Jew-Loathing in the Lucky Country

The intrepid Australian pro-Israel activist and blogger Shirlee Finn has written a first-hand account of an anti-Israel rally in downtown Sydney on the weekend, an account which makes no concessions to political correctness.

What she describes doesn't sound half as horrific as this truly worrisome account of Jew-hatred in Paris. No seething mob of hate-filled Islamists bent on violence and rampage broke away from the main event as happened in the capital of what might nowadays be loosely called France.

But what occurred in Sydney does suggest that, as in London and other "cosmopolitan" cities around the world, Jew-hatred is being fuelled by certain types of immigrants abetted by mainly leftist fanatics, and in a land where antisemitism has always been, comparatively speaking, historically low (not least because Jews have been in this land since the first day of European settlement and because Sir John Monash, the great citizen-soldier who led our forces in the First World War, was a Jew) this is a disturbing development.

'I decided, against my better judgement and curiosity, to attend a pro-Gaza rally in the city on Sunday 13th July with a friend', begins Shirlee,'but let’s forget that for the moment.
Antisemitic that is.
When I arrived at Sydney Town Hall I was quite taken aback by the numbers of people there. Here I was in a sea of Arabs, keffiyehs, hijabs, niqabs, hamas headbands, Palestinian flags, Greens’ banners, black “flags of Jihad” and  good number of Hezbollah flag , which was surprising seeing as this was supposed to be about Gaza

And on the west coast of Australia:


  1. My friend "Skipping Girl" in Perth was there.
    I think she has a death wish. She went with an Israeli flag.
    She said she had to run for her life when they went to attack her. She sais there were about 350 people. She is going to the Melbourne one this week

    1. How awful! I hope she knows all the escape routes.

  2. For better or worse this sort of thing tends to be self correcting in the long run. Eventually they all revert back to the Dark Ages where literacy and science, reason, medicine, law, tolerance are all thrown away and some fat pasha on a throne of skulls gets to rule with an iron fist replete with atrocities, rape and cannibalism. We'll see a return of the good old days of Muhammed with slavery, oppression, fantastically high child death rates, disease, famine and dynastic feudalism. A great returning to a pre modern age that the radical greens have pined for. Meanwhile we'll be over here standing point on the parapets waiting for the barbarians and operating kosher delis on the moon.
