Anti-Semitic attacks are occurring on a weekly basis and escalating. The latest horrific revelation is that police last week found [a caravan packed with explosives](https://goodoil.news/where-is-this-going-to-end/), apparently destined for Jewish targets. Politicians and senior police are doing what they too often do these days: shifting blame and finding excuses. > [Senior police are privately warning](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politics/terrorists-cross-a-thinning-blue-line-as-third-person-arrested-in-caravan-terror-plot/news-story/713a1356614e4d7e6f80498dac3e8b34?ref=goodoil.news) the strain of escalating anti-Semitic violence and other crimes including domestic violence will leave officers with “one hand tied behind their backs” unless severe under-­resourcing is fixed, as a third person now alleged to be “on the periphery” of the caravan terror plot was revealed to be in custody. > > With public safety and crime emerging as a top-tier voter issue in Australia amid the anti-Semitism crisis, the Police Federation of Australia is preparing a ­national election campaign targeting marginal seats demanding more resources from federal and state governments. So the police union is using Jewish Australians’ safety as a bargaining chip in an ambit claim? *Really?* Perhaps if police had *done their jobs from the start*, it wouldn’t have come to this. The time to stop anti-Semitism was not last week, or last month or whenever Labor governments decided there were more votes in being seen to be ‘tough’ on anti-Semitism than they stood to lose in Muslim-dominated Western Sydney. ***The time to stop anti-Semitism was 9 October, 2023.*** That was Ground Zero in the anti-Semitism crisis staining Australia. The day a mob of hundreds of Muslims stormed the Sydney Opera House, chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’ (or, improbably, ‘Where’s the Jews?’, if you’re foolish enough to believe ‘expert analysis’ – as if that somehow makes it better, anyway). Remember that that was the first response of Muslims to the October 7 horrors. Not sympathy for Jewish Australians, not shock at what their fellow Muslims had done – but *celebration*. The streets of Sydney’s Muslim suburbs erupted into spontaneous celebration: fireworks, and Muslim clerics joyously shouting that they were ‘elated’. ***Australian Muslims celebrated the murder, torture, mass rape and mass kidnappings of thousands of Jews.*** *That* was the time for police to put their foot down and stop anti-Semitism in its tracks. What did they do, instead? They arrested a Jewish Australian, for carrying an Israeli flag. Is anyone surprised that the drooling thugs of anti-Semitism decided that they were untouchable? Speaking of drooling thugs… > [The Greens’ NSW branch](https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politicslatest-greens-brawl-with-german-allies-over-israel/live-coverage/9ee599f6dceefe355f781bd8dae440e9?ref=goodoil.news#/entry/10676518) has lashed the position of the German Greens on Israel in a letter demanding the party’s sitting members, elected in the country responsible for the Holocaust, more strongly condemn the ­Jewish state. Bear in mind that the German Greens were founded by a roster of ex-Nazis. Yet, even *they* aren’t extremist enough for the Australian Greens. The letter was sent, berating Germans for not taking a harder line on Jews, on the same week the world commemorated the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. History repeating itself. --- 💡 ****If you enjoyed this article please share it using the share buttons at the top or bottom of the article.**
