I shouldn't be surprised to see the media describing those who took to the streets of London on Armistice Day to protest against the pro-Palestinan movement as "far right".
I am though. I should have predicted such rhetoric but I didn't.
The media wants to tell you that the pro-Palestinian marches are a march for peace.
Would that they actually were.
The same media will tell you that Armistice Day was the perfect day for pro-Palestinian marches to take the streets.
Never mind that Palestinians were filmed cheering on 9/11, and the Iranian regime that backs Hamas has been known to shout "Death to America".
In light of this easily accessible information...marching for Palestine on Armistice Day actually seems like an insult to the men who died so that our Western countries could be safe from those who wish to see us toppled.
In the face of protesters around the world burning Israeli flags amid calls to "gas the Jews" (Sydney), tearing down American flags in America (New York), and London protesters who were clearly anti the idea of a ceasefire, it didn't occur to me that anyone would be surprised when the everyday citizens of the West decided they'd had enough.
Of course, the media pulled from the same playbook they have been using for years now and immediately called the counter protests "far right". Despite the fact there is no evidence that these people are anything other than pissed off that people who have no love for the West, or respect for those that died to grant us our freedom, are marching the streets of London on Armistice Day.
Douglas Murray has been warning for some time now that if the government doesn't get these pro-Palestinian movements under control, then the people will and it will be ugly when they do.
He's not wrong, and let's be clear - I do not want the people of the West to rise up. I do not want to see this get out of control.
I want the government to handle it. I want the government to have the guts to say that while our Western countries have committed many wrongs in the past, there is not a nation on earth that hasn't. I want the government to recognise the great lengths Britain, America and Australia have gone to in order to right those wrongs.
I want the government to stand up and say; "We are proud of our 21st century nations, and we will not be cowed by the inflammatory rhetoric that comes from the left wing playbook. We will not allow our streets to be filled with calls for intifada or the chant that Israel has no right to exist. Such things contradict our values."
Of course, amid mounting evidence that these Palestinian protests are far from peaceful, people will still claim that they are.
To those of you marching in the street because you genuinely want peace; I support your right to do so.
To those of you using the humanity of the peace loving protesters as a shield to hide your violent intentions behind; you're not doing a very good job.
People calling for jihad, like brother Ismail in Sydney, and people who have known ties to Hamas, like Muhammad Qassem Sawalha in London, need to be deported.
If people of this nature were born in our country then they need to be prosecuted for incitement to violence or, in the case of Muhammad Qassem Sawalha, terrorism.
Of course, Muhammad Qassem Sawalha was not born in Britain. So there will be no problem revoking his citizenship.
Let me say this again for the people reading this who wish to twist my words.
I do not think that Muslims should be deported. I think people who are known to be associated with terrorist groups like Hamas, and people who are inciting violence with calls to jihad, should be deported.
We deported ISIS supporters. This should be no different.
If you are calling for violence against the people of this country, like brother Ismail did, then you have bitten the hand that feeds you. We are no longer obligated to extend our hospitality towards you.
Of course, my desire to protect the peace of our nation and the thriving multiculturalism that exists between white Australians, Indigenous Australians, peaceful Muslims, Indians, Chinese immigrants and many more, by not allowing people who call for violence on our streets to remain here...will be viewed as far-right extremism.
Not, what it really is, a desire to keep this country safe for all the people who peacefully live here. Regardless of their ethnicity, culture or religious background.
The double standards at play in the ongoing culture war never fail to hit me for a six.
For weeks now, pro-Palestinian movements across the West have taken to the streets with numerous violent chants upon their tongues. Yet the media has refused to call them extremist, incitements to violence or any other term that might condemn them.
Even Hamas are being referred to as 'militants' by some media outlets and not what they really are; terrorists.
Yet the moment people of the West take to the streets to say they've had enough of all of this...they're called far right protesters.
Hypocrisy to say the least.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."
Of course the river they are referring to is the Jordan river and the sea they are referring to is the Mediterranean Sea. Between which lies the state of Israel.
This is a clear call for the establishment of a Palestinian State where Israel currently exists.
Do tell me, what happens to the 9.3 million Israelis who currently reside in Israel.
Perhaps, like Hamas official Ismail Rudwan, you think they should just leave. After all, these were the sentiments of the Hamas spokesman in 2020 when Hamas and the PLO rejected the Peace for Prosperity Deal.
Well, where shall the Israeli's go then? Many people seem to hold the idea that Israelis have all moved to Israel from other parts of the world. Which for some people in Israel is true. It has been suggested more than once that Israelis can just go back to America or Germany or Poland or Russia. Wherever it is they "came from."
Leaving aside for a moment the Israelis who were born in Israel, I wonder what the Palestinians plan for the 800,000 Jews who were forced out of Middle Eastern nations due to pogroms and anti-semitism is?
More than once it has been indicated to me by a pro-Palestinian that such pogroms never existed, and that the Middle East has always been a welcoming place for people of all religions. Let me dissolve you of this notion too.
Shiraz Pogrom, Iran, 1910
The Farhud, Iraq, 1941
Aden Riots, Yemen, 1947
Aleppo Riots, Syria, 1947
Oujda Riots, Morocco, 1948
Jerada Riots, Morocco, 1948
Thrace Pogroms, Turkey, 1934
Again, people will tell you that "From the river to sea" is not a genocidal chant at all. That it simply calls for Arabs and Palestinians to be free all throughout Israel.
Except the phrase "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is also used by Hamas leaders like Khaled Mashal.
To chant this phrase is to parrot the words of an organisation whose stated goal is to obliterate Israel and kill every Jew.
What is my evidence that this is their stated goal? It is written in their charter.
So, no. This is not a peaceful chant. Claiming that it is, is akin to parroting the phrases of Hitler, Stalin or Mao and then claiming you mean something different. You're not really as violent as Hitler, Mao, Stalin or Hamas. You just think they have a catchy quote.
No. You are quoting the leader of a terrorist organisation. It is quite clear what you mean.
"From the river to sea" is not the only call for violence amongst Palestinian protesters though.
"There is only on solution, intifada revolution."
To be clear, there have been two intifadas since the state of Israel was re-established in 1948. The first intifada (1987-1993) killed 2,000 people. The second intifada (2000-2005) killed 4,300 people.
So I fail to see how a call for intifada is in any way, shape or form a call for peace. It seems to be quite the opposite.
Now, you may claim that not everyone in these protests wants there to be violence. Many of them do want peace.
Yes, well as a peace loving person myself...if I were marching in a crowd of people who were chanting catchy phrases with genocidal sentiments...I think I would go home. I probably wouldn't show up next week. I would seriously reconsider whether or not I wanted to be associated with people who think "anything Hamas does is justified."
Let me be clear, if you are standing side by side in a march with people who are chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free", you are silently endorsing their genocidal phrase.
So, my message to the writers at The Guardian and The Telegraph who claim that pro-Palestinians marches are pro-peace marches is...is there any chance that you could find it in your budget to hire a fact checker? Should you manage to scrounge the money together to do such a thing, would you potentially consider treating these marches with the same level of vitriol that you treated Londoners on Armistice Day.
The mainstream media gives the impression that there is no such thing as a moderate conservative. Or even just a conservative. There are only far right, white supremacists and racists...or so you would think from the way they speak.
Shame on you. Shame on you for bowing to the pressure of radical left wing ideology and the ever present threat of cancel culture.
Shame on you for justifying Palestinian calls to violence and demonising Londoners who took a stand for their country, their history, and the sanctity of Armistice Day.
