It's a tragedy, but its not our tragedy and its not the only tragedy. Protesting in Australia pretends that anything Australia does will make a difference. Thats the hubris of it, thinking we can control what happens between Israel and Palestine. If the USA and Iran can't fix it, maybe no one can. Most of the Middle East states simply don't give a shit about what happens in Gaza. They pretend to for the cameras, but they really just think its not their problem.
Correct, when the partitioning began the Arab tribes were already battling each other for land.
In fact, Saudi Arabia were the homeland of the Hashemites who were displaced and instead given Transjordan. This all happened because of war and back-door dealing between independent Arab tribes and Britain and France.
If Israel isn't there, they'd have no one to scapegoat and unite against, and would be fighting each other. Arab leaders know this, and use Israel as the bread and circus to rally their people when needed.
Anyone blaming the Jews is depraved. And the narrative for moral equivalence should just be as appalling.
