Labor Back to Their Sly Ways

For all the Albanese government’s post-Bondi blatherskite about ‘tackling anti-Semitism’, it just keeps showing where its true sympathies lie. This was the government, after all, that banned Jewish speakers and Israeli government representatives from entering Australia. Labor came under intense internal pressure to ban Israeli president Isaac Herzog, an unprecedented move, until Bondi forced their hand.

Yet, Labor not only allowed Islamic hate preachers to enter the country, and stay, but it also gifted tens of millions of dollars to local Islamic groups hosting vile anti-Semitic preachers.

Now, they’re quietly up to their Jew-banning tricks again.

Jewish influencer Sammy Yahood, who had his visa revoked by the Albanese government hours before boarding a flight to Melbourne, has labelled Tony Burke a “tyrant” […]

Mr Yahood was set to travel across Sydney and Melbourne addressing Jewish organisations and synagogues in a series of self-­defence sessions, but he was barred from entering the country by Mr Burke, who said “spreading hatred is not a good reason to come”.

This is odd, because it’s been perfectly fine for Muslims. Or perhaps not so odd, given that Burke represents the most Muslim-dominated seat in the country.

But what does he have such a problem with, other than the apparently frightening prospect of a Jew teaching Jewish Australians how to defend themselves?

The British-born Israeli social media personality – who has previously claimed Islam was a “murderous ideology” and a “colonial death cult” – said the Home Affairs Minister’s decision to ban him was unlawful and vowed to “take action”.

So, he’s only said about Islam what Muslims and leftists bellow about Israel every day? Except that he has the justification of actually being correct.

“Talking about a bad ideology like Islam is not hatred … I could quote Islam and their prophet Mohammad if you would like me to back up my claims,” Mr Yahood said.

It also appears that Burke is being less than forthright when giving his reasons.

Mr Yahood responded over social media, claiming he was refused entry to Australia on the basis that he was conducting business operations on a tourist visa.

“On the morning of my flight, the Australian government cancels my visa, claiming that I’m going to be doing business operations on a tourist visa when really Tony Burke – a member of parliament over there – has said hate is not a reason to come to Australia,” Mr Yahood said.

“So which one is it? Is it business operations or hatred.”

“The Australian government seem to be using a pretty legitimate law to ban me for a pretty ­illegitimate reason.”

We all know what the real reason is, of course. Labor, like most Western governments, is terrified that ‘offending’ Muslims – which is like shooting fish in a barrel – will send them off into yet another violent, murderous rage. As opposed to their violent, murderous rages the rest of the time.

Because nothing says ‘religion of peace’ like lynching some poor shmuck in Karachi because Abdul the Goat-Buggerer totally reckoned he burned a Koran.

Jewish Australians are all too aware of Labor’s disgusting, cowardly Islamophilia and its nudging and winking at anti-Semitism.

The decision also drew the ire of right-wing Jewish group the Australian Jewish Association, who had been set to host one of Mr Yahood’s self-defence sessions, claiming the government had targeted Jewish visitors and that the ban was a “misuse” of Mr Burke’s ministerial powers.

The body cited visa bans for former Israeli justice minister Ayelet Shaked, Knesset member Simcha Rothman and tech entrepreneur Hillel Fuld as proof of “persistent targeting” of the Jewish community, which it said had “contributed to the rise in antisemitism in Australia”.

“Sammy Yahood was scheduled to visit Australia to speak at major synagogues in Sydney and Melbourne to participate in a ­series of event with different ­Jewish organisations,” the AJA’s chief executive, Robert Gregory, said.

“The latest cancellation re­inforced deep concerns within the Jewish community that despite the horror of the Bondi massacre and the government’s belated apology, the Albanese government hasn’t changed and was never genuine.”

Because Albanese hasn’t changed since his youth spent spluttering anti-Israel hate along with the rest of his vicious, ignorant lefty mates.
