Lib-Lab Apartheid Australia Supports Demonstrator-killing  
Racist Zionist-Run Apartheid Israel

By Dr Gideon Polya

08 June, 2011
Countercurrents.org

In recent weeks the Apartheid Israelis have been shooting and killing unarmed Arabs demonstrating for Palestinian Human Rights. In the latest incident on the illegally Israel-occupied Syrian Golan Heights, Israeli soldiers killed 2 dozen demonstrators and wounded 350. Apartheid Australia (it applies race-based discriminatory laws against its Indigenous Australian, Afghan and refugee subjects) has supported US Alliance bombing of Libya but remains Apartheid Israel 's best friend after the US .

A noisy debate erupted in Australia recently because Greens Senator-elect Lee Rhiannon supported Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Apartheid Israel . Lee Rhiannon was attacked by the slavishly pro-Zionist Australian Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Opposition and the slavishly pro-Zionist Australian Labor Party Government (aka the Lib-Labs) which both  support anti-democratic, race-based, genocidal, war criminal, racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel .

On the Australian taxpayer-funded ABC national TV Q&A program on 6 June 2011 (see: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/qanda/txt/s3227620.htm ) Senator-elect Lee Rhiannon tried to defend the BDS position against vociferous pro-Zionists. Naturally enough, reference was made to the latest cowardly and murderous Israeli massacre of about 2 dozen unarmed Palestinian protesters on the illegally Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

In what is becoming a regular feature of this secretively and deceptively  pro-Zionist ABC TV program (which typically has a hugely disproportionate number of pro-Zionist panellists),  Q&A did not tell its audience that of the 5 panellists,  one, Liberal MP Christopher Pyne,   had been on a sponsored trip to Apartheid Israel (for an analysis of such Zionist- sponsored trips to Apartheid Israel see Middle East Reality Check, “I've been to Israel too”: http://middleeastrealitycheck.blogspot.com/2009/03/ive-been-to-israel-too.html  ). Q&A did reveal on its website that  another panellist, Sandy Gutman (aka comedian Austen Tayshus), is an Australian  Jewish Zionist who has visited Apartheid Israel and then met with then  Israeli President Zalman Shazar in Jerusalem (the war criminal , nuclear terrorist president of Apartheid Israel , 1963-1973 i.e. during the nuclear terrorist  Apartheid Israeli acquisition of nuclear weapons and the war criminal, unprovoked   invasion of Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Egypt in 1967) . Another panellist Paul McGeough, former editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, has reported from the West Bank and Gaza strip, and was violently kidnapped together with 4 other Australians (1 tasered, 1 shot) in international waters by Israeli terrorists (including some Israeli Australian terrorists) while  on board the Gaza flotilla attempting to evade the Apartheid  Israeli port blockade of Palestine in 2010 last year and which was attacked by Israeli terrorists  (9 Turks, including a Turkish American, were killed). A further panellist was a Labor Party Minister, noting that the pro-Zionist Australian Labor Party has been  lavishly supported by the Zionists, this including huge financial donations from the proceeds of the most massive white-collar criminality in the nation's history.

I sent the following letter on 7 June 2011 to Australian media and MPs in the interests of the much-abused Palestinians, Australia and of decent, anti-racist, humanitarian Australian Jews who are increasingly threatened by Australian Lib-lab support for racist Zionists and genocidal Apartheid Israel .

Dear etc,

Re Labor anti-Arab anti-Semitism & anti-Jewish anti-Semitism

According to the Australian ABC news, in this latest incident  Apartheid Israeli troops shot 23 and wounded 350 unarmed Arabs when they fired on unarmed Arabs protesting the illegal Israeli occupation and ethnic cleansing of the Golan Heights part of Syria .

Remember the Sharpeville Massacre that occurred on 21 March 1960 in the South African township of Sharpeville in the Transvaal Province where  the South African police opened fire on an African crowd protesting the race-based Pass Laws,  killing 69 people and wounding 180. 

The Sharpeville Massacre was a catalyst for ultimately successful Sanctions against racist  UK- , racist US- , Apartheid Australia- and Apartheid Israel-backed, Nazi-style Apartheid South Africa .

Today South African heroes in the fight against Apartheid, Archbishop Desmond Tutu,  Nelson Mandela, Jewish South African hero Ronnie Kasrils and many others around the world are calling for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against what they and the  civilized world, including outstanding,  anti-racist , humanitarian Jews,  call Apartheid Israel.

While the Australian Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Opposition and the Australian Labor Party Government (aka the Lib-Labs) support anti-democratic, race-based, genocidal, war criminal, racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel and its evil "democracy by genocide" and "democratic fascism",  outstanding, anti-racist, humanitarian  Jewish and non-Jewish scholars and leaders around the World are resolutely opposed to the crimes of  racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel (for details of such eminent opinions Google  "Jews Against Racist Zionism" and "Non-Jews Against Racist Zionism").

Some awkward facts for the racist,  Lib-Lab,  Apartheid Australia supporters of Apartheid Israel:  800,000 Palestinian children are abusively imprisoned in what the Catholic Church has described as the Gaza Concentration Camp for the crime of being Indigenous Palestinians living on a tiny part of their Homeland; out of 12 million Palestinians only the adults of 1.6 million Israeli Palestinians are permitted to vote for the government ruling all of Palestine (plus parts of Syria and Lebanon (i.e Apartheid Israel is no more a “democracy” than was Apartheid South Africa); the Hamas MPs that won 76 out of 132 seats in the 2006 Occupied Palestinian elections held under Apartheid Israeli guns have been declared to be "terrorists" by Apartheid Israel, Apartheid Australia and the rest of the anti-Arab anti-Semitic,  democratic fascist US Alliance; of 12 million Palestinians about 50% are forbidden to even enter Palestine, the land continuously inhabited by their forebears for thousands of years; post-invasion excess deaths from violence an deprivation total 0.3 million and under-5 infant deaths total 0.2 million (90% avoidable and due to Apartheid Israeli war crimes); there are over 7 million Palestinian refugees; 85% of Christian Palestinians have fled the Occupied Palestinian Territory; Apartheid Israel is a race-based, genocidal, ethnic cleansing, nuclear terrorist, war criminal rogue state.

Australia 's most eminent Jewish citizen, Sir Isaac Isaacs, the first Australian-born Australian Governor General stated (1946): "The honour of Jews throughout the world demands the renunciation of political Zionism."

Outstanding Jewish Israeli scholar Professor Avi Shlaim ( Oxford University ) stated (2009): "brief review of Israel 's record over the past four decades makes it difficult to resist the conclusion that it has become a rogue state with "an utterly unscrupulous set of leaders". A rogue state habitually violates international law, possesses weapons of mass destruction and practises terrorism - the use of violence against civilians for political purposes. Israel fulfils all of these three criteria; the cap fits and it must wear it. "

Outstanding Jewish American scholar Professor Jared Diamond in his best-selling book "Collapse” (Prologue, p10, Penguin edition) enunciated the "moral principle, namely that it is morally wrong for one people to dispossess, subjugate, or exterminate another people" – an injunction grossly violated by racist Zionist (RZ)-run Apartheid Israel and its racist, genocide-committing and genocide-ignoring US Alliance backers.

Orthodox Jewish scholar and author Moshe Menuhin (father of the anti-Zionist and brilliant violinist Yehudi Menuhin) stated of the racist Zionists: “Jews should be Jews - not Nazis.”

And brilliant and humane Jewish Canadian writer Naomi Klein has stated: “There is a debate among Jews - I'm a Jew by the way. The debate boils down to the question: "Never again to everyone, or never again to us?... [Some Jews] even think we get one get-away-with-genocide-free card...There is another strain in the Jewish tradition that say, 'Never again to anyone.””

No decent, anti-racist, humanitarian Jews who take the views of these eminent anti-racist Jewish scholars seriously  can vote for a racist, pro-Zionist Australian Labor Party (ALP) that has become an Apartheid Labor Party and an Apartheid Israel-supporting Party.

Indeed the Apartheid Israel-supporting Labor Party that used to be the  anti-racist Nationalist Socialist  Party that banned federal racism and abolished the White Australia Policy via the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act has now become a racist, pro-war, human rights-abusing, war criminal and climate criminal National Socialist Party.

As explored by outstanding, anti-racist Jewish Australian writer Antony Loewenstein, pro-Zionist Laborites played a major role  in the disgraceful, cowardly, secret and dishonorable 2010 Coup against popularly-elected PM Kevin Rudd, who, apart from slipping electoral popularity at the time,  was evidently regarded by the traitorous racist Zionists as insufficiently  pro-Zionist.

Under the Apartheid Israel-supporting  Labor Party, Indigenous Australians, Afghan refugees and Tamil refugees are excluded from the protection of the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act; donations supporting the racist Zionist (RZ) Palestinian Genocide are tax deductible while donations to Gaza or West Bank orphanages  could conceivably attract life imprisonment under Australia's anti-Arab anti-Semitic anti-terrorism laws; and traitorous Australian Israelis and their ilk are free to forge Australian passports, violently kidnap Australians in international waters, fund the ALP with the proceeds of crime,  support US, UK and Apartheid Israeli war crimes and terrorism, betray Australia and come and go as they please.

Its dishonest political rhetoric aside, in horrible actuality the Apartheid Israel-supporting Labor Party is anti-Arab anti-Semitic and Islamophobic (war-related deaths now total 4.6 million in the continuing, Australia-complicit Iraqi Holocaust and Iraqi Genocide, and total 5.0 million in the continuing, Australia-complicit Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide) and is also anti-Jewish anti-Semitic by ignoring the humane advice of outstanding anti-racist Jewish scholars in favor of that from traitorous racist Zionists and by falsely and dangerously attributing the horrendous, genocidal crimes of Apartheid Israel to decent, anti-racist , humanitarian Jews.

Indeed the politically correct racist (PC racist) Apartheid Labor Party  endlessly declares that it is not racist and accordingly one supposes is prepared to send not just Muslim and Arab refugee children but also Jewish refugee children off to Malaysia to be imprisoned  in wire cages and permanently  scarred by caning (as has happened to 30,000 refugees already in Malaysia, noting that while refugees willingly consented to being "people smuggled", asylum seekers arriving by boat in Australia would no doubt be extremely strongly opposed to being subjected to  the highly abusive, Apartheid  Labor Party-proposed international "people trafficking" , "people swapping" and "people trading" that White Australia formerly practised in relation to Indigenous Australians, Pacific Island Kanaka slaves and Indian 5-year slavery indentured labor). The Apartheid Labor Party may ban export of cattle to Indonesian slaughterhouses where they will be whipped and otherwise abused  but proposes to export refugee children to Malaysia where they will be caged like animals and subject to scarring caning.

The traitorous, racist, genocide-complicit, war criminal, climate criminal, pro-coal, pro-gas, anti-Arab anti-Semitic,  anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, corrupt and terracidal Australian Apartheid Israel-supporting Labor Party (ALP) should be sidelined in public life together with like racists such as  the racist Zionists (RZs), Nazis, neo-Nazis, Apartheiders and KKK. 

Decent, anti-racist  Australians cannot vote for the Apartheid  Israel-supporting Labor Party and will vote 1 Green and put Labor last until it returns to humane values and stops betraying and endangering the Planet, Australia , decent Australian Labor voters and decent, anti-racist , humanitarian Australian Jews.

Yours sincerely,

Dr Gideon Polya, Melbourne

End letter .

Conclusion.

The Australian pro-Zionist Lib-Labs (who together receive about 80% of the primary vote in Australia ) are locked in to disgraceful support for racist Zionist-run Apartheid Israel . Decent Australians must oppose the malignant, secretive domination of Australian politics by the racist Zionists by exposing  these unacceptable links and by supporting the BDS campaign against genocidal Apartheid Israel .

Outstanding  anti-racist, humanitarian  Jewish Australian writers,  scholars and citizens such as Antony Loewensteiin (author  of “My Israel Question”), the Independent  Australian Jewish Voices (IAJV), and Jews Against the Occupation (Sydney)   are courageously showing the way. Thus in March 2010 a large number of decent, anti-racist Australian Jews signed a petition against the racist and genocidal Israeli "law of return" that gives all Jews (as defined by the racist Zionists running Apartheid Israel) the "right" to live in Palestine with Israeli citizenship to the exclusion of maybe 7 million Palestinians forbidden to live in the land inhabited continuously by their Palestinian forebears since the literal dawn of history. According to outstanding Jewish Australian writer Antony Loewenstein: "Some of the key signatories include world-renowned ethicist Peter Singer, actor Miriam Margolyes, legendary feminist campaigner Eva Cox, La Trobe University's Dennis Altman, Monash University's Andrew Benjamin, Sydney University's David Goodman and John Docker, legal scholar GJ Lindell, best-selling author and journalist Antony Loewenstein, writers Susan Varga and Sara Dowse, ANU's Ned Curthoys and many others” (see:
http://antonyloewenstein.com/2010/03/03/prominent-australian-jews-including-peter-singer-reject-the-israeli-right-of-return/ ).

The racist Zionists represent a huge threat  not just to Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims but also to decent, antiracist, humanitarian Jews. Indeed outstanding Jewish American scholar Professor Bertell Ollman has stated: “An all out struggle against Zionism by Jews, therefore, is also the most effective way to fight against real anti-Semitism. Furthermore, if Zionism is indeed a particularly virulent form of nationalism and, increasingly, of racism and if Israel is acting toward its captive minority in ways that resemble more and more how the Nazis treated their Jews, then we must also say so. For obvious reasons, the Zionists are very sensitive about being compared to the Nazis (not so sensitive that it has restrained them in their actions but enough to bellow "unfair" and to charge "anti-Semitism" when it happens). Yet, the facts on the ground, when not obscured by one or another Zionist rationalization, show that the Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today, oppressing a Semitic people as no nation has done since the Nazis.”

The racist Zionists (RZs) and their supporters are blot on decent, humane Jewry and  grossly violate humane and universalist Judaism. The racist Zionists (RZs) should be condemned internationally and sidelined in national public life as has happened to like racists such as Nazis, neo-Nazis, Apartheiders and the KKK. Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. Tell everyone you can.
