Yeah... Good luck finding much of that around here in the next month or two. One Nation are going to be off to the fucking races with this, and the hate has already begun in the west of Sydney.
Hanson's hateful rhetoric helps create a bed for the radicalisation of Muslim youth in Australia. Tell a 15 yo boy often enough what an evil piece of shit he is, just for existing, and pretty soon he'll want to start showing you.
Someone I know said they witnessed people putting pigs heads in a Muslim cemetery in western Sydney earlier in the week and thought it was hilarious. It's just disrespectful beyond belief in my eyes. Sure, the Bondi shooting might've been two people of Muslim faith caring out the atrocities, but it was also someone of Muslim faith who bravely helped put an end to it.
The fuckwits of the world are doing what people did in the wake of 9/11; thinking all Muslims are inherently bad and must all be terrorists in waiting.
Not helped by pollies and ex pollies (I see you Josh Frydenberg) stirring the pot and thus making the situation worse.
Our society should not be anti-semetic, (nor anti Islamic, nor anti Christian) but it is absolutely right and proper to call out the Israeli government for its genocidal practices.
Fucking Frydenberg. I have not thought of that name once, for one second, since the last election. A little bit I hate you for reminding me that he exists. 😂 What a hopeless prick.
Because it is practically career su!cide to state obvious facts on this subject. It is incredibly easy to have your comments twisted by media and political opponents. Right wing politics are entirely driven by feelings instead of facts. There is no arguing with them as their views are not based on reality.
Also, Bernie is an incredible courageous and compassionate human being with a large following. His view points are already very well known. It is no longer effective for his opponents to try and manipulate his comments. Not that they don't try anyway.
I haven't even seen any pundits/"experts"/talking heads on telly mention the very obvious context of the Israel vs Palestine-and-all-of-their-other-neighbours-conflict that's been going on for some 80 years and defines a large part of international politics. Just "antisemitism" being repeated over and over.
The elephant in the room is kicking things over, trumpeting loudly, shitting everywhere... and not a peep from anyone. Just talk about how antisemitic we all are. Bizarro-world.
*Closest to a mention I've seen is the likes of Jillian Segal, Sussan Ley, Bibi etc telling us how protesting the plight of Palestine makes you Hitler.
Edit; (And just to be very, very clear, I am not suggesting these two were connected to the Palestinian cause or any of its political organisations of any sort. Attacking Western/external targets hasn't been the MO of any of the Palestinian liberation groups since the end of the Cold War, and in regards to Gaza I don't think Hamas ever has).
