Australia's favourite past time for the last 6,600 years!

quote:

The eel traps at Budj Bim comprise a vast network of weirs, dams and stone canals to manipulate water levels in various lake basins. Some of the channels are hundreds of metres long and were dug out of basalt lava flow.

These structures force eels and other aquatic life into traps as water levels rise and fall. The canals also appear to have been used to create holding ponds to keep eels fresh until they were needed for food. Not only did this provide the region’s Gunditjmara people with a year-round food supply, it was also important for trade.

The site also features the remnants of almost 300 stone houses — the only remaining permanent settlement built by an Indigenous community in Australia.

Located in southwest Victoria, Budj Bim has been carbon dated to 6600 years old, meaning it predates more internationally well-known examples of ancient engineering like the Egyptian pyramids or Stonehenge.

Every single one of the evil child-eating witches in his book The Witches originally had a Jewish name and his publisher had to change it. Dude loving hated Jewish people, and you've got some issues yourself by the looks of it.

Right, there were Jewish terrorist organisations bombing British targets in Palestine because the British secretly wanted to give the place to the Jews, rather than play the Jews and the Arabs against each other.

Where do you get your nonsense from? How do you be so confident while knowing absolutely nothing?

E: and who are the OSI supposed to be? The post-war American organisation that investigated Nazi warcrimes? Or did you mean the OSS, the (American!) predecessor of the CIA? And you're saying they used a British novelist to make people more antisemitic than they already were in order to.... something something Israel?

Seriously, have you been sniffing glue?

I will just say that there is 100% an attempt by the right to conflate criticism of Israel or support for Palestinean causes as being antisemitic and it’s damaging to both the meaning of antisemitism since it cheapens it and at the same time makes Israel an international pariah a-la apartheid South Africa which is for some reason immune to criticism on its racist policy.

That's Patricia Routledge as Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced, as she insists, "Bouquet") from Keeping Up Appearances, not Mollie Sugden as Mrs. Slocombe from Are You Being Served?.
