Labor Panders to Imported Hate

As the global tide of anti-Semitism surges to alarming levels not seen since the Third Reich, Australia is far from immune. Indeed, largely thanks to mass Muslim immigration, we’re too often shamefully at the epicentre. It was a mob of Sydney Muslims, accompanied by cheerful Greens politicians, who startled the world by descending on an October 7 memorial at the Opera House last year, chanting, ‘Gas the Jews!’

Now, barely more than a week after a mass pogrom by Muslims in the Netherlands, an anti-Semitic mob has staged their own mini-Kristallnacht in Sydney’s Jewish heartland.

Celebrity chef Matt Moran’s Chiswick restaurant has been vandalised with anti-Israel slurs overnight along with several cars in the same exclusive Sydney suburb, one of which was set on fire.

Emergency services were called to the car fire on Wellington Street in Woollahra about 12.35am on Thursday.

Fire and Rescue NSW extinguished the fire but police then found up to a dozen cars graffitied with anti-Israel messages.

The graffiti also included threats on behalf of designated terrorist organisation, PKK.

One alleged perpetrator was arrested as he tried to flee the country. Good Oil readers will no doubt be flabbergasted to learn that he is named “Mohommed”

Strike Force Mylor officers arrested Mohommed Farhat at Sydney Airport at 3:50am this morning and took him to Mascot Police Station where he was charged.

Sky News reported he was on his way to Thailand and has a Hezbollah tattoo.

Perhaps he was on his way to join anti-Semitic restaurateur Al Yazbek at his ashram retreat.

PM Anthony Albanese was quick to call a spade a rectangular manual earth-moving implement.

Anthony Albanese condemned the attacks in Woollahra, but Jewish leaders and former prime minister John Howard said Labor’s ‘inaction’ on anti-Semitism was partly to blame for the major escalation in violence.

Once upon a time, Australia’s leadership was nowhere near so pathetic.

I shall treat any attack on the Jews as an attack upon my wife and my children – former NSW Labor minister Abe Landa, 1946.

Nowadays, Labor are in the business of banning Jews from the country.

Right-wing former Israeli government minister Ayelet Shaked has been denied a visa to come to Australia on character grounds in a fresh blow to the Albanese government’s relationship with the Jewish state.

The former interior and justice minister, who was due to attend a security conference in Canberra next week, was told by Home ­Affairs late on Thursday that her application for a visitor visa had been refused because she could “vilify” Australians or “incite discord”.

Translation: the Muslims might go all “Allahu Akbar”… again.

Ms Shaked blasted the rejection as “shameful”.

“This political decision of this government is nothing short of a hostile anti-Semitic act,” she told the Australian.

“Just last year, I was welcomed as a guest in this country. This decision is an affront to the Jewish community and a stain on the Australian government’s moral standing.

“It betrays the principles of friendship and solidarity that should bind democracies together.”

Yes, but Albo desperately needs the votes of Muslim Western Sydney to cling to government.

Australian/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council executive director Colin Rubenstein said the decision to bar Ms Shaked was “a disgraceful act of hostility towards a democratic ally”.

“It is extraordinary that a government that refuses to take any meaningful action against an Iranian ambassador who effectively calls for genocide would act so undiplomatically towards a friend,” Dr Rubenstein said.

“It is not the act of a responsible government, but further evidence of the loss of perspective and principle where the primary concern seems to be shoring up votes, since the horrific terrorist attacks of October 7.”

Disgracefully, it’s all of a piece with the Albanese government’s craven pandering to anti-Semitic hatred.

The visa refusal follows the government’s move to switch its position on key UN votes on Israel and demand ceasefires, stretching ties with Jerusalem and angering the Jewish community and its supporters.

Labor have come a long way – in the wrong direction – since Bob Hawke reminded the world that, ‘If the bell tolls for Israel, it tolls for all of us’.
