Let's be clear Andrew Bolt supports Israel. His family origin is Aalsmeer Netherlands famous for it's flower market and it's support of Hitler in WW2. We know the individual laws of Karma connect the past present and future and it's in that context Andrew Bolt is best understood.
His socialization is his connection to the past and we know Bolt ultra enthusiastic about Dutch flowers and his Aalsmeer roots even though he wasn't born there. We don't know however his family's political affiliations or past as Bolt doesn't really speak about them. However given Aalsmeer the town they came from was small and it's inhabitants freely voted for a mayor and council that left behind a history of support for Hitler and Nazism there is no reason to believe that same belief of Nazi style superiority and the Calvinist notion of being elect did not rub off on a young Andrew Bolt. He may well have been born Australian yet freely admits he didn't feel Australian until after he was married in his mid 30s. In other words he shared space of small Aussie country towns but not their culture. He remained removed, aloof , elect and special no part of his social environment.
His aspirations today and for the future, his values indicate just that. His insistence on manners when all is said and done is a disguise to enable him to broadcast uncivil ideas in much the same way politicians in the current right wing Israeli government have no trouble doing. Nor do their leaders of their religious institutions seem to do. Politeness and uniformed neatness was a Nazi disguise pre WW2 as well. In the words of the Israeli Deputy Defense Minister and some Rabbi's the extermination of Palestinians like rats is fine. However even worse is the silence of the broader population who like Bolt say nothing. Their silence like the silence of his forbears during WW2 lends support for a future whose logic dictates and accepts genocide, the colonial illegal take over of Arab lands and property. Silence was the wind in the sails of Nazi atrocities as it is for Israeli ones today and it's that silence which Bolt is guilty of and has carried forward from his ancestral past. I'm not saying I'm right however reading what Bolt doesn't say suggests otherwise it's what Bolt doesn't say carries a certain weight.
Eli Ben Dahan believes Israeli soldiers should be allowed to kill
Palestinians before, during, or after military operations. Israel’s
Deputy Defense Minister Eli Ben Dahan is reportedly working on
submitting a bill proposal that will grant soldiers a license to kill,
according to a Channel 2 news report that aired Saturday evening.
[tmwinpost] The bill will allow security forces to “enjoy immunity from
actions they carried out or refrained from carrying out, and all before,
after, and during an operational activity or terrorist attack that was
not part of the day-to-day operational activities of the unit in which
he/she works…
In November Andrew Bolt hated Donald Trump and seemed to not follow the Fox News line. In December he did a 180 degree turn around and began following the Newscorp line and started promoting Trump. Trump thinks Putin is ok Bolt can't abide the man. Trump could pardon Julian Assange and he thinks he's great and on the ball. Bolt can't abide the man. Isn't there a pattern of of hypocrisy revealing itself here. Bolt and Abbott appear to be facing a year of chaos and confusion more so than ever before.
In a bizarre coda to a surreal election, Trump and Assange join forces to show us how badly democracy is broken
