Netanyahu’s security strategy can only succeed when he has either killed or driven away every Palestinian because while ever he continues to use force to achieve his aims there will be young Palestinians who will respond with force. It is a zero sum game and the world knows it.

If you don't read anything else today, certainly not contributions from unscrupulous players seeking to politicise the issue, access Cathy McGowan on the Helen Haines tragedy for a country for decent people like her @SatPaper thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news…

Jenny has been a very long-time dear friend and mentor to me. She's the best of the best. I recommend reading this today.
What wonderful optimism in the face of such shocking news.

If you do one thing today, listen to this please. Australia cannot stand by and let this happen.

Mr Netanyahu 'cannot be part of the healing process: it is from Netanyahu that Israel must be healed'. David Horovitz, editor of the Times of Israel has a point @TimesofIsrael
Blistering editorial from the editor of the Times of Israel, calling for Israeli voters to dethrone Benjamin Netanyahu.
Titled: "For Israel's sake, Netanyahu has to go". Ends by saying that Netanyahu cannot heal his nation, when he is the person from whom Israel needs to be healed.

Credlin has worked so hard to be seen as a tough political warrior for the conservative side of politics that she has turned herself into a caricature of a political operative. It is impossible to take her seriously any more.
Such thin, off-the-cuff analysis which contributes nothing to the understanding of a profound moment in Australian public life. Media moves so fast now it inevitably skates across the surface rather than digging down into substantial consideration.
Tendentious take on a national tragedy not a good sign under a new editor @FinancialReview afr.com/politics/federal/doe…

Social media has become antisocial media. Algorithms reward outrage, turning political opponents into enemies.
In my Joan Kirner Oration, I argue for changing the feeds that inflame us and rebuilding the communities that connect us.

I beg your pardon - "instead of the lefties views he reportedly holds ..."
Lefties?
Are you attempting to come across as a serious journalist making a serious point while using the pejorative term "lefties"?
Seriously? Do better and be the standard you expect others to follow
This is not Christianity - it's voodoo. What is wrong with American evangelical "Christians"?

The public brawl over the politics (or otherwise) of Helen Haines’s attacker verges on the obscene. Much of it whipped up by the usual media suspects, of course, but also by the bots and trolls on social media. It’s disgusting and, beyond that, utterly worthless. And you watch: this post, too, will attract a slew of loonies.
When you as that Mark?
Correct. Barnaby Joyce once had standards. canberratimes.com.au/story/9…

Jokes about a vaginal prolapse ? Hanson demonstrates, yet again, that she is a vicious, nasty, sleazy grub.
