Then again you could always go to site which has an even more interesting view about the notion of a "fair go" namely "Fair Go for Palestine" at http://www.fairgoforpalestine.org/
This site is really a shining example of someone demonstrating their complete lack of understanding about the notion of a "fair go."
It presents (as an example only) the following:
The Ugly Truth from the Horse's Own Mouth
"Between ourselves it must be clear that there is no room for both peoples together in this country. We shall not achieve our goal if the Arabs are in this small country. There is no other way than to transfer the Arabs from here to neighboring countries - all of them. Not one village, not one tribe should be left."Joseph Weitz, head of the Jewish Agency's Colonization Department in 1940. From "A Solution to the Refugee Problem" Joseph Weitz, Davar, September 29, 1967, cited in Uri Davis and Norton Mevinsky, eds., Documents from Israel, 1967-1973, p.21.
Obviously a timely, relevant and current comment. Note the date of this reportage not to mention the heavy sarcasm with which I am reporting it.
A 'Fair Go" could of course also feature (along side of this comment) more recent quotes from people like the President of Iran. Those comments might actually put this issue into a more recent and balanced perspective.
Of course this might be inconvenient. It would show that perhaps there are several ugly truths out there not to mention various horses mouths and certainly a lack of a "fair go" for all of the people in the region!
Perhaps a Cook cartoon in "The Bulletin" sums it all up - have a look for yourself:
