Now, call me weird, but if someone is going for a job in the aviation industry, then ‘terrorist supporter’ is the last thing you’d want to see on their resume. I mean, there’s a bit of a well-known nexus between jihadi extremists and the aviation industry.
Apparently HR in the Australian aviation industry hasn’t quite cottoned on.
An activist who lauded slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar as a “warrior and legend” is a Sydney aviation industry worker who previously applauded Palestinian plane hijacker Leila Khaled.
Did she put them down as referees when she went for the job?
Other than calling Sinwar a “warrior”, she also “saluted” the slain Hamas chief, saying his “legend” would never be forgotten.
“The star of resistance, we will never forget you (Sinwar) and we will never forget your legend,” said [Jana Fayyad], who in March described Khaled as a “liberator”.
“Long live the resistance, the resistance lives on.”
A tip for aviation industry recruiters: anyone who describes the butchers of Hamas as ‘resistance’, or praises anti-Semitic mass murderers, should be way down the bottom of the pile. Unless, of course, you’re hiring for Hezbollah – in which case, give the nasty bint a pager, stat.
In fact, buy a whole crate load from Mossad.
At a Melbourne rally on Sunday, pro-Palestine activist Mohammed Shaheen, flanked by BestFab steel manufacture boss Ihab Al Azhari and another activist known as Abdel-Rahman Al Qaisi, also chanted “we are your men, Sinwar”.
It comes after a Sydney conference that included Hizb ut-Tahrir activists and sheik Ibrahim Dadoun, who said that “Islam would bring justice to every corner of the world”.
Now, Australia has very clear laws about supporting terrorist organisations and terrorists. Why aren’t they being enforced, here?
We also have rules about who should be granted a visa or not. When it comes to ‘good character’, a racist activist who openly supports terrorists hardly seems the sort of person to pass the test.
Jewish leaders urged Immigration Minister Tony Burke on Monday to cancel, or block, [Shaun King’s] visa. He was set to start an Australian tour on Tuesday in Brisbane but has since postponed it to January.
Since Sinwar’s death, Mr King has shared content calling the slain Hamas chief a “dear brother” who died a “martyr”, and told his 85,000 Telegram followers that he was a “leader, fighter, martyr”, suggesting the media should refer to the terror group and its deceased leader as “heroes”.
Apart from supporting terrorist organisations, Talcum X keeps some pretty whiffy company.
Mr King has toured the US with professor Khaled Beydoun, whose Australian visa was cancelled last week after telling a Sydney rally that “in some ways” October 7 was a “good day”.
Now, like laws banning certain flags or gestures, the ‘good character test’ is wide open for abuse. And, just like those other laws, the test almost always seems to be abused in only one direction. If Katie Hopkins can be booted from the country for a bad-taste joke, why on earth would a terror-supporting creep like Talcum X not be banned?
Or is it just another example of two-tier rules?
AIJAC executive director Colin Rubenstein believed that on character grounds, Mr King should not be granted a visa, and nor should his planned speaking partner, Mansour Shouman, a Palestinian-Canadian journalist who has called into question the number of Israelis Hamas killed on October 7.
“These individuals make a living spreading racist lies and conspiracy theories … they threaten Australia’s social cohesion and should have failed the character test for entering Australia,” Dr Rubenstein said.
Even Meta apparently has more balls than the Australian government: King was banned from Instagram precisely for his ‘praise (of) designated entities’.
Although he said it was due to his content showing what was happening in Gaza.
Yes, well… he also says he’s black.
