For all their self-serving rhetoric, Jewish Australians have no doubt whose side the Albanese government is taking. After all, there are nearly seven times as many Muslims in Australia than Jews. More importantly, Jewish Australia is concentrated in a handful of Liberal and Teal seats, while the vastly greater Muslim population is concentrated in critical Labor seats.
You do the maths.
Because we know the Albanese government has – and they’re pouring money into the pockets of the most disgusting people just to buy votes in Western Sydney.
The Albanese government has awarded almost $30 million to an Islamic organisation whose top cleric urged Muslims to wage jihad and fund fighters against Israel.
This masthead can reveal Home Affairs – Australia’s top national security department – gave the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC) $27m under its “Security Uplifts for Muslim Communities in Australia Program”.
It was no mere bureaucratic oversight, either. The Albanese government specifically singled out these hatemongers to receive tens of millions of taxpayer’s money.
It was delivered without government announcement through a “closed non-competitive” process where no other group was allowed to apply.
Keep in mind: this isn’t some fringe nutter group; this is the mythical ‘moderate Muslims’ we’re always being told about.
Weeks earlier, Ibrahim Abu Mohamad – who is ANIC’s top cleric and chairman of its Australian Fatwa Council – joined in issuing an International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) ruling urging “jihad” against Israel.
“... It is obligatory for all Muslims and Muslim nations to engage in jihad against the Zionist entity … Military intervention, as well as supplying the mujahideen with weapons, expertise, and intelligence, is a binding duty – firstly upon the people of Palestine, then the neighbouring countries … followed by all Arab and Muslim nations.”, the IUMS ruling said.
They’re explicitly telling Australian Muslims to fund weapons and fighters for terrorist groups.
“Financial jihad is an obligation upon every capable Muslim. Wealthy Muslims must spend from their own wealth – not just from zakat – to equip the mujahideen and support the oppressed,” the fatwa in which Dr Mohamad joined said.
And the Albanese government was only too ready to finance anti-Semitic terror.
The $27m security grant began flowing from 12 weeks later, closely following another $1.1m Home Affairs grant delivered that same month to “support … communities affected by the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
It runs until 2028 to “enhance security resources for mosques, Islamic centres, Islamic schools and other community facilities utilised and attended by the Muslim community in Australia”.
In January 2024, Home Affairs awarded ANIC another $1.1m to “support Palestinian-Australian, Muslim and other communities affected by the Israel-Palestine conflict”.
In case anyone missed the point, they’re also coming right out and saying that they are not us.
“Muslim populations must provide food, medicine, clothing, and fuel to Gaza by all means possible. If governments block this support, they must be defied.”
In other words, they’re Muslims first, second and third… being loyal Australian citizens doesn’t come into it.
Minister for Home Affairs Tony Burke did not comment on the fatwa.
In a statement, Mr Burke said, “Jewish and Muslim communities are at a heightened risk at the moment, and it’s important that everyone can be safe and feel safe.”
To prove it, he’s going and shovelling cash into the pockets of Jew-hating fanatics.
“That Tony Burke, the Minister responsible for social cohesion, does not see any issues with plunging almost $30 million into an organisation that has engaged a cleric to urge global jihad defies belief”, Opposition spokesman for Home Affairs Jonno Duniam said.
“Anti-Semitism is rife across our country and the government should be doing all it can to stamp it out. Instead, its funding grants appear to abet it.”
The Albanese government would be funding the National Socialist Network if they thought there was a big enough Nazi vote in it for them.
