Maybe Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong aren’t closet anti-Semites – but if they were, what would they be doing differently?
Sitting mute as mobs chanting ‘Gas the Jews’ storm an October 7 vigil? Repeatedly demanding that Israel do nothing while its citizens are murdered in their homes, and held captive, brutalised, raped and tortured in a network of secret tunnels for over 18 months? Excoriating Israel and voting against it in the UN, while barely uttering a word of rebuke to Hamas? Threatening to arrest the Israeli prime minister if he should come to Australia? Banning Israeli visitors, while happily accommodating drooling anti-Semitic Muslim hate-preachers?
The only thing Albanese or Wong could do, to remove all doubt, is quote The Protocols of the Elders of Zion in Question Time.
What could prompt anyone to suggest that Australia’s current government attitude to Israel is ‘cowardice dressed in the robes of diplomacy’? It’s more like belligerent antisemitism dressed in the robes of belligerent antisemitism.
This is not a government of cowardice: it’s a government of hate. They’re not refusing to take a side – they’ve clearly taken a side. The side of Hamas.
Labor is not making a mistake. In my view, it is age-old antisemitism. They appear to be intentionally breaking down Australia’s relationship with Israel, while also damaging Australia’s relationship with the US.
It’s Albanese, the university Marxist and protege of Labor’s old school communists, making good on the Long March Left’s determination to fatally weaken the West from the inside. This isn’t just obvious in its conduct toward Israel and the US: it’s also self-evident in Labor’s relentless toadying to Communist China.
It’s also obvious in its wrecking of Australia’s economy and its defence capability.
It isn’t ignorance or incompetence that drives climate change and energy policies: it’s deliberate. The hokum of the climate change narrative serves to provide cover, just as Labor’s unrealistic insistence that ‘we urge de-escalation, we urge restraint, we urge dialogue and diplomacy’. Tell that to the Mullahs of Iran […]
If actions (see above) speak louder than words, Labor’s actions seem to align more with the wishes of the Islamic Republic of Iran than those of Israel. Except, of course, for the disingenuous call for a two-state solution.
Wong and Albanese are the only people, outside the feckless, irrelevant popinjays of the EU and the witless NZ government, who still think a ‘two-state solution’ is even viable. No one in the region does. The Arabs have violently rejected the idea at every turn since it was first mooted by the UN in the 1940s. Israel has seen for itself just how ludicrous the idea is that it should live permanently alongside savages whose only moral compass is killing Jews.
To ‘again reiterate’, actions speak louder than words. Minister Wong should start by cancelling foreign aid payments to Palestine […]
In 2017, half of the US$693 million that the PA receives as foreign aid, US$345 million, was paid out as stipends to convicted terrorists and their families. In 2016 it supported 35,100 families […]
According to DFAT, the Australian government is providing an estimated $32.2 million to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in 2024-25, including $20.0 million to UNRWA, the agency many of whose employees participated in or assisted Hamas in the October 7 atrocities against Israel.
If the Labor government doesn’t want to be called anti-Semitic, it might want to try acting a bit less like it.
