I have no desire to bring any foreign wars to our shores. Nor should you.
Depends on what you mean. If you mean literally, then yeah, duh.
If you mean bringing it up in Australia, well…we live in a global world. It’s important that we push our government to do the right thing. That means, at a bare minimum, not selling weapons directly to assist in wars of aggression and genocides overseas, and not inviting heads of state of genocidal regimes to be guests in our country. It also probably means sanctioning the countries responsible, or at least minimising trade with them where possible.
It certainly means not proactively speaking out as the first leader in the entire world to congratulate the genocidal regime and its closest fascist ally on their decision to invade yet another country. Realpolitik might be a thing that’s worth doing at times. But that could at the very least take the form of silence in such a situation, rather than active condemnation. Speaking out proactively in support of it is something every Australian should be ashamed of.
Pro Palestine protestors are not the people “bringing foreign wars to our shores”. The government did that a long time ago.
Not a lecture about Palestine. A lecture about our government, and why people who are opposed to the protests because of bullshit like “they’re bringing foreign wars to our shores” are dipshits who at best just have no fucking clue what they’re talking about. At worst, they’re actively defending genocide. Either way, absolute deadshits.
That’s not you, I hope. Because up until now I had thought we were having a fairly cordial conversation. But that response…well, it doesn’t reflect well on you.
You said it yourself, we don’t need to ask for pronouns and it’s not normal behaviour.
As for the war analogy… I have no desire to bring any foreign wars to our shores. Nor should you.

Yeah thanks for the unnecessary lecture on Palestine.
