The Morrison government's
decision to move the Australian embassy to Jerusalem is a very
dangerous strategy of inviting terrorist attacks on Australia in a
bid to win the unwinnable election.
If we take into account
that floating this idea during the Wentworth by-election, where
around 15% of voters are Jewish, did not result in a win for the
Liberal candidate (who happened to be of the Jewish faith and served
before as an Australian ambassador to Israel). On the contrary, many
progressive Jewish groups campaigned against this move as “dangerous”
and one that could expose Australia to terrorist attacks.
Even ASIO and other
security agencies gave the same warning to the Morrison government.
Internationally, flagging
the idea stirred a huge backlash against Australia from its
neighbours and the majority of state members of the UN.
So, if the policy is not
popular among anyone in Australia and around the world, why is the
Morrison government going ahead to adopt and implement this decision
before Christmas?
Let us put other pieces of
the puzzle together in order to solve the mystery.
In the last two months the
Liberal government has been busy attacking Muslims and trying to stir
up anti-Muslim hate. This is at the same time when it is still
sleeping with Muslim extremists. Let us remember that the Lebanese
Muslim Association and its allies of mainly extremist organisations
were advocating Muslims to vote for the Liberal party since the 2011
election and until now.
Let me also mention that
many neo-Nazis had joined the National party in large numbers and
controlled some branches.
So what are the details of
this election strategy to win the next election, an election all
opinion polls indicate a comfortable win for Labor?
Let us go back to the US
decision to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. After
announcing this decision, a wave of violent clashes swept many
regions around the world, including inside the USA condemnation of
this decision. Terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda vowed to
conduct terrorist attacks against this decision or take revenge on
this move. This is exactly what ASIO warned the Morrison government
about.
But these threats and
actual violence in fact helped improve Trump's popularity and this is
the election strategy of the Morrison government.
The Morrison government
comprised mainly of close-minded red-necks and racists thinks that if
it worked in US for Trump, it could work for them. This could be the
lifeline that will save them from not only defeat in the next
election, but total annihilation.
Morrison did not take into
account the big differences between the US and Australia, including
the fact that the US is a super power that flourished for decades on
intervening militarily in other countries, hence being subjected to
terrorist attacks and big losses among its military personnel.
The Morrison government
election strategy is simple, but highly dangerous. His advisers,
especially Peter Dutton, think that stirring hate and Islamophobia,
provoking people and encouraging racism and extremism will
militantize society to the point of inviting both Muslim terrorists
and white-supremacist criminals to clash or conduct terrorist attacks
on Australian soil. At this point, and taking into account its lies
on its successes of managing borders and its tough rhetoric against
extremism, the Morrison government will be seen as a saviour during a
time of terrorism and security turmoil.
Setting a peaceful country
on fire should not be used as an election strategy for a government
of failures. A government that failed at all levels in managing this
wealthy peaceful and multicultural nation should not be allowed to
set this great nation on fire for its own benefits including that of
keeping ministerial privileges, entitlements and being in the
spotlight.
In the last month and
after their defeat in the Wentworth by-election and the Victorian
election, this government adopted several draconian, extreme measures
that are both not needed and also provocative. The decision to move
the embassy to Jerusalem is the last component in such a suite of
provocative and dangerous policies that this deeply racist and
extreme government has adopted.
We should work very hard
to oust this government from power before Australia faces France'
fate. We can solve this matter without the help of Yellow Vests.
