Victoria police identify six possible criminal incidents after Hezbollah flags seen at weekend protests
PM warns against importing ‘radical ideologies of conflict’ and home affairs minister condemns ‘any indication of support for a terrorist organisation’
Labor and the Coalition have had a stronger response to this handful of flags and posters than they have to Israel killing 20,000+ kids.
Whats the issue for Labor here, are there really that many people in Aus that blindly side with Israel that its electorally suicidal to come out and say, 'we're with the rest of the world'? If so, then we should look at ourselves.
It's because we've hitched our wagon to the U.S. and we're not allowed to say or do anything that'll piss them off. It'll only get worse with AUKUS, and arguably that's the point of it - to lock us in to dependence and obedience to the U.S.
They're scared of being labelled as 'weak on National security', 'weak on terrorism' and 'antisemitic' by the coalition.
That's because a 5 eyes anti-Israel political revolt could result in trillion dollar losses for the military industrial complex, surveillance capitalism, and oil industries.
