As I wrote recently, it’s well time past for some honesty: stop calling these vile ghouls ‘pro-Palestinian’. Call them what they are: vicious anti-Semites.
If anyone is still inclined to try and justify the lie of ‘pro-Palestinian’, then the second anniversary of Oct 7 is demolishing any attempt at dissembling. When someone’s reaction to the worst massacre of Jews since WWII is open celebration – they’re as anti-Semitic as any SS Obergruppenführer.
“Glory to Hamas” has been written on a blank advertising display on a corner in Fitzroy, Melbourne, on the two-year anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel, pictures shared on social media show.
The graffiti also appeared with an outline of a Palestinian flag.
The advertising board is on the high-traffic intersection of Alexandra Parade and Brunswick Street.
Graffiti has also appeared on the Officeworks building on Alexandra Parade saying “Free Palestine” and “Oct 7 do it again”.
Tell me again how it’s not anti-Semitism.
By way of context for NZ readers: Fitzroy is the epicentre of green-left Melbourne hipsterdom. It’s where white millennial couples live in multi-million-dollar terrace houses and vote Green. Even though former Greens leader Adam Bandt lost the seat, that was on preferences and partly due to a change in electoral boundaries: he still polled far and away the most primary votes.
But now that the seat’s flipped Labor, don’t expect much other than some unconvincing huffing and puffing from the state Labor government.
Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan said the words painted on the billboard in Fitzroy were offensive, and “every effort” was being made to have it removed.
Compare that with the swiftness with which Labor moved to ban Nazi symbols, after a few sieg heil-ing LARPers gatecrashed a women’s rights rally. After all, as federal opposition leader Sussan Ley points out, Hamas is a listed terrorist organisation. Graffiti praising them is a crime.
Unfortunately, despite being listed as such overseas, our weak governments are yet to list jihadists Hizb ut-Tahrir as a terror group, which conveniently gives Labor governments a wriggle-out when the Hizbies are out baying for Jewish blood on the streets.
NSW Premier Chris Minns will not intervene to halt a protest “honouring two years of resistance” on October 7 despite saying there was “no place for anyone celebrating terrorism”.
Anthony Albanese has slammed the protest scheduled for the two-year anniversary of terrorist group Hamas’ attack on Israel, saying it would set back support for the Palestinian cause in Australia and that the tragedy should instead be “commemorated”.
Stand4Palestine, a pro-Palestine protest group linked with fundamentalist Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir, is scheduled to hold a protest “honouring two years of resistance” on Tuesday in Bankstown, southwest Sydney.
The protest is scheduled to feature speakers like Sheik Ibrahim Dadoun, who on the day after the October 7 attacks, told a rally in Sydney that he was “smiling … happy … elated”.
Well, then, Minns and Albanese – do something. Don’t just make a show of wringing your hands. There are already multiple laws that allow you to take action, so why won’t you?
It’s the votes, isn’t it? Too many votes in Western Sydney you stand to lose if you actually stand up to the Jew-haters.
As for the so-called ‘moderate Muslim majority’, they’re missing in action as always.
Acting opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson on Sunday called on the Albanese government to condemn the event and withdraw the charitable status of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, which was listed as a supporting organisation […]
While mainstream Muslim groups like the Australian National Imams Council and the Lebanese Muslim Association are not associated with the protest – the LMA was the year before – they did not respond to questions about whether they thought the timing of the protest was inappropriate.
Contrast that with their unholy screeching any time anyone so much as mildly criticises Islam.
Even supposedly Mr Moderate Muslim poster-boy himself can’t help but turn this into an excuse for glass-jawed Islamic whining.
Muslim community leader Jamal Rifi slammed the protesters, saying there should “definitely not” be a protest on Tuesday […]
“There is no justification for what they did and there is no justification for what (Israeli Prime Minister) Netanyahu did afterwards.”
This is the equivalent of immediately adding ‘…and Islamophobia’ any time they’re asked to condemn anti-Semitism. No matter how grotesque the Islamic outrage, somehow they always manage to tout themselves as the ‘real victims’.
