
