From the moment the ‘pro-Palestine’ anti-Semitic extremists began polluting our streets, one obvious question should have been: who’s behind it? Most importantly, where is the money coming from? Because, as soon as identical tent cities of Jew-hating extremists began spreading like a cancer across university campuses, and millions of identical, printed placards littered city streets around the world, it was obvious that someone was pouring an awful lot of money into it all.
Worse, Australian Federal Police suspect that foreign money is funding the wave of anti-Semitic terror attacks across Melbourne and Sydney.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw has revealed that anti-Semitic offenders could be local criminals being paid by overseas actors in cryptocurrency, as Anthony Albanese was forced into convening a national cabinet meeting following the firebombing of a Sydney childcare centre.
What are they not saying, here? By ‘local criminals’, do they mean the infamous Lebanese crime gangs of Western Sydney? These same criminals, after all, tried to obtain machine guns and grenades in order to launch mass-murder attacks in retaliation for the 2005 Cronulla protests.
Police investigators are looking into links between young Australians exposed to radicalisation and whether those conducting attacks are criminals for hire being directed by overseas actors and using encrypted devices.
The Australian understands a number of high-profile arrests related to major anti-Semitic crimes are imminent.
Not that we’ll learn much from them, if the courts have their way.
A man has been charged after he allegedly attempted to set a Newtown synagogue on fire earlier this month.
CCTV captured two hooded men, dressed in black, spray painting swastikas onto the fence of the synagogue in Sydney’s inner west on the night of January 11, before also pouring lighter fluid onto the building, in an attempt to burn the premises.
Overnight, detectives attached to Strike Force Pearl, arrested a 33-year-old man after executing search warrants at two addresses on Pyrmont Bridge Road, Camperdown.
Photos released by police show the man wearing a grey sweatshirt and light track pants being put into the back of a police wagon.
Just ‘a man’ of no particular description. No name and face blurred. One could be forgiven for suspecting that both would be dead giveaways.
A total of nine people have now been charged under Strike Force Pearl, including four men – aged 31, 27, 40 and 26 – following fires at two businesses in Bondi in October 2024, three men – aged 20,19 and 21 – after 10 vehicles and buildings were allegedly deliberately damaged in Woollahra in November 2024, and a woman – aged 34 – charged after vehicles and buildings were allegedly deliberately damaged in Woollahra in December 2024.
Only a handful have been named. It’s unclear if name suppression is in place, or media are just politely averting their eyes. Extraordinarily, a Victorian court sought to suppress, not just the name, but the religious and ethnic identity and cultural affiliations of Laura Allam, a Muslim community organiser arrested in relation to an anti-Semitic kidnap/torture crime in Melbourne.
The Dutton opposition think Australians are entitled to know more about the extremist thugs running amok in their cities.
Opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson has demanded more information from Anthony Albanese about the police warning that foreign actors could be behind anti-Semitic attacks in Australia […]
Senator Paterson said it was a “gravely serious claim” and Australians were entitled to more information from the Prime Minister on Wednesday.
“This either means, if it is true, if it is confirmed, that a transnational terrorist organisation is sponsoring attacks in Australia or potentially that a foreign government is engaging in state-sponsored terror targeting the Jewish community,” he told ABC RN.
“Now, to put claims like that out there would make it the most serious domestic security crisis in peacetime in Australia’s history and would cause incredible alarm within the Jewish community.
“So a lot more information is required about this claim and a lot more comfort needs to be given about what is being done in response to it. You cannot put information out this partially as has been done so far.”
It’s a Labor government. When it comes to, ahem, ‘certain groups’, secrecy and cover ups are their first and only instinct.
Just ask the Brits.
