Lets play the ball not the man folks.
To my mind, Australian Lebanese are more than entitled to protest the invasion and bombing of their homeland. Their friends and family are dying. You cannot possibly expect them to protest for the return of the soldiers - the main issue in their mind, and rightly so, is safety of their loved ones. How would you react?
Israel is such a hard subject to debate because it typically draws such a passionate, emotional response from people.
That said, no matter which side you're on, you must agree that hundreds, if not thousands innocent people are dying on both sides.
These people are the victims of the agendas of Israel, Hezbollah, Lebanon, Syria, Iran and the United States.
