Albanese Finds Out Appeasement Doesn’t Always Equal Popular

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is one of the worst offenders from the Dhimmi School of Dunces, currently genuflecting their way through governing their respective countries.

There have long been questions about the Australian Prime Minister’s commitment to equal respect and protection for all citizens under his care.

When Syria is burning, and one mass murderer is replaced by an even worse one, who has time to deal with a synagogue in Melbourne that was set on fire with its worshippers inside by masked individuals? Even the local Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who was forced to make a sleepy visit to the site, hurried afterward to put on his tennis shoes and rush to the tennis club for a game that, to be fair, was scheduled in advance. Those who expected Albanese to take responsibility for what’s happening in his country or provide practical answers to concerns were disappointed to discover that Albanese, or whoever chooses his clichés, decided to go with a high-school level message as if in a debate on “Anti-Semitism – For or Against,” saying: “This is shocking. We have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism.” After this anemic response drew protests from both the Israeli government and the local Jewish community, the Australian government responded with another statement saying the country funds “protection for Jews.” As if they were pandas.

Only those familiar with the details can understand how anti-Semitic this response is, signaling that something very bad hovers over the Jewish community in Australia, which numbers 116,000 people. For we have already learned: where books are burned and leaders go to play tennis – people will also be burned.

Albanese is a veteran anti-Semite, who can be found in local television archives from the past participating in anti-Semitic demonstrations (or in their disingenuous name – “pro-Palestinian”), shouting slogans into a megaphone while Israeli and American flags burn around him. It’s no wonder that in the past year, under his leadership, anti-Semitism is raging throughout Australia without any firm response from the government.

In fact, the Australian government is leading and generating anti-Semitism in the country. Its foreign policy is similar to countries like Ireland, Turkey, and Spain, taking extreme positions against Israel. For example, recently it supported the UN resolution for “ending Israel’s illegal presence in occupied Palestinian territory.” Because the anti-Semite is only interested in international law when it comes to Jews. From his perspective, our people – who were illegally exiled from their land, illegally expelled from country to country, illegally murdered and persecuted, and are still attacked time after time illegally – should sit politely and legally, quietly waiting for their destruction. And not only that, but also hear moral lectures from the country that symbolizes white colonialism more than any other.

On the 14th of this past December, two Islamic madmen with ISIS affiliation opened up on Jewish folks celebrating Hanukkah at a huge festival on Bondi Beach in Sydney. 

The attackers were a father-son duo; related perpetrators are a common dynamic in modern terrorism. Several previous high-profile terrorist incidents, including the Boston Marathon bombing, the Charlie Hebdo attack, and the San Bernardino shootings, were carried out by siblings or spouses. Parent-child attacks are less common, but not unheard of. Family members not only reinforce radical beliefs due to their closeness, proximity and levels of trust, but radicalisation accelerates as close family members live in a hothouse of extremism. 

Mobilisation happens quicker and with greater operational secrecy and security, evading law enforcement’s ability to disrupt plots. Even though the surviving gunman in the Bondi attack was on law enforcement’s radar for connection to a Sydney-based Islamic State terrorist cell in 2019, there was no concerned bystander to intervene or report.

The Islamic State and violent jihadist ideology continue to motivate deadly violence. Early reports say that police found two Islamic State flags in the attackers’ car and footage shows one flag on the hood of the car.

Eventually, sixteen people would be dead and many more wounded before the horror’s body count was over.

While Australian police stood frozen for whatever inexplicable and unforgivable reasons, a local Syrian-Australian shopowner, Ahmed al Ahmed, courageously snuck up on, tackled, and disarmed one of the murderers, saving God knows how many more lives before being shot himself.

To Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, the source of the carnage was as clear as day, as our own Mitch Berg explained:

…In related news, hours after a couple of Islamic extremists murdered fifteen people at a Hanukkah celebration at Sydney’s Bondi Beach, Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese sprang into action, going after the real culprits.  

A hint: It didn’t include the local ISIS terror cell.

Speaking after the Bondi Beach Massacre, Australian PM Anthony Albanese says that antisemitism and “the far right” are true threats.

Check the date on that interview again – it’s not even 24 hours after the horror at the beach, and the man cannot say ‘Islamic terror,’ or ‘ISIS’ or ‘jihad’ even though every last one of those had been directly connected to the savages who perpetrated this mass murder the day before.

His countrymen noticed his craven cowardice.

And six days later, when Albanese had the temerity to show his face at a memorial vigil where tens of thousands of Australians, Jews and Gentiles alike, had gathered at the tragic scene, there was no doubt what the crowd’s opinion was. 

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed by an angry crowd gathered at the famous Bondi beach on Sunday to honour the victims of a gun attack a week earlier that targeted a seaside Jewish Hanukkah festival event.

The nation marked a day of reflection on Sunday to honour the 15 people killed and the dozens wounded in the attack by two gunmen. With security tight and flags at half-staff on government buildings, a minute of silence was held at 6:47 p.m. (0747 GMT), the time the attack began.

…Tens of thousands, including Albanese and other leaders, attended the memorial that was guarded by a heavy police presence, including snipers on rooftops and police boats in the waters.

Albanese was booed by the crowd on arrival, and later when the speaker mentioned his name during the memorial. He sat on the front row wearing a kippah, the traditional Jewish cap.

Albanese, under pressure from critics who say his centre-left government has not done enough to curb a surge in antisemitism since the start of the war in Gaza, was not scheduled to speak at the event.

And with whom they believed their Prime Minister’s sympathies really lay.

A few days ago, I had a post on the Australian submarine crewmen who were on board the USS Charlotte as she torpedoed an Iranian frigate in the Indian Ocean. They were on the boat, but not at their posts, having been directed to sit on their bunks during the action by the raise-a-hand-against-a-Muslim-country-risk-averse Albanese. Especially if the foreign powers engaged in such an action are working with the Jews.

Can’t have that – might upset his Muslim voting blocs at home. They seem to be so well-behaved as it is. One doesn’t want them mad.

So what has all this bowing and kowtowing to Muslim sensibilities bought Albanese besides the opprobrium of rational and decent Australians?

You’d think the Muslim community, and its more vocal components, would be thrilled to have such an accommodating head of state for their less savory instincts and acts.

But that’s not how the takeover works, at least in Australia.

Albanese and one of his ministers went to the largest mosque in the country last Friday to join their Eid prayers for one of those folksy photo-ops that smarmy politicians often do, and they were rather rudely treated.

Well…huh.

The Australian prime minister was booed by protesters during a visit to the country’s largest mosque.

Anthony ‌Albanese and Australia’s Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke joined worshippers at Lakemba Mosque in Sydney for Eid prayers on Friday.

Video of the event showed several protesters making lengthy interruptions, including telling them to “get out!” and calling them “genocide supporters”.

Albanese was not feeling the love. What does a guy have to do?

From the various videos I’ve seen, the hooting and catcalls – and spitting (!) – were a bit more vociferous and agitated than just some booing.

Classic example: Feeding the alligator hoping it wont eat you last.

I like the analogy with the alligator. It’s perfect. Here’s a quivering mass of carbon who has bent over backward to grovel to the demands of this community and endangered the lives of everyone else in Australia at the same time, and what does he get for it from them?

Aw, you hate to see it, no? Actually, no.

These gentle pilgrims weren’t content to register their disapproval of the Prime Minister inside – they took it outdoors as well.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE! HE’S A DIRTY DOG AND A PIG

Holy shit, Islamist extremists tried to lynch the Australian Prime Minister this morning at Lakemba Mosque. pic.twitter.com/ubmhsyFYlj

Why are these people always so mad? 

They are perpetually angry and wanting to hurt things.

Feeding alligators, or crocodiles, as the old proverb goes, can be very dangerous. Our mother used to sing a little ditty about that very thing when we were little.

Never smile 

At a crocodile

Or you may spend a while

In the crocodile.

Albanese seems to have lost his grin momentarily.

I have little hope he’ll smarten up.
