After my column in AMUST last month, it received a review in the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council’s media by Dr Ran Porat.
He argued that AMUST was contributing to radicalisation and extremism by publishing such material as mine.
I had argued that criticism of Israel is being stifled by the way accusations of anti-Semitism are used as a tool. I cited the ‘Caravan of Terror’ at Dural as a good example.
There’s been an inquiry since. NSW Premier Minns refused to appear before the NSW Legislative Council inquiry and forbade five staffers who were also called from testifying.
AFP Deputy Commissioner Barrett stated that experienced counter-terror investigators immediately concluded the caravan was a “fabricated terrorist plot,” a con job to manipulate public fear about “anti-Semitism”.
There was never any intent to carry out an attack, but to create the illusion of a terror threat. The PM, Tony Burke, and the NSW state government were all informed, but none of them said anything until after anti-protest laws had been passed.
NSW Premier Minns lied when he described a “mass casualty event” and said, “It’s terrorism.” The Zionist spokesperson, Alex Ryvchin, went on the road to tell Australians this was “the greatest terrorist threat this country had ever seen, a threat to all Australians.”
Minns, his chief of staff and two deputies could face arrest for refusing to testify, as summonses may be issued and relevant legislation allows for such enforcement.
Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern political Zionism, was a journalist and highly skilled in shaping public opinion; he called Zionist public relations “propaganda.” It’s now known as “hasbara.”
I won’t call it lying, and land myself in court. Let’s just say that hasbara can sometimes involve selective presentation of facts, omission of inconvenient information, or framing issues in a way that can cross into misinformation or deception.
In Gaza, we see how one simple lie, “40 beheaded babies,” is killing a million children, now in the final days of being starved to death.
A lie brought counterterrorism police breaking down my door in the middle of Ramadan. The CEO of ECAJ had twisted my words in one tweet and called it a bomb threat. Not one other person, including police, agreed with him.
You’d expect more from our government and media. But if anyone is “contributing to radicalisation and extremism,” the one finger pointing at me has three pointing back.
Estimates from advocacy groups and media reports suggest that up to 1,000 Australians are serving in an alleged genocide.
Last year, the Taxation Commissioner was asked to clarify claims that the Jewish National Fund Australia, along with another charity (Christians for Israel Foundation), had “solicited and funnelled donations to support illegal settlement activities” in the occupied West Bank.
In Melbourne, a recruiting company is hiring Australians to work with the Gaza Humanitarian Fund, which lures the starving to points where Israeli tanks gun them down.
The Dural Caravan inquiry is pointing to a massive conspiracy by the federal and state governments, police and Zionists to fool the entire country and take control of the narrative.
