World War I—where the ANZAC legend began—was, in many ways, a war of empire, born of the squabbles of European monarchs and their imperial ambitions. A family feud among royals sent millions to their deaths. Our ancestors—ordinary people—were caught in the machinery of pride, greed, and nationalism.

But in honouring them, we must also reflect deeply on why they had to fight. We must be honest: war is almost never about the people. It is the ruling class that declares war, and it is the working class that bleeds for it.

Do you know what a wanker is? That's you. Piss off. Leave me alone. Over 62000 people have been killed in Gaza since the October 7th attack. Once again I say, Hamas is evil and they committed an act of war, but you cannot, as a civilised nation, allow that many innocent people to be killed.

Israel must conduct itself like a civilised nation if they desire to be treated as the victim. Carpet bombing the shit out of Gaza is not the actions of a civilised nation.

Good to know you value one human life as lesser than another. You're a hypocrite. Telling me to check in with one group whilst simultaneously telling me another group will be ok. My post is months old. What happened was a tragedy. Hamas is an evil group. However, Israel claims to be better than them

True. Let's not forget the Palestinian people. I can't though. They have no electricity to even charge their phones.

Fair points. I know there is an opposition in Israel, it just seems they get yelled down all the time.

I was actually thinking of your buttons when I posted it. I agree that we may not have been talking about it if it weren't so large and in your face. It's possible that I am wrong and also right at the same time?
