This week’s rush by too many nations to recognise the ‘state’ of ‘Palestine’ is not just the blackest day of international infamy since the Munich Agreement. It’s not just a likely flagrant breach of international law.
In the case of Australia, it’s the Labor government betraying both the Jewish community and its own, once honourable, history.
In 1973, perhaps Labor’s greatest PM, Bob Hawke, warned that “If the bell tolls for Israel, it won’t just toll for Israel, it will toll for all mankind.” Hawke rightly warned that, if the forces of Islamic terror and hate who are so implacably opposed to not just the Jewish state, but the Jewish people themselves, ever won, it would be a death toll for us all. As Hamas have repeatedly made clear: today Israel, tomorrow the world. Their stated goal is a global Islamic state, with all that entails.
But Albanese’s betrayal runs even deeper than that: it was another Labor great who was once key to re-establishing the Jewish state.
Herbert Vere “Doc” Evatt was Australia’s external affairs minister in 1947 and leading the United Nation’s Ad-Hoc Committee on the Palestinian Question.
Back before it became the corrupt, venal, outdated globalist institution it is today, Doc Evatt was instrumental in the formation of the UN itself. Even as the flames of WWII turned nuclear, Evatt (nicknamed ‘Doc’, for his resemblance to the Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs character) was a pivotal figure at the 1945 San Francisco Conference that established the UN. He was pivotal in drafting the UN Charter, successfully campaigning to give the General Assembly more powers and ensuring that countries had a greater say. He was president of the General Assembly from 1948 to 1949.
And, in 1947, he was chair of the United Nations Palestine Commission, which partitioned the then-British mandate and established the modern state of Israel. In effect, the first ‘two-state solution’.
This, of course, the Arabs violently rejected, as the ‘Palestinian’ Arabs have continued to do, to this very day.
In November of 1947, the UN General Assembly voted in favour of Resolution 181, also known as the UN Partition Plan for Palestine.
“The Jewish population of Palestine at the time, which was not very large, said they would accept it, but the Palestinian population said they would not,” [Ian Parmeter, a research scholar at the Australian National University’s Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies] said.
“The Arab states surrounding Palestine – Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and even Iraq – all encouraged the Palestinians to reject the separation of their homelands.”
Except that it was never their ‘homelands’: Palestinians are Arab colonisers. Only Jews are indigenous to Israel.
Remember this, whenever some pallywanker blithers about the UN: it was the UN itself which established the Israeli state, and the ‘Palestinians’ who rejected it. Compare that with, say, Jordan: created unilaterally from nothing by the British, but accepted by Arabs.
“[Evatt] thought the idea of a separate homeland for the Jewish people in historical Palestine was nothing less than what the Jewish people deserved at that point […]
Australia was the first country to show their support of Resolution 181 at the United Nations General Assembly.
“Australia did play a very important role and is recognised very much by Israel and that’s because Australia, beginning with [the letter] A, of course, was the first country to put its hand up,” Mr Parmeter said.
And now, Australia is one of the first countries to betray Israel, by rewarding the terrorist savagery of the ‘Palestinian’ Arabs, who want to wipe the Jewish state off the face of the map.
Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong are simply not fit to be wiped off the soles of Doc Evatt’s shoes.
