Impartial observations

The trudge home from the city was uneventful until I reached the gates of Randwick Racecourse, where protesters with broad banners and a loudhailer were denouncing Israel's actions in Palestine and Lebanon and urging a boycott. Further along the road, I noticed a Telstra booth had been graffitied - and I'm in no way inferring that the culprit was Israeli - with the words "This phone box is a Arab/Moslem free zone" (sic). Except the "Arab/Moslem" part had been crossed out, thus rendering the previously racist statement oddly poetic. If only it was that easy to eliminate conflict and make somewhere a free zone.
