Stopping antisemitic domestic terrorism starts with backing Israel

Family First Party 2 mins read

The best way to stop the escalating pro-Hamas Islamist terrorist attacks on Australia’s Jewish community is for the Albanese Government to apologise for its anti-Israel stance and urgently change tack.

 

Family First National Director and New South Wales lead Senate candidate Lyle Shelton said the Government needed to turn around its position and begin to lead the nation in unequivocal support for the survival of the only democracy in the Middle East.

 

He also called for the suspects of bombings on Jewish property to be treated as terrorists under the law so their rights to legal representation could be restricted if authorities deemed it necessary.

 

“The Albanese Government has bought into the lie that Israel’s war against Hamas is unjust when the nation has no alternative to defend itself from those who only want a one-state solution and to kill Jews ‘from the river to the sea’,” Mr Shelton said.

 

“Israel was attacked on October 7 by a barbaric Islamic death cult that is not only anti-Israel but anti-Western civilisation.

 

“The Albanese Government needs to realise that Israel is fighting a war on behalf of all of us and that it is in Australia’s interest to back Israel.

 

“Proof of this is the firebombing of a Jewish Synagogue in Melbourne, the home of a Jewish leader in Sydney, and now a Jewish childcare centre in Sydney.

 

“These horrific bombings and the continued attacks on Jewish businesses has Australia in the grip of its own Krystal Nacht, egged on by the Government’s anti-Israel stance.

 

“If anyone thinks these acts of home-grown Islamist terrorism will stop with attacks on Australian Jews, they are kidding themselves.

 

“Stopping Hamas supporters in Australia starts with helping Israel stop Hamas in Gaza, not by constantly undermining Israel’s prosecution of what is a terrible but just war.

 

“Anyone in western Sydney who thinks Hamas are the good guys should take a close look at the way uniformed gunmen and Gazans terrorised the already traumatised young women hostages as they were transferred to the Red Cross this week.

 

“People in western Sydney celebrating this and the release of terrorists from Israeli jails in exchange for innocent hostages are a million miles from the values which define Australians,” Mr Shelton said.

 

“The Albanese Government needs to make this clear so that all Australians are on the same page.

 

“Domestic terrorism will only end with the Government ending is equivocation on Israel’s war against Hamas.”
