" Yet it is we who are cowed into silence, not the friends of Hamas."
Does Blair Cottrell and Rebecca Weisser seem cowed into silence. One is also an ant Semite yet both seem to stand together on Islam. A neo -Nazi and the right wing opinionator of the Australian who happens to be Jewish. She has taken over Nick Cater's, her partner's, position at the Australian. he is now director of the conservative think tank The Menzies' Research Center. One can only imagine their bedtime conversations and quiver.
"The list of right-wing claquers mindlessly cheering on Nick Cater’s The Lucky Culture continues to grow. Actually, for many of them, it’s not entirely mindless, as Cater edits the opinion pages of The Australian
newspaper and bollocking the boss’s book is probably not the best
career-move one can make at News Ltd. So the applause continues to
reverberate from Janet Albrechtsen, Chris Kenny, Chris Pearson,
Christian Kerr, James Jeffrey, Nick Leys, Jack Hoysted and, of course,
from Cater himself (given that he and his partner Rebecca Weisser write
the Cut and Paste section, which has joined the conga-line). Elsewhere
in the extended Murdoch empire, Piers Akerman, Miranda Devine, Andrew
Bolt and Peter Coleman have cheered on their champion. What was that
about group think?" Mark Latham
Saudi Arabia "our foremost allies" in the Middle East finance the construction of Salafism throughout the world and donate funds for the every purpose of local communities to promote Islam throughout the world all in the name of charity. They finance most terrorist organizations. They are and always were like the Bin Ladens personal friends of George Bush. They were in the USA as his guests around 9/11. The Saudi's are also the USA's largest buyer of arms. We recently asked where the brand new fleet of Toyotas acquired by ISIL came from apart from all the new shiny US weapons they seem to have. In today's intelligence world to say they don't know where they got them beggars belief.
The Catholic Church does the same it assists in the building of churches and hospitals wherever they believe they are needed. The Pope recently declared Climate Change the most fundamental problem the world is facing. Does that mean governments needs to cut ties to it's representatives and put the Pope on a banned list? Or is Bolt telling ASIO and our Security forces they are hopeless even though Tony Abbott gave them $600 mill to keep us safe. Or is Andrew Bolt better situated to do the job because he gets his information through Mossad and News Corp. Israeli fact and not propaganda.
Al-Awlaki was an American citizen who was illegally assassinated by drone attack for doing what Bolt claims to be doing "speaking up"He was an American engineer an academic and Phd. Who used the internet to speak against American interests in the Middle East His 15 year old son and teenage cousins were also assassinated while picnicking in a Saana park they were also Americans. That was also an illegal attack later claimed to be a mistake.“The Drone Papers” Reveals How Faulty Intel & Secret “Kill Chain” Mark Suspects, Civilians for Death
The Pope did that in Latin America he preached revolutionary theology should he have been drone attacked for speaking against US interests? Bolt's whose who of listed people here are those he feels the security forces of the Western world have overlooked. It stretches the imagination to believe Bolt is better advised than the world's security forces.
However it seems Bolt only believes in Mossad Israeli intelligence. The organization whose own members are turning their backs on it for it's unethical practices framing people for extortion, blackmail to spy for them, the kidnapping and assassination of it's own citizens at home and in other countries. Mossad of course doesn't disseminate Israeli information for propaganda purposes. The problem is the disparagement of genuine organizations no longer carries the weight it once did particularly by the likes of Andrew Bolt who has been publicly declared in the Australian courts as a poor journalist whose often loose with his facts.
" HAI Australia runs an emergency appeal to provide funds for fuel for
hospitals in Gaza. Most hospitals in Gaza are run by Hamas. During the
conflict between Hamas and Israel last year, The Washington Post
reported that Hamas had its headquarters in the Al-Shifra hospital...."
The Washinton Post and Fox News are Murdoch organizations and of course very pro Republican and Israel. Would you expect the truth to be printed broadcast by such an upstanding media that are constantly found to be doing the opposite with everything else?
Blockade of Gaza alone has created the greatest unemployment in the world 45% and even greater among the youth. 1.8 million people
Obviously
if Malvern was blockaded and bombed any retaliation by them would be condemned.
Bolts defense there are less bad things being done to Malvern than
there was last week so everything is ok now???? Or There has been an
increase in stone throwing this week so it's ok now??? No Mr Bolt there has
been an increase in the repression of 17.5% Israeli citizens who even
you seem to claim have no rights. Add the Christians to this number and you have 25% of a population who pay tax to support the Frum on social welfare and the settlers in occupied lands that keep growing illegally. You just might begin to glimpse some truth other than the right of defense.
Israel must face the reality of the situation it has created: It is a
ruthless occupier suppressing a population of millions.Most of the
world has turned a blind eye to what has been unfolding on
the ground in the occupied territories, including East Jerusalem. These
developments include ever-increasing house demolitions, arrests and
imprisonment (especially of minors), expropriation of Palestinian land,
Israeli settlement building and expansion and construction of an
exclusive road network for Israeli settlers, construction of hundreds of
miles of a separation barrier, curfews and collective punishment, the
closure of Jerusalem and its holy sites to Palestinians, and outright
murder of Palestinian civilians by both military forces and armed
settlers.
The killing of innocents and civilians is never justified, by any
side. Violent acts have recently been committed by both sides — by
individual Israelis and Palestinians. It is not fair, however, to paint
all Palestinians with the brush of terrorism. To reduce all Palestinian
acts of defiance against the occupation simply to acts of violence or
terrorism serves to strip the people of their human right to live with
dignity and freedom. It also eliminates consideration of the historical
and political context in which they live. Labeling Palestinians as
terrorists allows Israel to abdicate its responsibility as an occupying
power and to obscure criticism from the international community that it
is acting like a colonial settler state. It also severely dehumanizes
the Palestinian people.
Moreover, even Palestinian nonviolent resistance is targeted
regularly by the Israeli military. Peaceful demonstrations are
frequently met with brute force, thus escalating the confrontation. Acts
of civil resistance, such as hunger strikes, are not tolerated; many
Palestinian hunger strikers in Israeli jails often face torture,
solitary confinement, and various forms of intimidation. A number of
prisoners are held indefinitely and without trial by administrative
detention — an anachronistic relic of British colonial rule. This practice is applied almost exclusively on Palestinians, and even on lawmakers such as Khalida Jarrar, who has been incarcerated without charges since April 2015. Indeed, as of June of 2015, there were 12 Palestinian parliament members in Israeli jails, held under administrative detention.

The last blog about the "invasion" Bolt spoke off 1.5
million before December he may well have said 2mill but even for conservatives and neo
Nazis that prediction would have been a labelled an exaggeration to produce fear. Germany has never
denied the short term problem of processing and is still ready to take
800,000 less than 1% of it's pop.
Bolt the Dutchman who in his anti-
multiculturalism, anti the immigration of 200,000 we currently have to Australia and anti-
just about anything other than strict and monitored isolation of this country in an
increasingly globalized world works his vibe of fear to run his
apartheid argument that political resentment comes if immigrants are too different to him. Abbott was the same it's why he brought back knighthoods and symbols of Britain to remind us....boy was he bagged and surprised.
Bolt points to stabbing which occurred in Germany in a country of 80 mill.
He may as well have supported Anders Beivk who killed 77 and injured 209 in Norway
The extreme right wing do exist and existed before this influx of refugees. They called themselves Democratic Socialist Party in the 30s
“said he had a racist motivation for committing this act”, Cologne
police official Norbert Wagner added at a news conference. Reker was
said to be in a stable
" police said was a “racist political” attack linked to the large numbers of migrants entering the country."
The mans religion is notably ignored
however we guess he wasn't Muslim or else Bolt wouldn't be using him in this example. The last thing Bolt wants to
put out is any vibe of humanitarian success in the EU. Places like Iceland and Shepparton are off his radar as is Coburg unless
of course a Muslim puts a foot wrong. Only Bendigo gets attention it's Bolt's true measure of the mood of Australia. It's he supports Neo
Nazi movements like the UDL who demonstrate, travel, disrupt
and encourage violence no matter the place or the facts. Facts for Bolt don't produce the
desired fear and resentment Bolt needs.The opposite "vibe" he ridicules Russell Brand for.3 Damning Ways European Leaders Have Tried To Curb Sympathy For Migrants

Ever since Tony Abbott came to power
and Joe Hockey revealed his secret plan to fix the deficit disaster the 'main
game' has been of secondary importance. Ever since Tony Abbott declared
the deficit disaster 'fixed' immediately after the hostile reception to his austerity
budget the main game has been out of the LNP and media focus. News Corp has
certainly avoided the economy except for one strategic aspect and that's the
Royal Commission and the investigation into the unions. The game became
politics of secondary issues given primary attention over and above
the economy as a whole and the ever growing deficit disaster. This government has doubled the deficit and has closed industries while watching the country slide into recession. Abbott simply denied there was an issue and only putting forward piecemeal plans for the economy.
The real action of Abbott's amounted
to the boats that dramatically stopped under Rudd three months before by the reintroduction of offshore processing and Malaysia as a third
party resettlement solution. It was rejected by Abbott only to be adopted
by him in the form of Manus & Nauru and Cambodia which resettled 4
refugees at the cost of $51 mill one of whom opted to go home to
possible death and torture. Do the math and call it success. Abbott has
made Australia the poster boy of the neo- Nazis of the world.
Climate Change has given us the
equivalent reputation of laggards and lack of respect globally as has our Asylum
seeker programs which allow illegals to fly and stay in Australia while
punishing the most desperate who have come by boat. Indonesia reduced trade and why would others eagerly want to to business with us?
The main game was lost when Abbott
came to power as an opposition government that focused on the game of
adversarial politics rather than the politics of solving the nations problems.
Lateral thinking was in fact lost when Abbott became the leader of the
opposition.

" By “violent extremism”, Andrews actually means Islamist terrorism, but he is too polite to be so explicit."Bolt
Bolt feels free to put words in the
mouths others when and where ever he wants. It's what inquisitors,
interrogators and secret police were famous for when wanting to "get at
the truth" putting their words into the mouths of others and declaring
them to be the truth. Dan is right it does exist and has existed for any number of reasons, Julian Knight, Ned Kelly or Melbourne's drug war are examples.
Bolt's Homer Simpson claim that
violent terrorism wasn't part of Japan's culture history is rubbish. Has
he ever watched Japanese historical movies? Of course there is no Muslim violence
when and where there are no Muslims it's a tautology not an argument. There is no Muslim anything where there are none . There isn't any in Mexico or Nth Korea
either. However to say there'd be no Muslim violence if there were no Muslims in the
Middle East is rubbish there'd still be violence because what is going on is primarily political..
To rid the Middle East of Muslims and
Islam would not rid the Middle East of war or terror as the history and reality of
political repression in the region would remain. Assad killed people against his government not because they were Sunni. It's why the solution
can only be found in the politics of the region not it's religion.
In the main violent extremism is
political and not faith based. Tony Abbott took us to the Middle East
and with it brought the politics here in the form of resentment. In the main 120
Australians left the country for the region not all to fight and not
all were Muslim by birth. They didn't turn on Australia they went to help for various reasons least of all religious.
Non Muslim Australians,
French, Americans etc commit far more extreme violent acts out of
resentment than Muslims do or ever have done here. We pray as Christians for success and bomb the crap out of Muslims internationally. God has nothing to do with it military power and hardware do. But it doesn't mean we can win. We have been losers more often than not and we in fact celebrate our losses as if they were wins that's religious because it sure as hell wasn't the fact.
The US
has a military presance in 134 ++ countries not all Muslim why religion no politics? Dan
Andrews is right. Bolt on the other hand is simply an Ultra Racist hiding behind religious
hatred who lays the seed of resentment in the hope of saying "I told you
so" to a regressive political hold. It's not "free speech" but the freedom of hatred in a civil
society and he seems to be losing.
