In an episode of late ’90s/early 2000s Ted Danson’s sitcom Becker, the curmudgeonly titular doctor is accused of racism for grousing. But the tables are turned when his accusers inadvertently out themselves as peddling racial stereotypes. Becker just gets annoyed by individual idiots, but he never says that ‘all [insert race] are idiots’.
In their pandering haste to find ‘Islamophobia’ anywhere and everywhere, the Albanese government are similarly outing themselves.
An Israeli MP was blocked from entering Australia to stop him disrupting the nation’s Muslim community and repeating “inflammatory” comments on the need to eliminate Hamas, documents have revealed in the midst of a diplomatic stoush between Canberra and Jerusalem […]
“I (the minister’s delegate) […] consider his presence in Australia would or might be a risk to the good order of the Australian community or a segment of the Australian community, namely the Islamic population.”
The delegate further condemned ‘anti-Islamic’ statements.
So, let me get this straight: the Albanese government think that opining on the need to eliminate a savage terrorist group will so enrage Australian Muslims that violent disorder will ensue? And that condemning savage terrorists is ‘anti-Islamic’? Is there anything I’m missing here?
What are they trying to say, exactly?
One thing the media aren’t bothering to say is the truth.
The Albanese government this week decided to revoke the visa of Simcha Rothman, a member of Israel’s right-wing Religious Zionist Party and chair of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee […]
Home Affairs documents obtained by the Australian now reveal that Mr Rothman was denied his visa for fear his past comments – including calling Gazan children “enemies” and saying that the terror group Hamas should be eliminated – would spark major counter-protests.
This isn’t what Rothman said at all. Here’s what he actually said, in full, in an interview on Britain’s Channel 4 News:
Lindsey Hilsum: Come on, these children are dying of hunger because you have not been allowing aid in.
Simcha Rothman: They are not dying of hunger, and in any conflict that England was involved in the past, in this kind of environment, there were more innocent civilians killed and suffering hunger and everything else.
Lindsey Hilsum: Mr Smotrich, your leader, has said that the people of Gaza should leave. That the aim is to get them to leave.
Simcha Rothman: It’s a combat zone. When there is a combat zone, when there is a terrorist organisation who is hiding behind civilians, you should let them run away. And if you are blocking them, you are aiding and abetting a terrorist organisation using them as human shields. That’s not a moral thing to do. And if the United Kingdom wants to be a humanitarian country, that cares about human rights and human lives, they would help the Gazans, who want to leave the area, leave and not aid Hamas to use them as human shields.
Lindsey Hilsum: I’ve got an idea, why don’t you let them come over the border into Israel? Why don’t they flee into Israel?
Simcha Rothman: Because they are our enemies.
Rothman is talking about Gazans as a whole, who quite clearly are Israel’s enemies, every bit as much as Germans were Britain’s enemies in WWII. Any idiot finger-wagging Churchill to let Germans flood into Britain in 1940 would have been very quickly put in his place.
This is what the Albanese government considers “inflammatory and concerning”?
But not, apparently, tens of thousands of anti-Semites parading the images of terrorist leaders on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and chanting for the elimination of the Jewish state.
Mr Burke confirmed on Monday he had blocked Mr Rothman from entering Australia, declaring anyone who came to the country to spread “hate and division” would not be welcome.
“Our government takes a hard line on people who seek to come to our country and spread division,” Mr Burke said.
Unless they’re coming to Western Sydney and voting in Tony Burke’s Muslim-dominated electorate.
And who better qualified to really slather the icing on their big ol’ hypocrisy cake than the repulsive Penny Wong?
Foreign Minister Penny Wong has accused Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of “isolating Israel” and undermining peace, after Jerusalem revoked the visa of a key Australian diplomat.
So, it’s OK for the Albanese government to ban multiple Israeli government ministers and even bloggers, as well as rewarding Hamas for its brutality, but if Israel blocks a single Australian official, that’s an outrage? These people are truly disgusting hypocrites.
“We safeguard our communities and protect all Australians from hate and harm,” she claims. Unless they’re Jewish, obviously.
