Should the Israel/Christian camp be protected/celebrated/supported while the Palenstine/Muslim camp is vilified/banned/proscribed

I think it's disgusting. You can't ban/block/bar/criminalise one side while not doing the same to the other. It's basically becoming a 'religious war' being waged not in the Middle East but in countries/states/parliaments of many other countries including here in Australia.

It's not supposed to be western countries almost pukeworthy promoting/supporting Israel and Jewish people while legislating against the Palestinian people almost to the point where they don't have a right to exist.

How is that ethical? Even my friends who are some Jewish some Palestinian all hate what's going on. Very few of them take 'hate the other side' points of view. Clearly the two people who shot up the Jewish event at Bondi Beach did, but they were neither my friends nor really the sort of people we want in Australia. Most Jewish and most Muslim people are very peaceful and respectful of each others belief systems.

The distinct problem is no one can tell which Muslim is an extremist and which ones are peaceful ... Bondi Beach represents the ultimate dichotomy of the problem ... the extremist Muslim Father and Son team who perpetrated the cold blooded murder of Jews was in part stopped by a Muslim who bravely and selflessly intervened and disarmed the Son... being struck by bullets from the Father as he did so.. So you have pure EVIL and pure heroism out of the same immigration pool.. Now this said no Jews anywhere are targeting Muslims anywhere for the crime of being Muslims.. This bit of barbarity - the globalizing of the intifada can universally be agreed upon to be abhorrent... Jews behave differently than extremist Muslims do and they do so on a consistent basis where ever they are.... The world has a warped and distorted view of Israels legitimate response to Hamas terrorists and a sad fact of this is that Hamas holds the majority of Gazan civilians hostage as human shields to protect the militants.. The problem is that the extremists hold veto power over the majority who wish to live in peace.. When nations open up immigration to Muslims - you never know what you are going to get... Mostly good peaceful people with a tiny minority of barbarians tossed into the mix.. This leads to hate crimes in Australia, the UK, France, Canada and yes the USA as well.. The problem is separating the extremists out from the peaceful (and even heroic) Majority... In Israel the most likely outcome will be some level of authority over the majority where over time the extremists must be separated and expelled on a permanent basis.. In the case of all other nations - monitoring of the majority including in schools and religious gatherings must take place to do the same thing.. keep the majority and expel the minority extremists.. There MUST be standards applied and consequences for extremism...
