Disgraceful Greens
That their motion did not mention Hamas or call for the release of the hostages speaks volumes.
Whether intentionally or as a result of wilful ignorance, the Greens chose Tisha b’Av to move their doomed motion calling for sanctions against Israel.
As we mourned the destruction of the Temples in Jerusalem and the end of the previous two incarnations of Jewish sovereignty in our ancestral homeland, this radical rabble of hypocrisy moved to punish the third as it fights to defend itself, in an existential war it did not start, against a genocidal terrorist organisation that worships death and destruction.
We suppose we shouldn’t be surprised. The Greens could not bring themselves to unconditionally condemn the horrors of October 7 and have been attacking Israel and siding with antisemites ever since.
That their motion did not mention Hamas or call for the release of the hostages speaks volumes.
Adding to the Greens’ shame is the party’s foreign affairs spokesperson Jordon Steele-John demanding that Israeli ambassador Amir Maimon be expelled from Australia. We didn’t hear so much as a peep from Steele-John last week when Iran’s ambassador Ahmad Sadeghi expressed his hope that Israel would be wiped out by 2027.
Coming just a month after the party lent office space to an activist group that called Israel “a settler-colonial abomination that has no right to exist”, it is merely further proof that this so-called progressive party are in fact a band of vile extremists that have made common cause with murderers and rapists. They have rightly been condemned by representatives from across the political spectrum.
But the thing about Tisha b’Av is we have survived to mourn the disasters that we mark on that day.
The Jews saw off the Babylonians, we saw off the Romans. Israel will see off Hamas, Hezbollah and their Iranian puppeteers, and the Australian Jewish community will see off the Greens.
Some time in the next seven months there will be a federal election. It is therefore all the more urgent that Australians understand that the Greens are not the environmentally-minded, human rights-focused and empathetic party they pretend to be.
They are an extreme, divisive force hell-bent on tearing Australia’s social fabric apart and they must be exposed as such to every Australian voter.
