The only thing surprising about the Albanese government’s admission last week – that Iran was behind much of the post-October 7 anti-Semitic terror in Australia – was that they were dragged, kicking and screaming, into it at all. From the moment Albanese went into a 24-hour radio silence in the wake of the October 7 attacks, and the NSW Labor government refused to do anything to stop a Muslim mob from storming the Sydney Opera House chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’, it was obvious that Labor had no real interest in stamping on the anti-Semitic cockroach.
Labor’s reluctance becomes a lot clearer when we find out just how deep in cahoots with the terror regime Labor figures really are.
A leader of a Shia Islamic group that was praised by NSW Premier Chris Minns and his counter-terrorism minister is linked to two Iranian revolutionary networks – co-founded with Hamas and Hezbollah – and lauded the October 7, 2023, massacres and the “jihadist path” of the ayatollah’s terror army.
The Australian can reveal that the Shia National Network of Australia, which is repeatedly hosted at NSW parliament, endorsed by the NSW Premier’s Department as a destination for Islamic international students and led events with the NSW Police Force’s then top counter-terrorism commander as well as the state’s governor, is co-managed by Hussein Dirani in his capacity as a trustee.
Dirani is the founding member and media manager of the Australian branch of the Iran-based, Hamas and Hezbollah-founded ‘Arab and Islamic Union in Support of the Resistance Option’. In a March 2024 Arabic-language interview with Iranian state-controlled Mehr News Agency, Dirani praised the October 7 attacks as ‘blessed’. He also led a mourning gathering for Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force, soon to be listed as a terror organisation. Dirani is also the Australian representative of an alleged Iranian terror-recruitment group.
Al-Tajamu, the second organisation Mr Dirani represents in Australia, hosted senior Hezbollah officials at conferences as recently as Ibrahim al-Moussawi in May and head of Palestinian relations Hassan Hoballah in March.
Dirani’s Iran-linked SNNA was praised by NSW Labor premier Chris Minns and “commend[ed]” by NSW Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley.
And we wonder why NSW police spent so long denying that the wave of attacks on Jewish-owned businesses and homes was anti-Semitic terror…
It doesn’t stop there.
NSW Governor Margaret Beazley attended an SNNA event as recently as its co-organised Refugees Australia Day Celebrations event on January 26. “On Australia Day this year, as a part of a multi-event program, the governor and [her husband] Mr Wilson attended a Refugee Australia Day Community BBQ hosted by the Australian Afghan Hassanian Youth Association at Auburn Botanic Gardens.
In what smells suspiciously like desperate arse-covering, a spokesman for the governor denied having any “engagement with the SNNA”. Except…
The Australian has obtained six images showing Governor Beazley with [SNNA president, Sayed Zawar Shah]: presenting him with a plaque, having a three-person conversation with him and her husband, having another three-person conversation with him and the AAHYA’s leader, seated at the organiser’s table together and two images of her seated closest beside him as he spoke at the lectern.
Meanwhile, one of Iran’s useful idiots in Australia is fast approaching the FO end of the equation.
St Vincent’s Hospital has launched a probe into claims by the head of its heart transplant unit that Israeli spy agency Mossad and not Iran was behind alleged anti-Semitic terror attacks in Sydney last summer […]
Cardiologist Peter Macdonald [said…] “I thought it was a no-brainer that these were Mossad-engineered events. Am I being totally naive, or has the Zionist lobby infiltrated, taken over ASIO as well?” […]
On Wednesday, Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin wrote to Professor Macdonald pointing out that the Jewish community was accustomed to hearing anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about “false flag operations” but usually from anonymous individuals. “I did not expect those same fantasies to be uttered by an eminent Australian cardiologist in a public forum,” said Mr Ryvchin, whose former house was targeted in an arson attack […]
“How you could conclude and openly assert, with no evidence, that the ‘Zionist lobby’, by which you presumably mean me and my colleagues, have ‘taken over’ ASIO, and that the security agency of the Jewish State ‘engineered’ anti-Semitic attacks that targeted the Jewish community.
Well, hey, that’s just what them ‘Joos’ do, ain’t it? It says so, right there in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
A spokesperson for St Vincents’ Hospital told the Australian that Professor Macdonald was on leave on an unrelated issue but on his return, the hospital would “take appropriate next steps in accordance with our internal policies and procedures”.
It’s not the only high-profile job his anti-Semitic conspiracy-theory rant is endangering.
Professor Macdonald is also co-head of the Transplantation Research Laboratory at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
The institute’s director and CEO Jason Kovacic said it was “deeply disappointed that a senior member of our organisation has made comments of this nature” and the institute would “conduct a thorough review to understand all aspects of the matter and to ensure our values and policies are upheld by everyone who works with us”.
“We categorically disagree with the remarks in question, which were made by the individual in a personal capacity at a political forum,” Professor Kovacic said. “We consider they are antisemitic and conspiratorial.”
Looks like the ‘Zionist lobby’ has its tentacles everywhere! It’s the Joos, I tells ya! The Joos!
