Has there ever been a more pathetic and destructive government than the Albanese Labor government? Even after Melbourne’s recent night of ‘Kristallnacht-on-the-Yarra’ anti-Jewish violence, Labor still refuses to do anything meaningful to curtail the anti-Semitic hate.
Worse, they’re cravenly pandering to the perpetrators.
Education Minister Jason Clare says the government will receive a report from its special envoy to combat Islamophobia next month, after it received one from the special envoy to combat anti-Semitism.
Since when does an Australian government need the OK from Muslims to do anything? Well, since Albanese came to power, obviously.
It was, after all, from Muslim-dominated Western Sydney that the current cancerous spread of anti-Semitism first metastasised. For years, Sydney’s Islamic preachers have been spouting spittle-flecked anti-Jewish bile. When the news of the worst massacre of Jews since WWII broke, Muslim communities erupted into spontaneous celebration. The next night, a mob of thousands of Muslims stormed the Sydney Opera House, chanting “Gas the Jews”.
The Albanese government, always with one eye on its key seats in Western Sydney, is too terrified – or sympathetic – to do anything about it.
Mr Clare said he would take colleague Ed Husic’s “counsel” after Mr Husic urged the government not to be too “heavy-handed” in its response to anti-Semitism and questioned key findings of a key report by the government’s hand-picked envoy to combat anti-Semitism.
Husic is also the most senior Muslim politician in Australia.
And when Muslims bark, Labor cowers in submission.
Former Labor minister Ed Husic has told the government not to be too “heavy-handed” responding to the anti-Semitism crisis, questioning the key call of a government report to take on universities and arts festivals that permit anti-Jewish messaging and figures.
Mr Husic, who was one of the first Muslim MPs to be a cabinet minister but was put on the backbench following the last election, pushed back against specifically three points made in anti-Semitism envoy Jillian Segal’s report last week.
Those three points were: the assertion that young people were more likely to hold anti-Semitic views; singling out an ABC report for spreading “manipulated narratives”; and the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of anti-Semitism.
In other words, Husic doesn’t want the government to do a damned thing about the wave of violent anti-Semitic terror.
Why not?
It sounds very much that he’s simply furious that his voters and co-religionists are being held to account.
Do you want Sharia law, Australia? Because you’ve got it.
