Bondi memorials become flashpoint for Israel-Palestine politics

The Israeli flag displayed at the Bondi massacre memorials reveals deep political fault lines over Zionism, antisemitism and the exploitation of people’s suffering, writes Dr Evan Jones.

People and flower monuments at BONDI BEACH December 14 murders It was decorated with Israeli flags.

For example, there is the Leader of the Opposition here. Susan Ley (registered on instagram) hugging a woman so loosely dressed. Hoping to make political headway?

No one openly acknowledged this phenomenon and anomaly; especially in the media. Photos that do not lie need to be interpreted selectively.

A photo and caption are of particular interest. ABC site, February 2:

What about the other flag, unnamed? Is this an unrecognized human form of brood parasitism (the best known of which is the cuckoo)? Is this how the parasite (the barbarian state of Israel) receives the necessary support from its host (“diaspora”)?

Not many people. At work Michelle BerkonHe arrived in Bondi and was hassled by the police. His crime?

In his words, upon a question asked by a reporter, “Why did you come here wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh? Are you trying to antagonize the Jewish community?”:

“I came here today because I am Jewish. Because my family was killed in the Holocaust. Because I have community members who were killed. I am threatened with arrest for speaking to the press. If there was no Israeli flag here, we would not wear the keffiyeh. Because this society has politicized this tragedy…”

Quite a few. The presence of Israeli flags on monuments is a disgrace, an insult to those who died and to the meaning of the event.

Same thing as Michelle Berkon Pearls and Irritations and for Green Left. Cesur Berkon deserves to be featured in the mainstream media. Why doesn’t he have it?

Israeli Prime Minister who committed mass murder right after the massacre Benjamin Netanyahu blamed the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (He had previously condemned the Albanians for recognizing the Palestinian state), this time they became complicit in the murders by not eliminating the increasing antisemitism in Australia.

Netanyahu’s attack It was personal:

“I call on you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with determination. Instead, Prime Minister, you have replaced weakness with weakness, appeasement with more appeasement.”

Israeli Ambassador reinforced Netanyahu’s criticism of Albanese and his government. Diplomacy, in my opinion, no. Albanese should have expelled the Ambassador a long time ago.

Just before Christmas, Zionist Federation of Australia he takes it upon himself to invite President of Israel, Isaac HerzogTo Australia. Strangely, under intense pressure, Albanese agrees to make the invitation official ‘In accordance with protocol’. So a private organization dedicated to a foreign rogue power invites this head of state to Australia, and the arrogance is clearly visible. ‘In accordance with protocol’.

ZFA defines the Australia-Israel relationship as follows: ‘Based on common democratic values’. Same old circle. Israel is not a democracy, it is an ethnocracy; It was strategically built this way. How could the well-educated ZFA leadership so misunderstand Israel’s fundamentals? How dare they brazenly imitate when their intended readership knows otherwise?

ZFA’s incomprehensible supporting statements inconsistently and absurdly conflate the sanctity of Israel with the security of global Judaism. ZFA conveniently ignores that behind all the insecurity experienced by global Jews lies the sanctified genocidal Israel.

A recommendation from the Israeli Minister of Diaspora Affairs before Herzog’s anticipated visit probably gave him the idea. carte blanche Interfering in the politics of other countries. Amichai Chikli He went to Bondi a few days after the attack.

Later Chikli wrote To the Minister of Internal Affairs Tony Burke Offering “experienced” help:

We have extensive experience in combating radical Islamic terrorism and antisemitism, threats that are unfortunately becoming increasingly common, overt and dangerous, not only in Australia but around the world.

Accordingly, we welcome the opportunity to host and train senior Australian police officers and security personnel in Israel, sharing our expertise and best practices in combating terrorism and antisemitism.

Chikli omits to mention that Israel is well acquainted with radical Islamic terrorism because Israel has nurtured radical Islamic terrorism for years (along with Western and Turkish forces) in an effort to mutually destroy it. Bashar AssadSyria. The virulent deep racism long cultivated by Israeli security forces is the mentality we need to confront those hateful Sunday marchers and the occasional anonymous graffiti writer Down Under. ‘To hell with Israel’ (bombing them into oblivion or torturing them in high security prisons?).

Only Chikli did not fly. ZAKA set. So what is ZAKA? “Post-disaster response teams” consisting mostly of Orthodox Jewish volunteers operate.

A Murdoch exit informs us HE:

Dozens of officials were sent by ZAKA, Israel’s volunteer emergency response and disaster victim rescue organization, including experts with experience responding to terrorist attacks in Israel and abroad.

[Says ZAKA’s U.S.-based director:] “When Jews are attacked for what they are, we show up not only to help honorably rescue the martyrs, but to send a clear message of unity, responsibility and care for each other wherever we are.”

It is remarkable that someone decided that the local large Jewish community was not capable of dealing with the crisis ( Hatzolahnumerous Rabbis offer spiritual solace) and they bury their dead with dignity.

ZAKA competes around the world, fueled by human disaster. One thing he doesn’t do is address Palestinian victims of Israel’s ethnic cleansing. ZAKA personnel were revealed to have made up stories about Hamas’ oppression 7 OctoberPossibly to increase the reputation of the organization.

More importantly, ZAKA’s overall reputation according to the anti-Zionist website mondoweisDefinitely doubtful.

This December 2023:

‘For those familiar with the organisation, this is consistent with ZAKA’s dubious reputation. The organization has a troubled and troubled history, which has further weakened its legitimacy and credibility due to its involvement in mass protests. cases of sexual violence And silence the victims with financial corruption And exploitation of tragic deaths to improve its media appearance and expand its financial resources.’

Just what Sydney’s Jewish community needs to deal with its trauma.

The arrogance of it all defies belief.

In short, the center of gravity of Australian Jews is the Zionist-occupied lands. The mainstream media is completely complicit. The political class is either complicit or horrified. While the usual suspects come forward, organizations and people from all walks of life are jumping on the bandwagon for a completely diversionary royal commission centered on antisemitism. Israel is nowhere to be seen. A big farce is being prepared.

The anti-Zionist Jews given as an example by Michelle Berkon are the most important basis. Can some sanity prevail amidst this madness?

This story has an important moral. Zionists take no prisoners. Give it an inch and you’re gone.

Albo, be careful.
