When Egyptian president Anwar Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel, Islamists within the army orchestrated his assassination. This dichotomy – official co-operation with Israel, coupled with covert sympathy for anti-Semitic Islamic ideology within the military – persists in Egypt today. The Egyptian military, like Iran and Qatar, knows Hamas’s leadership
Compare and contrast these two news articles. Both are about Jerry Seinfeld being heckled by pro-Palestine protestors. The first, from Newshub, takes the point of view of some random woman named Chloe Jamieson whose only qualification is that she was at the show. From this journalism expert we learn that
Any doubts that the Australian Labor Party have sold their souls to pander to the Muslim vote have been dispelled for good. The party’s kid-gloves treatment of ‘rat’ Fatima Payman gives the jig away for all to see. Western Australian senator Fatima Payman has crossed the floor to vote

Barbara Kay lives in Montreal. She is a columnist for the National Post, the Epoch Times and the WesternStandardOnline.com. Israel is home to about 150,000 Christians, 80 percent of them Arabs. They live and prosper in security and equality with their fellow Jewish and Muslim citizens. But they
As Australia, like the rest of the West, continues to slide into the dark valley of unabashed anti-Semitism, for our elites, it’s very much one step forward, two big ol’ goose-steps backward. Yesterday, the government and opposition united in condemning anti-Semitism, and especially its representatives and enablers in parliament,
What would you call an organisation that: * Has terrorists who participated in one of the worst massacres of Jews in nearly a century on its payroll; * Has been found to have extensive terrorist infrastructure on most of its properties; * Lets armed terrorists wander freely in its compounds; and, * Runs schools
Can Australians really believe Anthony Albanese when he occasionally and reluctantly speaks out against anti-semitism? Opposition leader Peter Dutton has been clear and unequivocal in his full-throated condemnation of the tidal wave of anti-semitism currently staining the West. Albanese, on the other hand, struggles to even mention it. Even when
After the end of WWII and the collapse of the Third Reich, South American countries became notorious as refuges for fleeing Nazis. From Adolf Eichmann to Josef Mengele, thousands of Nazis fled along the “ratlines”. Argentina, where president Juan Peron ordered the smuggling of Nazis and Fascists, became a prime
If the wave of anti-Semitism was solely confined to ignorant students and ranting Muslims, that would be bad enough. That anti-Semitism has infested almost every institution in the West, from academia and media, to state bureaucracy, is horrifying. If you think I’m being alarmist, then you’re not paying
As the filth of anti-Semitism more and more pollutes the public sphere, the inevitable clamour of “the gummint should ban it!” rises. No one outside of the Greens or Lakemba Mosque would dispute that governments and public institutions have so far woefully failed to do anything meaningful to tackle anti-Semitism.
As both Hillary Clinton and former Australian PM Julia Gillard – credit where it’s due to both – have recently observed, the pro-Hamas mobs storming university campuses and social media are singularly ignorant of history. “They don’t know very much at all about the history of the Middle East, or
Opinion polling shows that support for Israel among ordinary people remains strong. Very few support Hamas. Yet, that is not what we see peddled by the media, who too-obviously sympathise with the vicious ignoramuses screaming in the streets and on university campuses. Yet again, the divide between the elite minority
As former Australian PM Julia Gillard recently said, too many of the most passionate loudmouths cheering on Hamas are almost entirely ignorant of the facts of history regarding Israel and “Palestine”. “I think a lot of what is going on today is a distortion of history from social media. It’
