Is anyone still buying the line that the whole ‘pro-Palestine’ movement is simply a paper-thin mask for the ugliest anti-Semitism since the Brownshirts?
The jig was up from the start, of course: a baying mob of Muslims and Greens politicians, howling ‘Gas the Jews!’ on the steps of the Sydney Opera House was a pretty obvious giveaway. Still, the left have striven mightily to pretend otherwise. After all, anti-Semitism is a particularly ugly form of racism and the left’s overwhelming conceit is that everyone is racist but them.
There’s no pretending now.
A southwest Sydney synagogue has become the latest target of anti-Semitic vandals who spray-painted swastikas and the words “Hitler on top” on the building early on Friday morning.
Red and black swastikas defaced the white walls of the Synagogue on Railway Ave, Allaway, with police at the scene searching for leads to identify the vandals.
This is just the latest in a string of blatantly anti-Semitic attacks by ‘pro-Palestine’ thugs. Synagogues have been repeatedly attacked – Jewish houses of worship, not Israeli government buildings, in other words. Senior Greens leaders have posed proudly besides drooling racists carrying placards calling to ‘cleanse the world’ of the Star of David, the Jewish symbol. Marchers have brandished the symbols of Hamas and Hezbollah, some of the vilest, most brutally violent anti-Semitic organisations in the world.
Leaving absolutely no room for doubt, ‘pro-Palestinians’ have defaced Jewish residences with ‘Fuck the Jews’ graffiti.
This incident is the third just this week, with a car in Sydney’s east being tagged with “F**k the Jews” and the arrest of a 20-year-old man who allegedly made a threatening “gun gesture” at a man outside of a synagogue in St Ives both occurring on Monday.
Tell me again that it’s not anti-Semitism.
NSW Premier Chris Minns arrived at the synagogue, which is in his electorate, on Friday morning and was seen speaking with leaders of the synagogue and police officers.
Mr Minns called the perpetrators “bastards” and individuals who “have got hate in their hearts, that are determined to divide our community in two” at a press conference.
Mr Minns said the perpetrators “should be ashamed of their actions, not just in southern Sydney but across metropolitan Sydney in the last few months” and vowed to continue strengthening laws and putting resources towards crime prevention.
If only he’d said that a year ago, when Western Sydney’s Muslims erupted into spontaneous celebrations of the worst massacres of Jews since WWII. Or when the anti-Semitic mob stormed a vigil for the October 7 victims. Instead, like the PM and every other Labor politicians, Minns and the NSW police did nothing.
Well, not quite nothing: they did arrest one person.
A Jewish-Australian. For carrying an Israeli flag.
Even now, the media, not even the Australian, can bring themselves to report the whole truth.
As the Oz correctly says, the latest graffiti attack featured the words, ‘Hitler on top’. But that wasn’t all it said.
Right underneath that, was a truncated version of the familiar slogan, ‘Allahu akbar’.
Why wouldn’t the media tell us that?
Southern Sydney Synagogue President George Foster said police informed him of the incident at 4.30am and “apologised that they only just missed the people who did it”.
Dr Foster said the rise of anti-Semitic hate crimes must be addressed by prosecution.
“That’s what we have to do to try and stop it … that might slow them down,” he said.
Dr Foster is also the president of the Australian Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Descendants and said the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia mirrored the start of World War Two.
“My parents were Hungarian survivors, and seeing what I’m seeing on the wall, particularly referencing Hitler … just brings back images of way back to 1933, when Jewish businesses and Jewish institutions were graffitied with signs of swastikas”.
And once again, the radical left are enabling it. Only this time, in a disturbing echo of late-’70s Iran, the left are also allying themselves with virulently anti-Jewish Islam.
