Since becoming the leader of Labor, Albanese is always looking for his "Munich agreement" on pretty much every contentious issue. This is a perfect example. Gaza is perhaps the worst example.

I detect no 'co-mingling'. As for fearing Islam, er, no. The word for that is Islamophobia, which is an irrational fear of Islam in its entirety, not a relative minority of radicalised Islamists. Further, if the Jewish 'community' (there isn't a single entity culturally united) is thrown, then it surely has been by the fact of Netanyahu's malevolent version of Israel having dug miles of tunnels under the Star of David, using Jews as human shields. And Zionism, it might be said, is the most insidious form of antisemitism of all.

You know the so-called "Royal Commission" is just a pretext to introduce laws that allow people to be jailed for criticizing Israel.

The instant the Bondi shooting happened, a solitary reason was given as the cause for the shooting - hate speech. Never mind that there was no actual investigation on why the shooters did what they did, the media and Zionists all immediately screeched that the shooters were "Radicalised" and demanded laws protecting Jews.

We could hold a People’s Royal Commission.

I don't actually think there has been a rise in anti-Semitism. What has happened is existing a-S has simply been manifested, released by political dynamics - mainly the Oct7 attack and retaliation to it. And the Jewish community has been completely thrown by the fact their old enemy the far right is not the threat anymore, but it comes from the left.

Its also intellectually dishonest to continue obligatorily co-mingling the concept with Islamophobia. Its a tell that gives away the partisanship of the author. The reality is that given the history fearing Islam is a perfectly rational position - indeed one that many Muslims themselves have - see Iran right now.
