If you care so much, why not write a letter to Israel's High Commission in Canberra? And Benjamin Netanyahu was democratically re-elected, so his views may not be as out of step with popular opinion as you may think.

Why would Matt need to do that? What are they going to do? Intervene on Matt's behalf and make Rex change his signature?

Yeah, maybe.

I'm pretty neutral in the whole debate so don't really care one way or the other.

In 1976 I went on Friends of Earth bicycle ride protest from Sydney to Canberra. We camped on grounds in front of old parliament house. Coz I was (and still am) Lebanese they decided to send me to lead the delegation to complain against Israel's nuke weapons.

Well they took me to a security room near the entrance and did a full body search even pushing a metal detector up my arsehole - the bastards they are. They did not do this to the kinki di Aussies.

No wonder I have got it in for them. They told us a whole lot of bullshit anyway about not having weapons.

Now getting back to Brissie club, what was the fallout over?
