The Albanese government’s claims to be serious about tackling anti-Semitism have been exposed for all to see: however, they’ve shown themselves – yet again – grossly pandering to anti-Semitic hate.
At least we now know which group holds the strings of power in Australia.
The Albanese government has cancelled the visa of high-profile Israeli-American tech influencer Hillel Fuld, citing concerns that his presence in the country may pose a risk to “the health, safety or good order” of the Australian community, particularly among Muslim Australians.
Translation: they’re terrified of upsetting the beardy-weirdies of Western Sydney, in case they go all ‘Allahu akbar’, yet again.
Yes, the Albanese government is determined not to ‘offend’ the same people who danced in the streets of Punchbowl and set off fireworks as soon as the news of October 7 broke. The same people who, two days later, stormed a vigil at the Sydney Opera House, chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’
On that grotesque night, the only person NSW police arrested was a Jewish Australian.
The same Labor government who do nothing about the fanatical conga-line of Muslim hate-preachers (a tautology?) are once again punishing Jews in order to pander to Muslim hate.
The Department of Home Affairs quietly cancelled Mr Fuld’s travel visa this week, accusing him of using social media to deny “documented atrocities” in Gaza, promote Islamophobic views, and spread inflammatory content that could incite division amid heightened community tensions.
He’ll tell the truth, in other words.
What are these “documented atrocities” the DHA is talking about?
One post cited in the visa cancellation decision was a March 2024 Instagram video in which Mr Fuld dismissed as “propaganda” reports by international media outlets that Israeli troops had opened fire on starving Palestinians looking for food aid in Gaza, killing over 100.
The same international media who claimed Israeli troops had opened fire on ‘Palestians’ at an aid distribution centre – which, they quickly admitted, was a complete lie.
“There was no massacre of Palestinians in Gaza today,” he said in the clip.
“Palestinians trampled each other as they fought for the aid that the IDF sent in.”
Apparently the DHA would prefer to take Hamas’ word for it.
And these “Islamophobic views”?
Claims that large segments of the Muslim population support terrorism.
Yet again, a well-documented fact. In Britain, one in five Muslims expressed support for jihadis like ISIS. One quarter agreed that violence in the name of Islam was justified. Globally, Gallup polls show similar support for religiously motivated violence, including suicide bombings.
In a lengthy post on X published in January 2025, Mr Fuld asserted that 10 to 15 per cent of the world’s Muslims were “radicalised,” labelled “radical Islam” a “global plague,” and compared Gazan civilians to Nazi-era Germans, claiming that they should be “treated as such”. He also argued it was not “safe to assume that all children in Gaza are innocent.”
Again: where is he wrong? Has the DHA never seen a single one of the photos of Gazan children decked out in military gear and Hamas paraphernalia, while brandishing weapons? The videos of Gazan kindergartners and schoolchildren chanting about killing Jews?
As for supposed “broad attacks on the Palestinian identity”, if their complaint is that he points out that ‘Palestinian’ is an entire modern, made-up, coinage to describe Arab interlopers in the indigenous Jewish homeland, then… well, yes.
In other words, all Fuld has done is dare to tell the truth while Jewish.
The decision has been condemned by the Australian Jewish Association, which labelled it anti-Semitic and politically motivated.
“In light of the fact that the Labor Government is targeting Jewish visitors by cancelling visas, AJA will issue a formal warning to Jews around the world to consider the risks of travelling to Australia,” AJA CEO Robert Gregory said.
“There is a real concern that Jewish visitors may have their visas revoked after flights and accommodation are booked.”
They’re not the only people around the world raising eyebrows.
The US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has confronted Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke after he revoked the visa of Israeli-American speaker Hillel Fuld from Australia, sparking an international diplomacy test for the Albanese government.
In an email sent directly to the Home Affairs Minister, and obtained by the Australian, Mr Huckabee called Mr Fuld a “highly respected” US-Israeli who was not a “threat of any kind” to the nation that barred him.
Let’s face it, we all know where the threat’s coming from – and it’s not from Jews speaking truths the Labor government wants to deny.
At least they didn’t make him sit an admission test in Gaelic.
