Following the recent unacceptable arson attack on a Jewish synagogue where there were no injuries or fatalities, now we are being lectured to (via a happily compliant media) by a leader who would be arrested for war crimes in 125 countries, (except of course our major military ally). A leader happy to send rockets into schools and hospitals but feels the need to comment on incidents in other countries half a world away. One of the worst warmongers since Hitler and our government on both sides continue to hide behind the ‘antisemitic’ rhetoric for fear of offending some powerful Jewish, presumably financial, lobby group, all with the assistance of a largely deafeningly silent media for fear of being branded ‘antisemitic’.
This morally bankrupt government does have a two-way arms deal with Israel, as well as an early 2024 $917 million contract with Elbit Systems Australia (an Israeli weapons manufacturer) as any basic research will reveal and continues to support Israeli and US nuclear arms proliferation.
Calling out the genocide of tens of thousands of civilians (predominantly woman and children) and recently more than 1,500 health workers as well as the countless injured is not antisemitism, it’s humanitarian and anti-genocide.
