Australia and Israel have always been friends irrespective of which party has been in government. Until now.

Since the Albanese government was elected, with less than one third of the primary vote, it has been insulting and offending Israel.

. Cancelled the previous government’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
. Replaced the term ‘disputed territories’ with the insulting ‘occupied Palestinian territories’.
. Increased funding of UNRWA thereby also funding Hamas.
. Demanded “restraint” from Israel after the October 7 atrocity against Israelis.
. Demanded ceasefires that would have been too risky for Israel.
. Pushing a ‘two state’ solution continually rejected by Hamas and Palestinians.
. Demanding that Israel aid Gazans, most of whom support Hamas.
. Dressing down the Israeli ambassador by junior minister Tim Watt.
. Failed to undertake not to arrest the Israeli PM after the idiotic ICC warrant.
. Refused an entry visa for an ex-Israel government minister.
. Sat back and did nothing about thugs on our streets calling for gassing of Jews.
. Allowed Australia to be associated with violent anti-Semitism.
. In the UN, shifted its vote from Israel to Israel's enemies.
. Took no action against the Iranian ambassador for his anti-Semitic comments here.

Even with that shocking record, Wong and Dreyfus have trotted off to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, calling for “unity” against anti-Semitism.

These two people have been part of a government that has overseen the greatest rise in anti-Semitism in Australia, ever. What hypocrites!

Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors of
Nazi genocide condemn the massacre of Palestinians
in Gaza.

Here is a link that is an important one to read:

http://teachinghistorymatters.com/2012/04/02/so-i-am-suspicious-of-education/

Israeli educational psychologist Dr Haim Ginott
writes about a letter that teachers would receive from
their principal each year:

"I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw
what no person should witness; gas chambers built by
learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated
physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women
and children shot by high school and college graduates.

So, I am suspicious of education.

My request is this:

Help your children become human. Your efforts must never
produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths or educated
Eichmanns. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are
imported only if they serve to make our children more human".

I read this many years ago. However, it is a good reminder
to us all on the anniversary of the Holocaust and considering
the hate that is spreading around the world. I was lucky
enough to read Dr Ginott's book in Los Angeles where we
lived and worked for ten years. I preferred his advice to
Dr Spock's. I raised my children accordingly.

There's enough hatred in the world. We as parents/grand-parents
and educators of our kids and families, don't need to add to it.
Remember what your children learn from you can survive for
generations. Be wise with what you teach them.

And now… Trump has fingered Australia, Canada, Uk, and other leftist countries, as a recipient of Neolithic Palestinian Head Hunters dressed up as refugees; forced Israel to accept a Biden ceasefire proposal from May last year, rejected by both sides then, effectively drawing the war to a stalemate which will allow Hamas to regroup rearm and fight on in the future.

Failed at all to call out Qatar as the main arm of terrorists financing and organisation in the ME, inclusive of the terrorists propaganda voice, Al Jazeera, financed by Qatar, and actually included Qatar into negotiations as the good guys.

Situational change is occurring in the US, but very little changed in US foreign affairs policies from Biden/Obama

This outpouring of hatred by way of this hideous and thinly disguised support for a murderous regime in Israel is quite frankly making me sick. I have heard excuses from extremists and apologists which include “Israel has a biblical right / historical claim to the land and the Palestinians only have ‘squatters rights’ which means nothing for them.” And the second I or anyone else (including a government) disagree with those excuses and want to see the end of conflict, we are branded as antihistamines and no friend of the Jews. What a cheap, dishonest and lazy response. Personally I very loudly applaud and support the current Australian government’s efforts to bring lasting peace to the area and the eventual hunting down and arrest of the murderous leader of the current Israel government. The slaughter of 47,000 Palestinian people and the destruction of their land can never be justified in a sane civil world.

«Since the Albanese government was elected, with less than one third of the primary vote, it has been insulting and offending Israel.»

It is well for it to support sane Israelis against their evil extremist government:

«. Cancelled the previous government’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.»

Well yes, they should have been more precise: only Western Jerusalem is Israel's capital.

«. Replaced the term ‘disputed territories’ with the insulting ‘occupied Palestinian territories’.»

Half true again: these territories are indeed occupied, but not "Palestinian" (because there aren't such).

«. Demanded “restraint” from Israel after the October 7 atrocity against Israelis.»

Terrible as it was, restraint is auspicious.
There has been enough violence already.

«. Demanded ceasefires that would have been too risky for Israel.»

Remaining at war is even riskier and deadly for Israel.

«. Pushing a ‘two state’ solution continually rejected by Hamas and Palestinians.»

Who cares about them, whatever they accept or reject - 'two state' is good for Israel.

«. Demanding that Israel aid Gazans, most of whom support Hamas.»

This can help remove Gazan's dependence on Hamas.

«. Dressing down the Israeli ambassador by junior minister Tim Watt.»

And many Israelis are thankful for it.

«. Failed to undertake not to arrest the Israeli PM after the idiotic ICC warrant.»

If Netanyahu is arrested, Israel can be saved.

«. Refused an entry visa for an ex-Israel government minister.»

Her speaking in Australia was likely to incite anti-Semitism.

«. Sat back and did nothing about thugs on our streets calling for gassing of Jews.»

Preferred covert surveillance.

«. Allowed Australia to be associated with violent anti-Semitism.»

Could they prevent it? How?

«. In the UN, shifted its vote from Israel to Israel's enemies.»

A pro-Israel vote, to save Israel from its present government.

«. Took no action against the Iranian ambassador for his anti-Semitic comments here.»

«These two people have been part of a government that has overseen the greatest rise in anti-Semitism in Australia, ever. What hypocrites!»

It's a global murky wave - can we tell how much more anti-Semitism would we now have otherwise?
