ماذا حصل لاستراليا الجميلة: تعليقا علی قانون اعتقال الاطفال

هل فوجئنا باللغة المائعة التي صيغت بها لغة قانون اخراج الاطفال من معتقلات العار الاسترالية؟ وهل كنا نتوقع كثيرا من حزب الخضر الذي لا يملك أي رصيد من نتائج متحققةسابقا؟

دعونا في البداية ان نذكر مآخذنا علی مشروع القانون المقدم الی مجلس الشيوخ بالامس فالمشروع يدعو الی اطلاق الاطفال والقاصرين من معسكرات الاعتقال في مدة لا تزيد عن ١٢ يوما. وينص ايضا علی ان يتم تحديد ان كان يجب ان يتم اطلاق الوالدين خلال ٣٠ يوما.

ولكن مشروع القانون لا يحدد معنی "الاعتقال". كما ان القانون لا يتحدث عن نوع التاشيرة التي يجب ان يحصل عليها القاصر واهله او يضع مددا زمنية للبت في طلباتهم.

كما يجب ان نذكر ان اكبر ماخذ لنا علی القانون هو ان حزب الخضر تراجع كليا عن شعاراته المطالبة بالغاء نظام الاحتجاز الاجباري كليا (للاطفال والكبار). هذه الشعارات التي دابنا علی سماعها كلما دق كوز الانتخابات في جرة السياسة الاسترالية.

وهنا يجب ان نذكر ان حزب الخضر يعتبر حالة فريدة في السياسة الاسترالية و مثالا حيا للانتهازية السياسية بادنی مستوياتها. فكل الاحزاب الاسترالية (حتی الرجعية منها) لها سياسات واضحة لا تحيد عنها تعتبر في قلب التزاماتها منذ انشائها او تطورا عن فكرها، الا حزب الخضر. فهو حزب الموقف الشعبوي الذي يستقطب اصواتا اكثر.

عود علی قضيه قانون اخراج الاطفال من معتقلات العار، فان قراءة شبه متانية في القانون تجعلنا نسال من طرحه الاسئلة التالية:
١-هل يعتبر اسكان العائلات في مساكن خارج المعتقلات التقليدية (في شقق سكنية تحت حراسة مشددة لا تسمح بالحرية الكاملة) هل يعتبر ذلك انهاءا لحالة الاعتقال؟
٢-ما هي المدد الزمنية التي يمكن ان يقضيها الاطفال واهاليهم في هكذا منازل (تعتبر خارج المعتقل) قبل البت في طلباتهم؟

ان هذين السؤالين يجيبان علی الكثير من التساؤلات التي يمكن ان نطرحها لنحدد الفرق بين القانون المطروح من قبل حزب الخضر والمارسات التي طبقها حزب الاحرار الحاكم، الذي سلم السلطة لحزب العمال عام ٢٠٠٨ دون أي طفل في "المعتقلات التقليدية".

ان العار السياسي الذي ارتكبه حزب الخضر ونوابه في التراجع التام عن السياسة المعلنة لهذا الحزب بالعمل علی انهاء سياسة الاعتقال الاجباري، لا يجاريه أي عار سياسي لحزب آخر.

فحزب الخضر والذي داب علی كيل الشتائم والانتقادات والاتهامات للحزبين الكبيرين بعدم تنفيذ وعودهما الانتخابية، عليه ان يبدا بشتم نوابه وسياسييه والكف عن الكيل بمكيالين وعلی قاعدة "من بيته من زجاج لا يجب ان يرمي الاخرين بالحجارة".

المثير للقلق والحنق هو ان تلجا وسائل الاعلام للتطبيل والتزمير لهذا القانون وكانه ثورة انقلابية علی الوضع القائم، بالرغم من انه لا يزيد ولو حرفا واحدا عن السياسة التي اعلن عنها حزب العمال الاسبوع الماضي. وتفاجئنا بمواقف وسائل الاعلام ناتج عن احدی مفارقتين:
١- فوسائل الاعلام الخاصة (والذي معظمها رجعي داب علی تصوير انه يقدح في حزب الخضر ويصوره علی انه حزب ثوري يسعی لقلب نظام الحكم الراسمالي) تطبل وتزمر لحزب الخضر وكانه سيحدث نقلة نوعية في حياة الاستراليين ويحل معضلة كبيرة في حياتهم.
٢- وسائل الاعلام الممولة حكوميا والتي عادة ما تتخذ مواقف اما تقدمية او محايدة، ايضا طبلت وزمرت وكان القانون اختراق تقدمي يقلب نظام الهجرة راسا علی عقب.
٣-اما وسائل الاعلام الاثنية، فهي ناقل حرفي عن احدی الوسيلتين اعلاه.

ما يقلقنا هو وسائل الاعلام الممولة حكوميا، وخصوصا التي تبث باللغات الاثنية ومنها العربية. فهذه الوسائل تتلقف ما يقوله نواب حزب الخضر وكانه احاديث منزلة من السماء لا يمكن الطعن فيها او مجادلتها. ولذلك فهذه الوسائل لا تحلل ولا تسال معارضين او ناشطين متخصصين في الموضوع ولا تسمح براي آخر. وهي بذلك تكون قد بثت اخبارا كاذبة للعمل علی غسل دماغ جماعي للناطقين بهذه اللغات.

وبالرغم من اننا قد اتصلنا بالقائمين علی هذه الوسائل وبينا ان نواب حزب الخضر هم بشر، يخطئوا ويصيبوا، ولذلك فان اقوالهم قابلة للتاويل والتكذيب. بل ان الاغلب من اقوالهم وادعاءاتهم هي اكاذيب وتخرصات لا تمت للحقيقة بصلة. كما اننا زودناهم بحقيقة ما يحدث داخل معسكرات الاعتقال والمواقف الحقيقية الرجعية لنواب الخضر.

ولكن ويبدو ان الحمية العربية وحب التسلط واثبات القوة وعدم التعود علی التراجع عن الخطا، قد صور للقائمين علی هذه الوسائل الاعلامية ان بامكانهم التمادي في غيهم، دون محاسبة من احد. بل اننا لاحظنا انه وامعانا في المناكدة والتحدي، فان بعض هذه الوسائل قد اصبح يبث كل صغيرة او كبيرة صادرة عن حزب الخضر، حتی خلنا ان حزب الخضر اصبح المالك الكامل لهذه الوسائل الاعلامية. فاصبحت تبث الصالح والطالح، حتی خلنا انهم سيخبروننا متی يذهب نواب حزب الخضر الی دورات المياه للتخلص من اسهال طارئ او امساك مزمن.

اما بالنسبة لقانون اخراج الاطفال من المعتقلات، فهو قانون لا يقدم ولا يؤخر علی وضع اللاجئين المزري في معتقلات العار الاسترالية. بل ان القانون سيتلقفه حزبي العمال والاحرار ليقولوا ها هو حزب الخضر يوافق علی ابقاء اعتقال البالغين في معتقلات فيلاوود وكريسماس ايلاند وكيرتين وباكستر. كما ان حزب الخضر الآن يوافق علی الترتيبات الجديدة بحق العائلات والقاضية باسكانهم في مساكن تحت حراسة مشددة في مناطق نائية بعيدة عن اعين المجتمع.

ان تراجع حزب الخضر عن التزاماته اتجاه اللاجئين وطالبي اللجوء ليس هو التراجع الاول لحزب الخضر عن وعود انتخابية سابقة. فالحزب والذي وعد في اكثر من مناسبة بالعمل علی الغاء الدعم الحكومي للتامين الصحي الخاص، تراجع عن هذا الوعد وصوت ضد مقترح حكومة راد العمالية الغاء هذا الدعم وتوجيه الاموال الموفرة لدعم المستشفيات الحكومية الآيلة للتهاوي. كما ان حزب الخضر تراجع عن معارضه بعض بنود قوانين مكافحة ما يسمی بالارهاب فوافق علی معظم ما جاء في القوانين، والتي كان وعد بمعارضتها والعمل علی الغائها.

ان زيادة دعم الجماهير المهمشة والتقدمية لحزب الخضر والذي ترجم بزيادة نواب الحزب لاكثر من الضعف، اتی بنتائج عكسية مدمرة علی هذه الجماهير.

فبدلا من ان يقوم الحزب بالعمل علی المطالبة من الحكومة العمالية (الضعيفة والمئتلفة معه) بتعديل القوانين والاجراءات لتحقيق مجتمع اكثر عدلا، قام حزب الخضر باقتراح قوانين واجراءات تجعل المجتمع اقل عدالة واكثر غبنا، خصوصا للمهمشين من سكان اصليين ومهاجرين جدد ولاجئين ومعاقين.

ان المواطنين الشرفاء الذين صوتوا لحزب الخضر كاحتجاج ضد تراجع حزب العمال عن التزاماته اتجاه المهمشين، لديه الف سبب ليطالبوا حزب الخضر بتوضيحات عن سبب تراجعهم عن وعودهم الانتخابية. كما ان هؤلاء الناخبين يجب ان يضعوا الف علامة استفهام علی قدرة هكذا حزب لا يلتزم بتحقيق وعود انتخابية بسيطة، كيف له ان يحمل علی عاتقه مسؤولية تحقيق اجندات تغييرية بمواضيع هامة مثل الادارة الاقتصادية والسياسات الخارجية ونظام الرفاه الاجتماعي الآيل للانهيار والخدمات الحكومية المتازمة.

المفارقات المحزنة في الوضع الاسترالي الذي يعاني من غياب قيادة حقيقية تقود التغيير الاجتماعي والاقتصادي والسياسي تتجلی في ابهی صورها عندما نقارن وضع استراليا بوضع الدول المتقدمة المماثلة.
ففرنسا تغرق في اضرابات مليونية مفتوحة بسبب محاولة زيادة الحكومة لسن التقاعد من ٦٠ الی ٦٢ عاما. بينما ان المجتمع الاسترالي لم يحرك ساكنا عندما رفعت الحكومة سن التقاعد من ٦٠ الی ٦٥ ثم اخيرا الی ٦٧.

ومحاولة المجرم طوني بلير اطلاق مذكراته تواجه بمظاهرات صاخبة منعته من مواصلة الاطلاق وادت الی الغاء جميع حملاته للتوريج لها. بينما يجول المجرم الاسترالي جون هاورد ويصول في قاعات اطلاق مذكراته، دون معارضة تذكر، سوی من متظاهر او اثنين.

ووسائل الاعلام العالمية تصبح فعالة اكثر واكثر في فضح الحقائق، بينما وسائل اعلامنا تقف مرددة ما يصلها من سياسيين، دون تحليل او تدقيق بصحتها.

يبدو ان الاسترالي قد فقد الامل باي تغيير يمكن ان يحصل بواسطة اللجوء الی الشارع او النشاط السياسي، ولذلك فقد ارتضی ان يرسل رسائل قوية في صناديق الاقتراع. ولكن يبدو ان السياسيين يصرون علی اهمال هذه الرسائل لاكثر من سبب. قد يكون احد هذه الاسباب هو ايمانهم انه لا يوجد امام الناخب أي بديل عنهم. او ان السبب قد يكون محاولة لاستغفالنا والانتقاص من ذكائنا وقدراتنا العقلية.

مما لا شك فيه فان تراجع قدرة المجتمع الاسترالي علی التصدي لهذا الهجوم علی حقوق ابنائه، وخصوصا المهمشين منهم، يرجع في السبب الاكبر لعدم وجود قيادة ملترمة بشكل حقيقي بهذه الحقوق. وهنا يكون ان عرف السبب بطل العجب، واصبح واجبا تحقيق ايجاد هكذا قيادة.

Afghanistan war debate in the parliament: the rhetoric vs real commitments

At last, we had parliamentary debate over the Australian participation in war on Afghanistan. Two days of intense debate. Then it was ended with no result, so far. In Arabic we say: The mountain got into labour, but gave birth to a mouse.

We had the opportunity to hear all empty rhetoric of all sides: The Labor and Liberals competing to show support for Americans. The Greens empty rhetoric on necessity to leave Afghanistan after causalities increased. Independents argue that we will not win the war.

Then the show finished. All parties went to their air-conditioned offices happy that they scored political points.

But the Australian participation in the war is still reality. The Afghani people are still under brutal occupation. And Australian soldiers are still killing innocent Afghanis and become sometimes casualties.

Well done Andrew Willkie and the Greens. They could change the atmosphere inside the parliament and get some debate on issues with different “flavour”.

I envy these politicians’ ability to change their skins regularly and sometimes on weekly basis.

Was not this the same Andrew Willkie that demanded 2 years ago that the Australian troops need to stay in Afghanistan to “finish the job” and not leaving it to extreme Taliban?

Was not this the same Bob Brown who earlier blamed John Howard and George Bush administrations for not sending enough troops to kill as many Afghanis as possible to crush the resistance?

What a shame!!!

Did we forget this? Do Brown and Willkie count on the short memory of nations?

But we notice that their change of skin was not complete.

Both Bob Brown and Andrew Willkie are demanding the troops withdrawal because we cannot crush resistance. And because Australian troops cannot crush resistance, some of them get killed or wounded. This is the main argument they made in the last few days.

They did not demand the troops withdrawal because any occupation is illegal. They did not show any empathy for Afghani causalities, which mount to thousands every year. They do not care about the devastation of Afghani society and the collapse of all infrastructures.

Both were crying because we lost 21 soldiers in Afghanistan. But I did not hear them cry because this illegal and brutal war killed thousands of Afghani, made millions refugees in neighbouring countries and deprived Afghani from basic rights and basic life needs.

We know very well that both Willkie and Brown were very silent on this vital issue since the invasion in 2001 until this year. We know very well that these politicians are populist ones that are after some media attention, only. Hence they were deadly silent when Taliban was weak, and woke up when Taliban became very sophisticated and killed in this year 600 foreign occupying soldiers, so far.

But we know that in politics and in life the most important is the result. So what is the result of this big loud media circus initiated by those politicians (The Greens and Willkie)?

Absolutely nothing. No changes whatsoever.

So Mr Willkie and Brown: please give us break.

We know very well that you are after some votes, even if they will be mixed with a lot of blood: Blood of Afghanis, not only of Australians.

And we know very well that you do not give a damn about the brutality of this war. We know very well that you do not care of how bad the Afghanis live in their country. We know very well that your debate and your words are merely empty rhetoric to fool us to give you our vote in the coming-very-soon election. We know all this, so please go to hell.

We notice that you never issued media release when innocent Afghanis were killed by foreign troops (including Australians). We never saw your tears shed when Afghani villages were erased from the map by foreign troops. We did not hear you mentioning the numbers of children killed by occupying forces. We never, to date, hear your position on Australians tried for crimes against Afghanis.

So please stop playing politics with blood of innocent people. If you are serious, take actions.

The agreement with Labor demanded only to open a debate. No demands of specific outcomes. No demands of committee to follow on implementing the debate outcomes (if there will be outcomes ever).

Again, please stop treating Afghani dead bodies as votes on polling booths. We are sick from your cheap politics, so please stop.

Please respect our intelligence, and to lesser extent our feelings.

مقال كتب عام ٢٠٠٨ واعيد نشره لتشابه الامس باليوم

ما اشبه اليوم بالبارحة!
جمال داود – سدني

"من كان يعبد محمدا، فان محمدا قد مات. ومن كان يعبد الله، فالله حي لا يموت" ابو بكر الصديق (رضي الله عنه)

ذكرت هذا القول بعد ان شاهدت التهويل والمبالغة (الى حد القرف الاخلاقي) في استذكار الفقيد رفيق الحريري، وخصوصا في هذه الايام. فقبره اصبح محجا اهم من قبر الرسول (صلعم). وزوار هذا القبر يمتدحون الفقيد وكانه قديس او نبي.

وكلمات اهل الفقيد ومحبيه (الذين اكتشفوا محبته بعد اغتياله فقط) تثير الغثيان الى حد القيئ.

وما اشبه اليوم بالبارحة. وكأننا لم نتعلم من دروس التاريخ القاسية اي شيئ

فمعاوية واصدقاءه من التجار والمتاجرين يعودون اليوم ليلوحوا بقميص عثمان الملطخ بالدماء، ليبرروا عشقهم للسلطة والمال واستعدادهم للمتاجرة بكل شيئ في سبيلهما

تجار بني امية يعودون مجددا للمطالبة بتسليم قتلة عثمان، والا فالى صفين والجمل

تجار السلطة مشغولون بحياكة المؤامرات، متلطين بقميص عثمان، ملوحين به كلما سائلهم احد عن جرائمهم في الجامعة العربية وعين علق وقبلها في كفار متى وصبرا وشاتيلا والمتحف

وكأن دم عثمان اغلى من دماء الالاف الذين سيسقطون مجددا في الجمل و صفين وساحة الشهداء

كأن دم عثمان اطهر من دماء اطفال صبرا وشاتيلا، الذين ضحى بهم معاوية الحريري وتحالف مع قاتلهم الكتائبي - القواتي

كأن دم عثمان اهم من شرف الامة وكرامتها واستقلالها

كأن دم عثمان اهم من الاف السنين من العيش المشترك والمصير المشترك والهدف المشترك

كأن دم عثمان اهم من شرف الاقصى الذي تستباح حرمته كل يوم، وقداسة المهد وبرائة اطفال بيت حانون، وطهارة نساء الجنوب

معاوية يطل براسه مرة اخرى، ليقول: تجارتي واموالي وسلطتي، والا فعلى لبنان السلام

معاوية المتدثر بحرير عائلته ومعه يزيده السنيوري، اتقنا دراسة التاريخ واعادة تقمص شخصيات التجار الامويين والتلطي بقميص عثمان

معاوية اعاد تحالفاته مع اعداء الامة من خوارج ومارقين واجانب

وكله من اجل عثمان!

ويا لهذا العثمان

عثمان المشاريع المليارية، في بلد اصغر من ان تحتمل سوق عكاظ

عثمان الانفتاح والسوق الحرة وديون نوادي باريس ولندن وصندوق النقد الدولي، بعد ان استلم بلدا خرج من حرب اهلية ضروس بلا قرش واحد للدائنين

عثمان الارتهان لارادة عائلات مالكة لكل شيئ الا للحد الادنى من الاخلاق والقيم والشرف

الم يكف تاريخنا معاوية واحد، يزيد واحد، عمرو واحد، وصفين واحدة

الم يكف تاريخنا قميص واحد، مرغ به معاوية ويزيده التاريخ دما وحقدا وكذبا

معاوية هذه المرة ليس مؤزرا بجيوش المماليك، مماليك السلطة والدنانير فحسب، بل مؤزرا بقوات اليونيفيل والمتعددة الجنسيات

معاوية هذه المرة تحالف مع الشيطان الصهيوني ليحقق مطامحه بالبقاء في السلطة

وارثي لكم يا ابناء عثمان

اضحكني من شدة حزني تباكيكم المحموم على دم عثمان، زيارتكم لضريحه العالي كلما "دق الكوز بالجرة" وكلما اراد سيدكم الامريكي-المتصهين خدمة دنيئة وكلما فقدتم القدرة على الاقناع بالحجة، فلجأتم للابتزاز العاطفي اللا-أخلاقي

معاوية ويزيد القابع في السراي

ابشركم انه لن تكون هناك لا صفين ولا جمل جديدة
لن تكون هناك كربلاء ولا اغتيال للحسين مرة اخرى

تراهنون على الجهل المجبول بالخوف من المجهول، ونراهن على ان المرحلة قد صقلت ابناء بلاد الشام وعلمتهم الدرس جيدا

تراهنون على الابتزاز العاطفي المجبول باحترامنا للاموات، ونراهن على ان قضية لبنان اصبحت قضية عالمية مفصلية هامة على طريق هزيمة الشر المطلق ومشروعه للشرق الاوسط الجديد، على طريق تحرير فلسطين والعراق و و و

تراهنون على حصان خاسر، خسر في عقر داره في واشنطن و تل أبيب، والرؤوس ما تزال تتدحرج

لكنكم لا تريدون، كاي مقامر خاسر، ان تصدقوا ان حصانكم قد خرج من الحلبة مهزوما

بؤسا لكم ولغبائكم

كل ما اعرفه ان سواعد من هزم "الجيش الذي لا يقهر" قادر على هزيمة مجموعة من المقامرين الذين خسروا انفسهم منذ مدة طويلة ، قبل ان يخسروا رهانهم

وهذا ليس خطابا طائفيا، فكاتبه سني يؤمن بالمساواة بين البشر. فدم عثمان، ورفيق وبيار ليس اهم من دم اي طفل يقتل يوميا في غزة او عين علق او كولومبيا او الكونغو.

فمن كان يعبد رفيق الحريري، فان الحريري قد مات. وقاتله سيحاكمه التاريخ ثم رب العالمين، وليس ميليس او براميرتس.

فكفاكم بهرجة وكذبا، وعودوا الى رشدكم ثم عودوا الى تجارتكم وادفنوا قميص عثمان مع عثمان، فقمصان شهداء بيت حانون ومارون الراس والفلوجة وكربلاء وعين علق ليست اقل قدرا وطهرا وشرفا

عندما يصبح يوم القدس العالمي مناسبة للاكل: اعدوا لهم ما استطعتم من حمص وفتوش

لا بد ان اسرائيل ومن وراءها من قوی الظلم والاستكبار قد اصبحت ترتجف الآن بعد الرسالة القوية التي ارسلتها "قيادات" الجالية العربية من سدني وفي اليوم العالمي للقدس. ولا بد ان اسرائيل وادواتها اصبحوا يحسبون الف حساب لجالية في استراليا تقوم قيادتها "الوطنية" بارسال هكذا رسالة قوية للقاصي والداني تضع النقاط علی الحروف. ولا بد ان اسرائيل وحلفائها في واشنطن ولندن وباريس وبرلين وكانبيرا وروما وووو يدرسون الآن كيفية الرد علی الضربة القاصمة التي وجهتها لها "قيادة" الجالية "الوطنية" في سيدني.

و"يا هم لالي" (عذرا من ابي عواد

فلا بد ان حكومة اسرائيل "عملتها في لباسها" بمجرد سماعها ان صحون الفتوش والسلطة كانت تتطاير في سماء سيدني "احتفالا بيوم القدس العالمي"، بينما كانت الجرافات الاسرائيلية تمعن في هدم بيوت القدس. ولا بد ان جيش الدفاع الاسرائيلي قد اخذ مواقع دفاعية متقدمة علی الجبهة، بعد ان وصلته اخبار "احتفالات قيادات الجالية الوطنية" في سيدني وتهديد اركان هذه القيادات بالويل والثبور لكل معتد اثيم.

ولا بد ان "اللي استحو ماتوا".

فبينما كانت شوارع العالم ترتج من اعداد المتظاهرين الملبين لنداء الامام الخميني رحمه الله للتظاهر تضامنا مع نضال الشعب الفلسطيني، كان اركان قيادة الجاليه "الوطنية" منهمكين بتناول ما لذ وطاب من لحوم وسلطات وفتوش. وبينما كانت منظمات المجتمع المدني في العالم تعد قضايا قانونية لادانة اسرائيل وتجريمها امام المجتمع الدولي، كنا في سيدني نعد شطائر البروغر والشاورما واسياخ المشويات. وبينما كان شرفاء العالم يحشدون امكانياتهم وجهودهم لتسيير اكبر قافلة برية لكسر الحصار الجائر علی غزة، اجتمعوا في سدني لحشد اكبر مجموعة من شهود الزور ليحتفلوا جمعا وقصرا وسرا بيوم القدس العالمي بطريقة "فنية" لم تخطر علی بال احد من قبل.

ندرك تمام الادراك ان هذا المجلس لا يعدو كونه فقاعة صوتية شكلت نكاية بمجالس اخری، بدعم سفارات وقنصليات اجنبية لاهداف في نفس يعقوب.
وندرك ان قياداته "الوطنية" لا تحمل فكرا او فعلا، ولا تعدو كونها افعال جامدة لا تتحرك الا بالضم او الرفع او التقسيم.
وندرك ان من يعرف عن هذا المجلس من ابناء الجالية الذي يدعي بتمثيلهم لا يمكن ان يزيد عن عدد اصابع اليد، في احسن الاحوال. ومن يعرف عن هذا المجلس، ان سالته عن حال مجلسه هذا، يضرب كفا بكف ويقول: "علی الدنيا السلام".

فمجلس لم يتعد دوره عن اجتماع شهري لبعض المتسلقين علی ظهر ابناء جاليتهم لشرب الشاي والقهوه والخروج ببيان ركيك يخالف قواعد الافعال والاسماء ولا يلتزم الا بادوات الجر.
ومجلس لم يتعد دوره مسح الجوخ لسفراء دول اجنبية وقناصل فخريين ونواب عنصريين، لا تجيد قيادته "الوطنية" سوی التطبيل والتراقص في الاحتفالات والمهرجانات والمظاهرات "الوطنية" وقنص الميكروفونات من اجل رفع عقيرتهم بكل باطل وتدليس.
ومجلس يراسه جاهل امي لا يجيد القراءة الا لتزوير دكتوراه لا يفصح في أي مجال حصل عليها ومن أي جامعة تمنحه دكتوراه قبل ان يحصل علی الاعدادية.
ومجلس يفشل في جمع "شلة" من اعضائه واصدقائه ليدافع عن السفارة التي انشئته عندما تعرضت للتظاهر من مجموعات فقدت عقلها ومنطقها وبوصلة اعداء امتها.
ومجلس يضم عشرات التنظيمات الوهمية، التي لا يمكن ان تجمعها الا مائدة مسح جوخ او حبك مؤامرات ولا تفرقها عن هذه الموائد الا "الشديد القوي" او المرض العضال او الموت الزؤام.

هكذا مجلس لا يمكن ان يخجل قادته بالاحتفال بيوم القدس العالمي علی مائدة افطار عامرة، لا تخدم هدفا نبيلا سوی مسح جوخ والتقاط صور مع سفراء ونواب وقناصل فخريين ومرتزقة انتهازيين.
وهكذا مجلس لا يمكن ان يقدم في مسيرة عطاء الجالية، سوی بعض صحون الحمص والفتوش، بلا فكر او موقف او انجاز.
وهكذا مجلس لا يمكن له ان يدعي قيادة جالية بحجم جاليتنا وحجم عطاءها وتضحياتها ومعاناتها.

طوبی لمجلس من قوی لا نعرف كم تمثل ومن تمثل ولمن تمثل وعلی من تمثل.
وطوبی لمجلس جل اهتماماته الظهور في صور مع السفير الفلاني والنائب العلاني، دون انجاز يذكر وعلی قاعدة "شوفيني يا جارة".
وطوبی لمجلس قياداته منتخبة بدون انتخابات ودستوره جاهز من قبل انشائه وبياناته الصحفية معدة سلفا قبل عقد اجتماعاته وانجازاته واضحة بدون ان يراها احد، حتی لو استخدم هذا الاحد ميكروسكوب فلكي او استعان بكل قارئي الفناجين في العالم.
وطوبی لمن لم يعد يستحي او يخجل من ابناء الجاليه المطالبين بنزول هذه القيادات من علی الظهور المتعبة.
طوبی لهذا المجلس، ولكن لا تسموه "وطنيا" ولاتقحموا اسم القدس بمسابقة للاكل او لالتقاط صور مع مسؤولين، اجانب او محليين.

وكل عام وصحون فتوش "يوم القدس العالمي" علی مائده القيادة "الوطنية".

The reasons behind Australian absence from Gaza free campaigns:Please donate to send strong contingent to Gaza

It is very strange that Australia is absent from international efforts to lift Gaza blockade for the last 4 years. Despite the many big mouths among politicians who remember just before elections that Gaza is under siege (especially in the Greens party), their representation in international efforts is nearly nil. All this despite the big resources they have in form of tax-payers money they get because of the increasing Muslims and pro-Palestinians voting for them.

On the other hand, the efforts by Muslim community and its “leadership” was not more than collecting some money and send them to other organisations who has presence in Gaza. Even the one Muslim organisation that has office and workers in Gaza, they are very “shy” to participate in international efforts to lift the siege.

In this instance we should differentiate between aid efforts and efforts to break the siege.

The first is not more than shy efforts to temporarily relieve the suffering of some Gazans by colleting aid and send it there to be distributed to needy people.

While the second is aiming to highlight the crime conducted against Gazans in form of the illegal and inhumane blockade. The organisations participating in these efforts are not aiming mainly to deliver aids. They aim to break the siege by creating momentum against the blockade.

So the difference is very big.

The Muslim and community organisations were engaged only in aid efforts. The reasons why they did not participate in breaking siege efforts are complex. Some of these reasons could be because the Muslim community is having such weak and increasingly corrupt “leadership”.

Other reasons are related to the above mentioned one that made the community feel very scared and targeted by the government and media, with no true leadership to defend them. They became happy only to donate some money to be sent through Australian organisations, as safe way to not be blamed of supporting Hamas and so supporting “terrorism”.

This is why we in the Social Justice network decided to break this cycle of fear and ghetto mentality by coming forward and declaring that we will this time support the break – the – siege efforts.

We need your help. Your donations will help us send strong message. At the moment, we have registered to send one activist and half van full of supplies to go to Gaza with Viva Palestina 5. We need your help to send another one or two activists and more supplies to Gazans.

To follow the progress of our efforts, money collected and the main donors so far, please go to our website www.socialjustice.net.au

Please participate in making history. And if you need more information, please give us call on 0404 47 272 and discuss with us any idea or enquiry that you may have.

Thanks and jazakum Allah khairan. Remember that Gaza people are not only defending their rights and land. They are defending humanity against the barbarity of the contemporary history. They deserve your small contribution to help them in this noble mission.

2010 Election: boring campaign with no real choices!

I never saw such boring election campaign for the last decade. Even the candidates are not putting the posters with their pictures in streets or on shop fronts. As if they are ashamed from themselves. And they should be, anyway.

There are few common features between the mainstream political parties:
1- There is no political party that runs on concrete achievements in parliament. All parties are making big promises, as if they are not in parliament for decades.
2- There are no actions, stunts or big announcements. There are only boring media conferences and releases.
3- The Multiculturalism and all related issues are not mentioned by any party, regardless of its own classification of its degree of progressiveness. As if racism and Islamophobia has not reached high degree to the point that a candidate had questioned the right of fellow citizen to run as candidate only because he is a Muslim.
4- The high degree of lying and deception coming from leaders of all three mainstream media-made parties. The last deceptive “promise” came from the Greens leader who promised to spend 4 billion dollars on dental care if he will be elected. He had the courage to insult our intelligence thinking that we do not know that senators like him can block or pass legislations, but cannot produce and implement one.

It can be claimed comfortably that this election is really about nothing: no real choices, no real alternatives and no real solutions. So the voters will choose between the bad and the worst.

The leaders of these media-made parties are talking about their “vision” to find solutions for issues, as if we are living on mars.

The Labor, who has three years in government, could not fix any inherited trouble. The health system is on brink of collapse, the rental crises had reached unbelievable level with accommodation shortages of more than 200,000, the racism and Islamophobia became so endemic and the public transport is in big chaos.

But the voters cannot forget the black era of Liberals in government, which inherited Australia with all these troubles in funding public services, attacks on multiculturalism and all other troubles in the society.

And the Greens leader runs on no one concrete achievement except blocking progressive legislations, promoting anti-family values and leading a pure white racist party. He still has the courage to smile and make claims that his party is the only progressive party in parliament.

Now, let us examine why a Muslim or new migrant Non English speaking would vote/not vote for this party or that.
- The Liberals are extremely racist with deep xenophobic agenda. Their leader does not hide his racist and Islamophobic ideas and commitments.
- The Labor, while less racist, but has no courage to enforce real change in society to reverse the devastating policies of their Liberal predecessor. While they stopped the official attack on multiculturalism, but they did not take any real steps to counteract existing racism and Islamophobia. No changes were introduced to fix the inhumane welfare system. And no real big investment in public education, public health and public transport.
- The Greens has nil achievement on any front, and we need any shred of evidence to prove the opposite. Not only this. The Greens has very poor track of achievement on any issues important for Non English speaking and Muslims. Enough to mention that the party lacks any colour in hierarchy and parliamentary teams except the White.

The most amazing feature of this election is the fact that the media is only talking about 3 political parties. As if there is no other political parties or prominent independents run for election anywhere in Australia. And this would explain why there are no real campaigns or even media stunts. It seems that the media, especially the regressive Murdoch and other corporate media, have their own agenda of promoting only these parties. And one wonders why voter is in deep trouble to decide who to vote for.

Despite the insistence of media to shape the election result according to their well-known hidden agendas, other political forces are existing. And they are growing steadily, even without media focus.

With all these media attempts to brain wash us, I think that the result will be different of what they are promoting. My expectations are:
- The Labor will win with comfortable majority.
- The Greens will not increase its primary vote comparing to the last election, if will not lose some. Depending on luck, they may keep their current representation. But definitely they will not increase their representation significantly to the point of winning senate seat in every state.
- The Greens most likely will not win Melbourne seat, despite the retirement of Labor sitting minister.

We think that Australian politics is in standstill at the moment with three mainstream parties that have no big or real differences. And we think that while the changes in Australia is very slow for many reasons, but deep changes to the system will emerge within the next decade.

But for now we should stress that any pro-multiculturalism element in society will put the Liberals and the Greens last on ballot papers in this election. While the Liberals were vocal racists, the Greens were practically racists.

The only bright side in this election will be the fact that we will most likely see the first Muslim federal politician elected to the parliament. The Labor party should be proud of this achievement.

Maybe this would be the only achievement Labor can be proud of.

The Greens and the “Balance of Power”: when will Greens endless lies end?!

The media love it: the Greens will win the balance of power by the end of this election.

No detailed analysis. No detailed information. And no tracking of origin of this cheap unfounded rumor.

Let me do now some detailed analysis on this issue. By the end of this analysis, I will claim safely that without extraordinary luck, the Greens will not increase their current representation, if they will not lose one.

The origin of this cheap rumor is the same old “guy”: Sen. Bob Brown.

I heard this cheap unfounded rumor back in 2001, just before the election. At press club address then, he claimed that the Greens will win 5 senate seats. He was lying. And he was enjoying making this lie. And we were enjoying believing this lie. At that time, the Greens was getting in the opinion poll less than 5%. The quota for the senate seat is 14.5%. At that time, no indication that the Greens will win any senate seat, except in Tasmania. But he made the biggest lie. Ms Kerry Nettle was elected on 4.5% of primary vote. She won her seat after the Greens done a dirty secret deal with xenophobic One Nation party. Without such dirty deal, the Greens would not have won any more than Tasmanian seat.

Bob Brown felt no shame to manufacture such big lie. On the contrary. He immediately made similar lie just one year later. Before Victorian state election, 2002, he announced that the Greens will win at least 5 Upper House seats and at least 3 Lower House seats. Again, he was lying: the Greens won no one single seat at that election.

After that, the veteran liar became notorious to launch lie after lie. The last election, 2007, Sen. Brown expected that the Greens will win 7 senate seats and at least 3 seats in parliament. He even named: Grayndler, Sydney and Melbourne. At that time, the Greens were getting 12.5 – 13% of the vote in all opinion polls conducted in the course of election. But on election day, the Greens got around 9% in senate and less than 8% in parliament.

By the end of the election, the Greens got only 3 senate seats: two of them were won with high luck on preferences with less than 9% of primary votes. So in reality, the Greens won only one senate seat with full quota (i.e. with no big luck).

So where Sen. Brown was getting all his confidence that his party will win 7 senate seats? He even predicted to win senate seat in ACT. After election night we knew that the Greens candidate was not even near winning seat there. But Sen. Brown predicted that they will win seat there. This is what we would call “plain lying”. If we want to be more diplomatic, we can call it “deception”.

Well, Sen. Brown, the veteran liar, is trying to deceive the voters again in this election.

The latest opinion poll put the Greens on 12%. So the popularity of the Greens is not higher than the last election (most definitely will get less than last election as according to newest opinion polls compared to opinion polls before last election).
The Greens call it “wrong prediction”.

Now the Greens is adamant they will win lower house seats: at least one. But they may get 3: Grayndler, Sydney and Melbourne.

Can we mention here that Grayndler in the 2007 election was one of the safest Labor seats in Australia with Labor winning on 55.47% primary votes and 71.19% after preferences distributed (they did not need any preferences anyway). The same with Sydney seat. The Greens got then less primary votes than Liberals. So if there is any threat on Labor candidate (and there is no indication of such thing so far), it would come from Liberal candidate, not the Greens.

Well, with the current opinion polls results, we can make different prediction than the Greens leader. The Greens mirage of getting any lower house seat is far from any reality. On the senate front, no one can predict the numbers of seats the Greens will win. But the numbers will be less than what Sen. Brown is talking about.

Not only this. With Nick Xenophon on the senate. And with possibility that his team will get another one. We can easily predict that the balance of power will still be shared by more than the Greens. The same as what was happening before 1998 election: 9 Democrats senators were not enough to control the balance of power without independent senator Brian Harradine.

On the other hands, the Democrats with 12.5% of primary votes in 1990 election could not win more than 5 senators. With the Greens prediction to get less than 9% in senate, we can expect easily that the Greens need a miracle (not only good luck) to increase their representation.

When a party claim to be “alternative” and “progressive”, they should follow “clean politics” of not deceiving voters. Even if the Greens will increase their representation this election, they already lost their high moral grounds as clean politicians.

The question remains: why journalists are taking information from Greens without asking the difficult questions about its reliability. What happened to investigative journalism in this country?

Our reply to Greens Islamophobic remarks attacking Mulsim community

We cannot believe that amid election campaign, any political party active member (and candidate for several times) can come up with the crap included in Marlene reply. I deeply believe that it is not her words, but were dictated to her by the Greens hierarchy.

In the reply, the most disgusting parts are the parts that refer to the Muslim community as the root of all problems of this nation. She described the Muslim community as naïve, uneducated, regressive and need to be taught how to live in this country.

Any reply to Marlene disgusting words would need several separate articles (and we will do), but here we would mention only few facts to “educate” Marlene and her “progressive” Greens party about the issues mentioned in her reply:

1- The Muslim community is very diverse community. Any generalisation is something not only naïve, but regressive and show islamophobic ideas and suggestions.

2- The Muslim community is one of the most progressive communities in this country. We need to mention here that very few Muslims are voting for the openly regressive political parties (Liberals, One Nation, Family First, Christian Democrats,…). This is even before the Liberals started the attack on the Muslim community after 11 September 2001.

3- The Muslim community played significant role in the rise of the Greens to play role in the Australian politics and to come out from the wilderness of Tasmanian forests.

In regard to the other misleading information disseminated by Marlene, we can mention:

1- As Marlene said, we need to judge politicians by their record, and not by the policy of their party on the official websites. On this regard we can safely assume that the Greens politicians have the worst record on achievements or on sticking to policies, worse than any other politician in this country.

2- The official policy of the regressive Liberals is the same as the Greens: to establish Palestinian viable state on the territories occupied 1967. The same policy they share with Australian Labor party. And we can go even further. It is the same policy of Kadima Zionist party. But what the Greens have achieved or how much their politicians sticked to these policy is the important issue.

3- The Greens record of opposing Zionist state of Israel is the worst in Australian politics. The Greens party is the only mainstream political party that:

- Failed to send any solidarity mission to Middle East, especially Palestine.

- Has the largest Zionist representation in its parliamentary teams and hierarchies.

- Failed even to properly condemn the aggressions committed by Israel in the last decade. Their media releases in this regard is the shortest that always equalise of responsibility of “acts of violence” between the aggressor and the victims (and we need to see if Marlene has some media releases that prove the opposite).

- Has no Muslim, Palestinian or Multicultural elements in the parliamentary teams or hierarchies.

In regard to preferences, Marlene is telling us that if the local group decided to preference One Nation (and the Greens did such deals before), so it would be acceptable? What a total crap. This would lead us to another more serious question: how can voters trust such party that can change its course from far left to far right to the centre, by decisions of few members? Would not these members and local groups be disciplined if they go stray and creep to the far right?

Let me tell Marlene and her hierarchy: before you ask the Muslim community to vote as whole community only the Greens (and this incident never happened in any society around the world), The Muslim community needs to ask few questions:

1- What did the community get from the Greens in return of its loyalty in the last decade?

2- How can the whole community trust such party that has no track history of supporting the issues important for the community? Not only this, but the party is not guaranteeing that it would honour its commitments and policies, because few local members have decided to take the party to the far right?

I would add another vital question: on which basis Marlene and the Greens are asking the Muslim community to vote only for them? What shared ideologies both have? On the opposite. The Muslim community, which is a very progressive community with deep conservative social values and ideologies, can be expected to share no one single values with the Greens which has “total liberal” social agendas. The total liberal values of promoting prostitution, abortion, homosexuality, drug abuse … are opposed by almost every Muslim community member, regardless of his/her commitment to the religion itself.

The Greens should have showed more respect to a community that showed high degree of political pragmatism to vote for ideological opponents. The Greens think that the Muslim community who was under constant attack for the last decade, has no other options but to vote for the Greens to punish Labor. The Greens is very short-sighted to realise that a big community like Muslims, have a lot of options. We tried to send the Greens such message in the last few years. But their blind approach to simple pragmatic dealings, is preventing them to see the whole picture.

And it is our job to show them again in this election that marginalised communities have a lot of options: not only either vote for Labor or the Greens.

The Greens started the campaing by attacks on Muslim community by spreading Islamophobic claims and accusations

The Greens has started their election campaing by viscious attack on Mulsim community. Here what Greens "many times" candidate and active member needed to say about how the Muslim community is "naive, uneducated and regressive". Full detail of our reply to her islamophobic accusations and remarks will follow.

Here is her words:
"States Greens & National Greens are always having debates on policies. Debates also depend on the make up of the Greens, the more the conservative members, who are more incline to champion the "environment & global warming" debate, the more reformist and conservative the party becomes.environment & global warming" debate, the more reformist and conservative the party becomes.

* In regards to preferences. Local Greens have a say on who to direct their preferences to, they can also leave the decision to the central office. However, not all the time the direct preferences. In the end is up to the Voter to make the decision, and the direction of the preference is only a recommendation. Many local groups leave it up to the voters.

The Labor party also have anti-zionist individuals, but the unfortunately the Caucus rules and this is very mu ch in the hands of right wing, pro-zionist elements. So called left Labor party members are wasting their time in the Labor party.

*By the way, the number of occasions I have handed "How to Vote" I have noted many Muslims holding a "How to Vote" from the Labor Party & rejecting any other. If in Blaxland we have a right wing Labor MP is thanks to the many votes received from the Muslim community.

*Grassroots Education & Information: The community in general, and the Muslim community in particular, needs to be informed & educated about the australian political system and politics, and how the Labor Party is a pro-Zionist, pro-War, pro-USA party and no matter what, they should never cast a vote for them."

Burqa debate: Muslims should be alert and alarmed

While we were not bothered when Fred Nile proposed his private member bill about banning burqa, but things have changed dramatically now.

Now the debate became bigger, louder and uglier. And all failed politicians had agreed to debate the “issue”.

But we should ask vital questions here: would wearing burqa qualify to be considered an “issue”. Not only this.

An ordinary NSW resident should ask whether the NSW politicians are living in the same state as we do. Or perhaps they are so ignorant that they do not feel that the state is living in very depressing time.

I, as NSW resident and not as Muslim, would ask our politicians (including Fred Nile) few questions:
1- Do you think wearing burqa is the reason why we have critical shortage of electricity and banning it would stop the repeated blackouts of many suburbs?
2- Do you believe that burqa was behind the rental crisis and would banning it make accommodation more affordable?
3- Do you think that banning burqa would eliminate social problems that devastate families in the state? Would banning burqa solve drug abuse, prostitution, homelessness, gambling addiction, …?
4- Would banning burqa create one job for the increasing numbers of residents who lost their job in the last few years or could not get one in the last few decades?
5- Would banning burqa makes public transport run more regular and safer, waiting list in emergency departments in public hospitals shorter and waiting list for public housing significantly shorter than the current 20 years?

And finally, would banning burqa makes Australia safer, more prosperous, less racist and more tolerant and have better international reputation to play greater role on international arena?

We, as human rights group, hesitated to put media release on this issue because we thought that common sense would prevail in our parliament. But we were wrong. And because of the growing feeling of insecurity, social isolation and distress among Muslims in the state, we needed to voice our great opposition and concerns.

We deeply believe that the politicians in the state parliament had failed miserably to find any solution to the great chaos they left us all in. And now they will be resorted to populist politics of fear, xenophobia and social division.

And for Rev Fred Nile, we would like him to spend more time advocating love and tolerance. Unless he did not read the Holy Bible yet.

Rev Nile need also to stop lying. There is no intelligence or security report that document that burqa is seriously threaten our safety and security. But there are thousands of documented reports about the threat of drug abuse, gambling, prostitution … etc constitute to our social and economic security.

He (and the other failed politicians) obviously chose to make this issue his/their main election platform. And we will counter match him.

Bob Brown’s press club address: what about Multiculturalism?

It was not the first time I listen to the Greens leader, Sen. Bob Brown. And I am used to his empty rhetoric. I am used to his deceptive claims. And I will mention in details examples of many of these deceptive claims and lies. But today was different.

I thought that he, and his party, became more mature and inclusive. But they did not disappoint us. The Greens is still the same old Greens: one - issue and one - colored party. For I hour address, Sen. Brown failed to mention Multiculturalism even once. Not only this. The audience was very white, with no single non Anglo-Saxon present at the address.

And when Sen. Brown started to name his party achievements, these were all about: same sex marriage, euthanasia and forests clearing. Nothing about growing attack on Multiculturalism and growing racism in the society. And nothing about the very low representation of marginalized groups of migrants, non-English speaking, indigenous people and people with disabilities. Also there was nothing about progressive foreign policy, important for majority of new migrants and refugees.

For this we tell Sen. Brown and his white “Greens” party: shame on you!

In a decade where the attack on Multiculturalism is the biggest issue, Sen. Brown is demonstrating that he and his party is still living White Australia era. Or maybe they are living on other planet. As if:
- The attack on boat people is not an attack on Multiculturalism and a bid to spread racism in the society.
- The “population” debate is not an attack on Multiculturalism.
- The participation in “war on terrorism”, occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq is not an attack on Multiculturalism and bid to spread Islamophobia.
- Attack on public services and welfare system is not an attack on new migrants and Multiculturalism.
- The northern territory intervention is not a racist attack on the historical and human rights of indigenous communities.

Despite the fact that Sen. Brown failed even to mention Multiculturalism, but could still claim arrogantly that he and his party is “progressive”. As we mentioned before, we believe that “actions are louder than talks”. We would not be so offended of Sen. Brown’s failure to mention Multiculturalism if the Greens did take steps to show their commitments to Multiculturalism. But the history track of the Greens is so shameful in this regard. And you need only to Google the names and pictures of Greens MPs around the country to discover they are from single ethnic background: White Anglo-Saxon.

Going back to the press club address, we can mention many observations on the conduct of Sen. Brown:
1- He was very proud of his party’s role in the biggest waste of common wealth, ie the so called “stimulus packages to waste billions of dollars on bogus projects. We are not against “wasting” common wealth, but on true nation building projects. These projects could include injecting billions of dollars into public housing to ease the critical rental crisis.
2- He was adamant that the Greens will control the “Balance of Power” in the coming senate. Well, if the latest opinion polls would be compared to the opinion polls conducted in the last Federal election, the Greens would need very good luck to maintain the current representation in the senate. There is good chance with the popularity of the first woman as PM combined with the obstructionist approach by Liberals – Greens alliance, that the voters could lean more away from the Greens.
3- Sen. Brown admitted that he made several deals with the previous regressive PM Howard, after short negotiation on cup of coffee. He is referring to the deal struck between him and Howard over full privatization of Telstra. The Greens retreated from the deal after the huge backfire against the Greens and the mounted huge public backlash. This is confirmation that vote for the Greens in this coming election could end up a vote for the extreme Tony Abbot. Sen. Brown was not shy in praising Tony Abbot and talked about him nicer than Liberal members do.
4- Sen. Brown and his party tuned down their rhetoric about asylum seekers debate. The official policy is that the Greens is opposing to mandatory detention system altogether. But the Greens leader and all other senators are talking about more humanly treatment of detainees, only. They are only against long detention, offshore detention and the high cost of this long detention. Nothing is mentioned for the last 2 years about the need to abolish this highly inhuman system.
5- While Sen. Brown described Labor and Liberals as “regressive right” forces, he stopped short from claiming the Greens to be “left”. And this is good indication that he does not want to upset the traditional historical figures inside the Greens who know very well that they are not lefties.

After this poor performance, I am not sure how new migrants and people from minor ethnic and religious groups would consider to continue voting for this one-coloured group who even fail to mention the word “Multiculturalism”. Let alone claim to have commitments toward it.

We are happy that Sen. Brown is not considering resigning soon. We want him to stay until the true face of the Greens fully exposed to voters. This needs continuous work from true progressive forces to join their force and present alternative real progressive politics to voters.

The story of Greens MP Lee Rhiannon: lies, deceptions and conspiracies against all rivals

While the story of the Greens politics in general is mixture of lies, back flips, ideological emptiness and opposition for the sake of getting more votes only. But the story of Lee Rhiannon is the worst case in that camp.

Ms Rhiannon had given very bad example about political career empty of any real achievements or any principled stances. It was all about power accumulating, with no agenda of socio-economic changes.

Ms Rhiannon started her political career as Stalinist. But with the collapse of the Soviet Union and loss of platform, she chose to join the Greens. Inside the Greens and after losing the ideological grounds, she decided to change her skin and run for animal rights. She started to camp outside slaughterhouses and butcheries against killing animals or keeping animals in cages. Nobody knows how for someone who was member of Stalinist group and did not bother about Stalin butchering millions of Russians and Soviets, would accept this dramatic change. That was the first back flip.

Then and because all her campaigns outside zoos and slaughterhouses could not attract her any serious attention, she decided to run desperate campaign on the rights of marginalised groups to be equally represented. But she chose to campaign for one marginalised group: White Anglo-Saxon women rights. Her desperate repeated campaigns succeeded in changing the Greens constitution to introduce articles about the necessity to take all steps needed to promote women to parliaments. These changes and desperate campaigns won her spot in the Greens tickets for the 1999 NSW election. And she won a seat as MLC on the agenda of increasing the representation of White Anglo-Saxon women in parliaments. But when many Greens members tried to broaden the understanding of the Greens of the needs of other marginalised groups who has no representation in parliaments (Indigenous, Non-English speaking, people with disabilities) she counteracted all these attempts by her teeth and claws. She was even caught saying that language is not a barrier for integration and so not a reason for marginalisation. The same was her views about indigenous marginalisation. And that was her second big back flip. Such back flip that saw departure of majority of Indigenous, non English speaking and Muslim members after they have realised that all the noise of the Greens empty rhetoric on the rights of marginalised, was only just slogans for electoral agendas.

Before that and in her desperate bid to get rid of her strong rival and historical figure in environmental movement, Ian Cohen, she led a campaign to stop him from being elected again in 2003. She ran ruthless and vicious campaigns to impose limited tenure for Greens parliamentarians of 8 years. She made desperate allegations that staying in politics for long time will corrupt politicians. But her ruthless campaigns failed and Mr Cohen was re-elected, 2003. After that everyone inside the Greens and outside it thought that she will honour her commitments for limited tenure of politicians and she will not seek preselection after her 8 years in politics expired on 2007. Again, she upset everyone and proved that she has no principles to stick to. She ran for 2007 election and continued her political career beyond the 8 years proposed by her earlier. Recently and after running for federal election, she claims in her leaflet that she has “decade of experience in parliament” (no more talks about power corrupting politicians!)

That was her biggest back flip, but she did not care.

Examples of smaller back flips are countless.

Ms Rhiannon run very big campaign about the politicians increased privileges and allowances. But at the same time and after government and Liberals opposition would pass legislations to increase privileges (which is not compulsory privliges, i.e. politician can still save tax-payers money and refuse to use these privileges). Instead, Ms Rhiannon would use all her privileges to the last cent available. Example of this is the free $40 lunch on tax-payers money. She ran mad campaign to portray such legislation as evil and huge waste of tax-payers money. Since the introduction of this legislation, Ms Rhiannon would have free $40 lunch everyday she is at parliament.

Then she ran very vicious campaign advocating transparency and “clean politics” away from politicians’ abuse of their privileges and available resource funded by public tax-payers money. Now we know that she abused these resources and privileges funded by tax-payers money (Brown calls on Greens state MP to resign: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2010/s2948755.htm).

My piece here mentioned just few big clear back flips committed by Ms Rhiannon. I would not go into her back flips on political promises that she never kept or honoured. May be this would be subject for another opinion piece.

Imagine that the Greens are seeking you to vote for such politicians as an alternative for the major two parties. Can you spot any difference? Or the question should be who do you think is worse?

I, definitely, would not vote for such politician that has such history of making all these lies and deceptions and back stabbing of even “comrades” in the same party.

Australian political parties: where is our voice!

I would like today to shout very loud: enough is enough.
I would like to whisper in the ears of our politicians: no one of you is representing me.
And no one of you represents my fellow new migrants from non-English speaking countries. And no one of you represents our indigenous people.
And no one of you is representing our citizens with disabilities, with physical ones at least.

And shame on you and your parties.
You should be ashamed of yourselves very deeply, especially the ones amongst you who arrogantly claim to be “progressive”.

For us, progressive means to allow us to voice our concerns, our opinions on problems WE face and come up with solutions we think they suit us.

But instead, you have appointed yourselves as guardians on us.
We know that guardians usually appointed when person do not has capabilities to make sound judgment. And usually person cannot make sound judgment for one of the following reasons:
1- Person is not mature enough.
2- Person suffers from symptom not allowing normal development of brain.
3- Person suffers from deep mental problems.

We do not know where you classify us (all members of marginalized groups).

I have strong feeling (from previous close experience with many of you, especially the ones who claim to be progressive) that you think we are not mature enough. This immaturity is coming because we do not have blonde hair, blue eyes and clear Australian accent.

You think that we, as previous citizens of dictatorships, cannot understand your democracy. And because of this we cannot understand your political system.
And because of that, we do not deserve to even be heard, given chance to show our performance or even to give you some ideas about how do we feel.

You think that if we step into politics, we would be stepping into unknown to us territory (because of our retarded undemocratic mind).

You think that because we do not speak clear Australian language, we are immature and cannot understand democracy designed by you.

Our White Anglo Saxon politicians: did you ask yourself what do we think about your enforced-on-us guardianship?

Did you ask yourself how do we feel about your insistence that you understand OUR problems more than we do?

Did you ask yourself if we want you to teach us how to suffer, how to struggle, how to resist and how to overcome?

Did you ask yourself how do we feel about your solutions to our problems, or at least to problems that mainly concern us, our suffering and obstacles put by you to prevent us from getting our rights in full?

Well, our fellow “progressive” White Anglo-Saxon politicians: as you do not care about our feeling, we need to ignore your idea about how we should feel about you and your progressiveness (if it would be qualified to progressiveness).

You need to ask yourself: do we understand why you oppress us, abuse our feelings, disregard our outcries and insist to treat us as inferior species?

Yes, we deeply understand.

You are not only closed-minded racist politicians. But you are so concerned that you will lose your tight grip on power. Such grip that lasted for more than 2 centuries, since your ancestors invaded this country.

Yes, you are so vulnerable and insecure.

And I will add to your vulnerability and insecurity: we are coming. And we are growing in numbers. And we are shaking ground under your feet. And we are taking away, step by step, the power that you have accumulated.

And we are not worried. We will defeat your racism. We will defeat your discrimination. We will defeat your repeated vicious attacks on us and on our cultures. We will defeat your control on our lives. And we will win.

But:
We thought that you as “progressive” forces, you will make this transition more peaceful, less painful and have less devastating consequencies.

We thought that you as “progressive” politicians will join us hand in hand in our fight to get our voice in the decision making bodies heard.

We thought that your “progressiveness” would mean to step back and push us into front line to resume the fight for OUR rights.

But we are discovering that all talks about your “progressiveness” are no more than cheap deceptions and lies.

You claimed to be “progressive” only to deceive us so that we vote for you. Then you will find suitable-for-you solutions to our problems and suffering.

You claimed to be “progressive” just to enter the election auction with higher bets by claiming moral ground over your rival political parties.

And at the end, your solution for our suffering and problems was very easy: keep shutting your mouths, as we are talking on your behalf.

And you know very well that our sufferings are vital for you to continue abusing them and keep the power in your hands.

Well, our fellow White Anglo Saxon politicians (both progressive and regressive): you do not represent us. You do not speak for us. You do not understand us.

So, please climb down our backs.

And please try to learn: learn from us something different. Please try to learn to give us some space. Please try to learn to respect our difference. Difference in understanding. And differences in needs. And difference in thinking.

You need to understand one thing: our time is coming.
But please do not make it more painful. Move on and vacate space for us.

We need our voice, and we will get it: sooner or later.

How to get The Greens’ attention to Gaza blockade?

Do you want to get the Greens to act promptly and demand the immediate lift of Gaza blockade?

Then we need to convince the Greens that:
1- The majority of Gaza residents are homosexuals and Israel is imposing the blockade because they (Israelis) are homophobes.
2- The drug addicts in Gaza cannot get their needs of drug freely and easily because of the blockade.
3- There is critical shortage of needles needed for drug addicts to have safe shots of drug.
4- There is shortage of prostitutes in Gaza, where Israel and Egypt is not allowing free travel of prostitutes in and out of the strip.
5- There is critical shortage of contraceptives and drugs to induce abortions.
6- The blockade is allowing Israel to hunt whales freely in Gaza waters without permission from Palestinians.
7- The blockade is preventing importing sustainable energy technologies to the strip.
8- Most of Gaza residents are blonde green-eyed English-speaking Anglo-Saxons.
9- Hamas government is in fact part of the Greens movement and they have agreed to sign Kyoto protocol.
10- Gaza residents are mostly hippies that never have shower for the last 3 years, in a bid to save water consumption.

No more comments, unfortunately.

Reflection on yesterday’s rally: satirical contradictions for obvious reasons!

While yesterday’s rally was called to protest against horrendous crimes against international activists outside Gaza waters, it witnessed very “funny” (mostly satirical) contradictions.

The first extremely satirical thing to the point of collapsing on the floor of the Sydney Town Hall is the content of the Greens MLC speech. Ms Sylvia Hale and her Greens party had just discovered yesterday that Gaza strip is under blockade. And only yesterday, Ms Hale promised to speak up against this blockade. One would, rightly, ask where these party politicians live. Are they living on the same planet as all of us? Do not they watch TV (any TV station, even the regressive Murdoch press) to discover that Gaza is under complete blockade since early 2007?

And to be fair to Ms Hale and her party, we should mention that they promised (after they woke up recently) to come to rallies and make verbal undocumented promises to speak up against this blockade. All this despite the fact that they did not issue so far any written media release about this issue.

The second contradiction was more satirical. The far left socialists and communists were marching hand in hand with the far right Fateh movement (supporters of the traitors in Ramallah). Both were happily walking side by side, shoulder by shoulder, flag by flag and voice by voice condemning Israeli aggression. And both were exchanging words of complementary praisings.

The crowd was also incredibly satirical. The Turkish nationalists were mixing with Turkish socialists. The Hamas supporters were enforced to hear Fateh representative, and they clapped their hands. The circumstances needed such “unity”. The religious crowd were enforced to hear socialists’ rhetoric. And the clever people were enforced to hear stupid ones.

The speakers were the funniest contradictions. From the far left to the far right. From the far opportunist through the far ignorant. And in this chaos, we heard one only good speaker: Andrew Ferguson, CFMEU secretary.

All these contradictions were permitted at this rally, each for own reasons.

For politicians, it is election time. The Greens would not mind to declare joining Al Qaeda if this will give them some more votes. At the end of the day, the rally and all what happens at it is no more than a deceptive phonetical phenomena. Politicians can always claim that the media misinterpreted their speeches, if they need to get more votes from Anti-Palestinians.

For the expired community “leaders”, it is an important event to declare that they are still alive and able to say few words that the crowd wants to hear.

For the imagined ideologies that died long time ago, it is an opportunity to jump and celebrate their imagined “resurrection”.

For the dominant oppressing ethnicity (in this case the White Anglo-Saxon), it is an extra opportunity to prove that they are democratic and are feeling with the oppressed feelings of sadness and anger.

And for the oppressed communities, it is a chance to feel “equal”, even if the equality is just to be equal listener, but not equal actor.

The worst satirical contradiction is the complaint by oppressing ethnicity that some sections of oppressed communities behaved outside the red lines drawn by them (by oppressing ethnicity), when large section of Muslim community started to go their own way and chant their own chanting when they started to feel that the rally was hijacked. At this time and because the oppressed communities dared to be bored, the oppressing ethnicity declared that the oppressed communities in fact have hijacked the rally by not listening carefully with full silence to the messages of verbal condemnations and solidarity.

Thank you for being so patients with our boredom and please forgive us to hijack your election bazaar. But remember that we are still grieving for the last century, and we need some space and respect. We love your solidarity, but when it is invited and welcomed. Not when it is “despite our noses”.

The Greens try to hijack social justice campaigns: undemocratic moves to silence criticism and to hide truth.

Yes, I am proud that I heckled the Greens MLC yesterday over her lies about the Greens commitments to oppose Israeli barbaric actions. And yes it was deliberate and calculated action, and not coincidental.

I know that the Greens are extremely unhappy about this. The Greens wanted us to be silent, swallow their lies and then clap hands and go home satisfied that there are some politicians who listen to us and feel our sadness.

But yesterday I (and many community members) felt that enough is enough. This political prostitution should be stopped and end forever.

First of all and for all Greens (and no Greens) members who think that heckling politicians are undemocratic and uncivilized, I should mention here that in fact we learnt this tactic from the Greens. Their whole rise of popularity was a result of heckling all rival politicians they can.

Yesterday, Greens members were extremely unhappy with me heckling party MLC and branded me to be “uncivilized” and following “undemocratic” procedures. Well they should go and tell their hierarchy that in the last 30 years the Greens were uncivilized and followed “undemocratic” procedures.

The Greens are very good on political prostitution. When the “uncivilized” and “undemocratic” ways benefit them, they branded it as exercising of “freedom of speech” and “political campaigning to inform public”. But when it exposes their political opportunism and political prostitution, they branded it as “uncivilised”.

Very interesting party.

Let us go back to the issue of why I heckled the Greens MLC today.

The Greens yesterday has exercised extreme degree of shameless hypocrite conduct I ever met with. The Greens party had the courage to attend rally opposing the Israeli massacre, even though the party until now (and I mean until now and for the next ten years) did not issue one media release condemning this action. Even the Liberal party was more progressive on this issue by issuing media release and had Julia Bishop (who is very regressive politician) quoted on the media saying that the violence is regrettable and demanded “credible” investigation by Israel. The Greens did not have this courage yet even to follow the footsteps of the Liberals. But the Greens had the courage to come to the rally and spread all lies of opposing Israeli barbaric actions. And when I heckled them, the Greens party (which is infamous of the ability to change colour and tone and come up with lies after lies without stop) came up with the biggest laughable mockery that the Greens politicians will put a motion in the NSW parliament to condemn Israel.

What a shame without limits.

The Israeli crime is an international crime that needs strong motion in the FEDERAL parliament, not in local parliament. And the Greens have 5 members of FEDERAL parliament.

The Greens members in the crowd wanted me to be “democratic” and stop heckling the Greens member because I am not giving her the “democratic” right to lie on us. I remind them that democracy means that she has the right to speak and spread lies, but at the same time we have the right to speak and express our disgust at this cheap lies.

But the Greens democracy is a ONE WAY democracy. It is either “you are with us” or “your are undemocratic”.

Not only this. The whole rally was hijacked by the Greens party and its puppet “imagined organisation” that made decision on the speakers without any democratic decision making process. The Coalition for Justice and Peace in Palestine (CJPP) (I will write separate article about this imagined organisation that infact was my idea before I realise that we are serving the Greens and not the Palestinians struggle), decided to enter the election campaign to promote lies about the Greens unsubstantiated and unrpoven commitments towards the Palestinian struggle.

Well, the Greens and the CJPP yesterday were shamelessly trading with the blood of innocent people for cheap election propaganda. Both were auctioneering every drop of these angels blood that fell trying to end the Gaza siege in exchange for tens of votes in the next election.

Well, the first question to be asked by every listener yesterday was: why the Greens party (who was shamelessly branded by the CJPP MC as the long time supporter of Palestinian cause) did not demand in the last 3 years and immediate end of Gaza siege? Not only this, why the Greens party was the only parliamentary political party who until today did not send any of its parliamentarians for a solidarity visit to Palestine? Why the Greens party refused to participate in any of the solidarity visit, including declining the invitation send to the Greens party 2002 to lead solidarity and fact-finding mission to West bank after the massacres of Jenin and Nablus.

Yesterday the Greens party and its branch founded to deceive Palestinians and pro-Palestinians voter (CJPP) tried to oppress us from speaking up against lies. We were speaking yesterday against Israel, as the Greens party is a strong supporter of Israel if we carefully investigate the true facts (and we will release these facts soon). And we will do all in our best to keep these heckling to expose this evil party of mainly opportunists and Zionists.

Let us ask one question at the end: imagine that a homosexual (or drug addict) was shot by Iranian police during pro homosexual rights (or pro-drug abuse rally) in Tehran, would the Greens party be silent for three days? Would the Greens party restrict it action to putting a shy motion in local parliament? Or would the Greens do all in its power to turn the world upside down!!!

The Greens and their puppet imagined organisations (and there are few of them there on other issues, and we will write about them very soon) are highly condemned yesterday for tow sins: try to shut up democratic heckling. And other sin is for their bid to trade the blood of tens of innocent persons with votes to secure election of another opportunist regressive politician.

We are committed to continue our activities to expose these acts of political prostitution by all means. And we are very creative in doing this.

The Greens should respect their teachings. For the last 3 decades they did not achieve any real change in society but heckling every rival politician. And they should expect that other rival politicians will follow their tactics. This is for us a democratic and fair process.

And in Arabic we say: if you do not like it, you can hit your head against the nearest strong brick wall.

One last question: why the regressive Murdoch media suddenly is highlighting every Greens activities as if they encourage voters to vote for them? This question needs separate analysis soon.

The solution for the Tasmanian political deadlock

With the “traditional” negotiation between political parties in Tasmania has failed to reach any workable solution, the Tasmanian politicians need to examine “non-traditional” way to solve this dilemma.

Before we go deep in the “non-traditional” solution, let us examine the political situation there. The Tasmanian new parliament is composed of 25 seats: 10 Labor, 10 Liberals and 5 Greens. The traditional solution for such situation is to form a minority government by either of big parties enters a deal with the minor party (the Greens).

But with the stiff refusal of the Liberals to negotiate with the Greens for “principled reasons” (despite the Greens repeated tries to beg meeting with the Liberals to negotiate forming a coalition government with the Greens), the only other option was for the Labor to enter an agreement with the Greens. But with the Greens refusal to accept one ministerial post and the refusal of the Labor to offer the Greens more posts, the impasse had one “Greens” solution. The Greens solution is to let the Labor pre-election government continues functioning with no majority in the parliament. But this government would be very fragile and would collapse soon in the face of the first important issue to be debated in the parliament.

In other countries and when there is political or economical instability, the big parties usually come together to form a government of “national unity”. And because Tasmanians now are in deep political instability, the only workable solution is to form a government of national unity.

The solution works by forming a government of 50 – 50 Labor – Liberals where the cabinet will have equal numbers of Liberals and Labor ministers. The issues of premiership could be solved either by rotating the post between 2 premiers each 2 years. Or it could be reached by appointing première and deputy première with equal authorities.

By doing this the democracy will be partially transferred from the parliament to the cabinet. And when there is very divisive issue, they could take it to the parliament to be decided by all politicians, including the minor party’s representatives.

By doing this the Tasmanians will have more stable government. And if we recall historical experience of minority government when both the Labor and the Greens entered accord 1989, the government was very instable that it collapsed after 3 years. Not only this. Both parties that entered the accord lost heavily in the following election, where Liberals won the government and Greens lost 4%. And this is why the Labor is not keen to do this again.

The solution of forming “government of national unity” will give good stability for the Tasmanian government, until the following election happens where one of the big parties could secure majority in the parliament.

Few people think, falsely, that the failure of either big party to secure majority on its own right is because of the surge in the Greens vote. This false impression came to the mind of people because of all this noise in the Greens camp to paint a picture that we are witnessing Greens revolution in Australia. Close study of election results’ statistics could easily revealed that the Greens vote and representation was not significantly higher than the Greens vote in 2002 election (18.1% comparing to 21.3% in 2010 election). But at that time (2002 election), Labor could convince more Liberals’ voters to keep voting for Labor as a better government. This year’s election, the Liberals could not convince enough voters to abandon the Labor and vote for change of government. And the Labor government could not convince enough of its voters to keep voting for it. So the move of votes was in fact between the Labor and Liberals, and not towards the Greens. What makes this more realistic is that an election at the same date in South Australia could not see surge of Greens revolution their.

We know now that any coalition government between the Greens and any of either big party would end disastrously bad, to both sides of such coalition. Exactly as what happened in 1989.

A government of national unity would see both major parties compromise their minor differences. And that is more stable than living or working with the empty rhetoric the Greens would all of us to hear.

Liberals – Greens proposed Coalition: Voters need to be both alert and alarmed!

Bravo, bravo, bravo and million bravos.

It is confirmed by the Tasmanian Greens leader and the Australian Greens leader: the Greens is seeking coalition government with the Liberals.

In politics, we understand that forces entering coalition arrangement would have policies, vision and ideologies in common. In this instance let us ask the Greens leaders how close they are with the Liberals on:
1- Pessimism on acknowledging the global warming issues.
2- The eager to clear the Tasmanian forests, and every forest in Australia.
3- Selling public assets to multi-national corporations regardless of the devastating impacts on Australians lifestyle.
4- Locking up children, women and men for indefinite times in detention centres.
5- Destroying public education, public health and public housing.
6- Invading other countries of Iraq, Afghanistan and possibly Iran and Syria.
7- Promoting Islamophobia and racism in the society and introducing draconian “Anti-Terrorism” laws.
8- Alliance with far-right Christian groups who wants to bring Australia back to dark ages of Crusades.
9- Anti gays and anti drugs policy.

And we will not accept any lies and deceptions from the Greens leaders and hierarchies, anymore. They are seeking entering far-right government that will bring Tasmania to its knees on all above mentioned issues of principles.

The Greens will say that they are doing this to pacify the extreme nature of the Liberal party in Tasmania. On this issue let us explain to the readers how the things work in any coalition government: the cabinet will meet, discuss proposals and then vote on adopting the proposals before putting these proposals to the parliament for vote. And with Greens getting only one or two ministerial posts, they can argue and argue against: clearing Tasmanian forests, selling local hospitals and schools, cutting funding of community projects,…etc. But at the end of the day, the vote will be in the side of the Liberals (who has the majority in the cabinet).

Doing this would mean that the Liberals will claim, rightly, that these devastating decisions were taken with the Greens support.

We believe that the Greens in other states, other than Tasmania, will vend more lies and deceptive claims that the Greens are uniquely a federation of independent Greens parties and groups. They will tell us lie after lie about the no support of the NSW Greens or Victorian Greens of such devastating move.

As if we have forgotten that the Victorian Greens has struck similar deal with the Liberals in the 2006 state election. And at that time, the Greens leader Bob Brown arrogantly and shamelessly tried to lie on us and said that such a deal was a “rumour” launched by the environment minister, Peter Garrett.

And we still did not forget that the NSW Greens also tried to strike a deal with the Liberals in the state election, 2007. At that time, the Liberals were more principled and refused to strike a deal with a party that “promote drugs’ abuse”. The Greens denied the move and branded it to be a “rumour” again.

And before that the Greens struck deal with the far racist One Nation party in 2001 Federal election. The deal that saw Ms Kerry Nettle elected to the senate. And the Greens is still denying this deal and calling it “rumour”.

This time the Greens cannot deny the “rumour”. It was confirmed by Bob Brown and Nick McKim. And they were proud of it. It was broadcasted by all media outlets.

We are sure that Tasmanians did not vote for this. They voted for the Greens to stop the regressive policies and lack of actions on issues that matter. Now the Greens will participate in making more regressive policies and moves.

The Tasmanian election and its aftermath should ring very alarming bills: be aware of the Greens lies and deceptions.
The Tasmanian election aftermath demonstrates that Greens does not have neither ideology nor clear politics. Hence the voters should be very alarmed and alert.

The Tasmanian election aftermath means that the voting for the Greens in the next federal election definitely means voting for the Liberals. And anyone who is conceding voting for the Greens should know that infact they are voting for an extreme right government lead by the extreme new conservatives Tony Abbot and Phillip Ruddock.

Anyone voting for the Greens in the next Federal election should be aware that they are voting for:
1- Government that will re-play the race card, which would definitely means detaining innocent people including children and women indefinitely.
2- Government that is supported by the far-right new-conservatives that will support promoting Islamophobia and division in the society.
3- Government that will sell what have left from public assets to multi-national big corporation.
4- Government that deny existence of global warming and consider taking any steps to reduce emission as a waste of public money.

While we are not surprised by Greens seeking alliance with the far right forces (as they did it before several times as I mentioned above). But for now we are saying very loud: shame on the Greens for deceiving voters by entering coalition with the far right Liberal party. And soon we will campaign to expose the Greens’ deceptive claims of being “alternative progressive” force.

And after deceiving its voters (environmentalists, gays, pro-abortionist, pro-refugees rights,…) we want to ask simple question: who can buy the Greens lies anymore in the future?!

After Tasmanian election aftermath we declare from now that in the next Federal election the Greens will be last on our preference list. The same as what we did in Auburn local government election 2008. At that election we cost the Greens a seat there.

Open letter to our PM: why resorting to racism and Islamophobia to win next election?

Dear Hon Kevin Rudd, our PM
Yes, we have noticed that the election is approaching fast. And we have noticed that you have panicked and so resorted to the easiest way to stick to power: play on fear from unknown “terrorism”.

You have not provided us with any shred of evidence that a terrorist attack is imminent. All what you have told us is that there were many Muslims who were convicted of “terrorism-related” crimes. Many credible human rights watchdogs have deep concerns about the transparency and fairness of these trials and believe that the convictions were due to the media circus and public frenzy your government and previous government have produced.

Mr Rudd
We are very ashamed of you, your attorney general and minster for foreign affairs. You have put your interests to win election ahead of Australia’s interests to enjoy good relationships with 10 countries around the world. And we did not recover yet from the shameful wide coverage worldwide about Australian racist attacks on Indian students.

Mr Rudd
You have quoted anonymous security agencies to spread fear and frenzy in the society. The same happened under your predecessor, when he quoted the same agencies to spread lies about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction. Then we have learnt that these reports and information were manufactured to give your government good excuses to invade sovereign nation and destroy it totally.

That was not the only time the security agencies, especially ASIO and Federal Police, had made such wrong moves to serve incumbent government. They did it in the case of Dr Mohamed Haneef.

After that, how can we trust you or your security agencies, who only depend on secret reports and investigations that not available to public?

What has made our trust very weak in you and your security agencies is the hypocrisy in dealing with similar matters in different ways. We assumed that the security agencies are on high alert since 11 September 2001. This has resulted in discovering “terrorist” thoughts and dreams communicated between angry persons of policy of aggression conducted by your predecessor against all Muslim nations. But at the same time, these agencies are standing impotent to finalise security checks of refugees or new migrants. Otherwise, how on earth it took the security agencies more than 4 years to reach conclusion that Mrs Lina Hamdan is not a terrorist and does not having terrorist thoughts and dreams? I can give you hundreds (if not thousands) of similar cases where your security agencies had failed to finalise Form 80 (security check on terrorism-related issues) in less than 2 years.

Mr Rudd
You have failed us. You have failed multiculturalism. You have failed Muslim communities. You have betrayed your voters who voted for your government seeking change. The only change you have introduced is that you can change your colour more easily than your predecessor.
What makes things worse is that you have failed the same communities that have trusted you and voted for your party, historically. We can understand that John Howard did not care about the feelings and interests of new migrants or Muslims, as they are not traditional voters of the Liberals. But for you to play race and Islamophobia cards, it is deeply offensive and disappointing.

We have been betrayed also by the other party who usually gets a lot of our votes. We are watching with deep concern and disappointment the complete silence of the Greens on this particular issue. The Greens also had got a lot of Muslim and pro-multicultural votes.

We could not believe that the regressive racist Liberal party politicians will stand up to expose these lies and deceptive claims. We thought that the ones who claim to be progressive should have stood up and questioned your motives in launching these lies.

Mr Rudd
Your move today has spread fear, uncertainty and social division. Instead of working to breakdown the many barriers and obstacles built during your predecessor, you have built some more.

Mr Rudd
We cannot believe that for you to cover up some of your bungles during wasting our common wealth, you chose to make more destructive moves. It was enough that you have wasted around $2 billions in dodgy insulation program. You should not have created more division and fear that will need another couple of billions of dollars to face its impact.

Mr Rudd
We are ashamed of you, your government and your Labor party. And we are waiting for the election to let you know about our feelings.

زمن العار العربي بقيادة مصرية: رحمة الله عليك ابا خالد


عندما تصبح الخيانة شيئا يمكن التفاخر به والتباهي امام العالم بارتكابه

عندما يصبح الانبطاح تحت البسطار الاسرائيلي المخضب بدماء آلاف الشهداء اللبنانيين والفلسطينيين والمصريين، شيئا لا يدعو للخجل بل ويقف اكثر من مسؤول في هذا النظام العربي او ذاك ليقول "اننا احرار" في انبطاحنا هذا حتی لو كان علی حساب تجويع شعب غزه باكمله وصولا الی افنائه خدمة لعدو الانسانية

عندما يصبح تشافيز وغالاوي واردوغان اكثر عروبة واسلاما وانسانية وشفقة علی معاناة شعوب المنطقة من قادة اغنی و اكبر دول فيها

عندما يصبح تهريب مواد غذائية وادوية وحليب اطفال وملابس الی غزة تهديدا لامن اكبر الدول العربية، بينما تهريب المخدرات والايدز والدعارة والجواسيس ونهب الثروات من غاز ونفط .. يعتبر نوعا من "ضرب الحبيب زبيب" حسب نصوص معاهدة كامب دايفيد الاستسلامية المذلة

عندما يصبح ابو الغيط ناطقا رسميا للعدوان اللااخلاقي واللاانساني الوحشي علی غزه، بايجاد المبررات لهذا العدوان واعطائه غطائا سياسيا من اكبر دولة عربية خلال العدوان الهمجي الاسرائيلي علی غزة، بينما يطرد الرئيس الفنزويلي والبيروفي السفراء الاسرائيليين لدی بلادهم

عندما يحدث كل هذا في وطن عربي بحجم واهمية الوطن العربي الذي حولته القيادات العربية الی دول اقل اهمية من جزيرة كوبا او جزر الكناري، فان هذا الوطن يكون قد دخل في زمن العار المطلق وغياب الوعي والاخلاق والضمير

والا فكيف يجرؤ ابو الغيط علی الاستخفاف بعقولنا وشعورنا وتاريخ نضال شعبنا وتاريخ نضال شعب مصر الأبي، فيسترسل في اطلاق تصريحاته الهوجاء والتي وبكل المقاييس هي "بلا لون ولا طعم ولا رائحة". فمرة هو حر في قتل مدنيي غزه ببناء الجدار الفولاذي الذي يشاء هو ورئيسه ولو علی جثث آلاف اطفال غزة المحاصرين. ومرة هو يتفهم مجازر اسرائيل التي جاءت ردا علی صواريخ حماس "العبثية". ومرة هو لا يتبع تعليمات "الشيخ نصرالله" بضرورة فك الحصار وله الحرية الكاملة بتكسير ايدي وارجل اطفال غزة ان تجرؤوا وطالبوا بحليب اطفال او كتب للدراسة. واخيرا فهو غاضب لان متظاهرين اجانب تركوا اعمالهم واشغالهم في بلدانهم وسافروا الی مصر للتضامن مع اهل غزة المحاصرين، فقرر ان "يلقنهم" درسا في عدم ضرورة مخالفة اوامر اسياده الامريكان والاسرائيليين

يطالعنا النظام المصري بكل هذه الترهات والتعديات علی ارواح مئات آلاف البشر في غزة، في نفس الشهر الذي شهد مولد الزعيم المصري والعربي والعالمي الخالد، جمال عبد الناصر. ويبدو ان الصدفة هي خير من الف ميعاد للمقارنة بين مشروعين ونظامين نقيضين

فمشاهدة ابي الغيط يتشدق بكل هذه الترهات يعيدنا وبكل احاسيسنا وعواطفنا الی الزمن الذهبي لعصر ابي خالد

فنظام ابي خالد كان يفاخر بانه نشط في "تهريب" السلاح والمال وكل مقومات الصمود لكل الشعوب المضطهدة، من الجزائر الی فلسطين وانغولا واندونيسيا وكوبا. بل وكان يعتبر هذا التهريب جزءا من مسؤولية اخلاقية وانسانية اتجاه مضطهدي العالم

ونظام ابي خالد كان ناشطا في معارضه كل اشكال الظلم حول العالم ويؤمن بان تضامن الشعوب المضطهدة هو خير وسيلة لمقاومة الظلم باعتبار ان الامبريالية موحدة في توحشها من اجل استمرار رؤوس الاموال والشركات العابرة للقارات في نهبها لخيرات شعوب العالم

ونظام ابي خالد كان يدرك ويعلن علانية ان القضية الفلسطينية هي قضية محورية في مقارعة الاستكبار العالمي. هذا الادراك الناتج عن الفهم العميق عن اسباب ودوافع انشاء "دولة اسرائيل" في وسط منطقة اكبر انتاج للنفط في العالم، من اجل استمرار عسكرة المنطقة ونهب ثرواتها بدواعي تحقيق الامن عن طريق مبادلة النفط مقابل اسلحة تارة "ستستخدم" للدفاع في وجه اسرائيل وتارة من اجل غزو بلدان المنطقة بعضها بعضا

ونظام ابي خالد كان واضحا في تحديد من هو العدو ومن هو الصديق. فامريكا ومن لف لفها من دول غربية ما تزال تحلم بالتفوق الابيض الغربي واحقيته بالتالي بالتمتع بالثروة والرخاء، لا يمكن ان تكون صديقة لاي شعوب مكافحة من اجل الاستقلال من الاستعمار والذي معظمه ابيض ناصع البياض

ما يدهش الجميع هي الصراحة في مجاهرة اركان النظام المصري وزبانيته في التفاخر بخدمة المشروع الصهيو-امريكي وانهم احرار في سفك دماء اطفال وشيوخ ونساء غزه من اجل تحقيق الاهداف الاستعمارية

رحمة الله عليك ابا خالد عندما حولت مصر الی دولة قادرة علی "تحويل دول من الدرجة الاولی الی دول من الدرجة الثانية والثالثة"، بينما اشباه الرجال من بعدك استطاعوا ان يحولوا مصر من دولة قائدة الی دولة لا تستطيع اتخاذ قرار كم جندي تستطيع ان ترسل الی شبه جزيرة سيناء، دون اخذ موافقة اسرائيل

رحمة الله عليك ابا خالد عندما اثبت ان مصر هي "ام الدنيا" ومركز محوري في قيادة العالم، بينما من جاء بعدك حول مصر الی "ام اسرائيل" بعد ان تبنتها في معاهدات كامب دايفيد المذلة

رحمة الله عليك ابا خالد بعد ان اعلنتها صريحة بان "ما اخذ بالقوة لا يسترد الا بالقوة"، بينما عملاء امريكا واسرائيل في قاهرة المعز يعلنون ان المقاومة لعنة يجب معاقبة من يريد ان يمارسها ولو بحفر جدار فولاذي بعمق ٣٠ مترا تحت الارض كرمی لعيون مجرمي تل ابيب وواشنطن

رحمة الله عليك ابا خالد، وعلی زمنك الذهبي، زمن "ارفع راسك يا اخي فقد ولی زمن الهزائم

ندرك ان ظلام الليل لا يمكن ان يستمر الی ما لا نهاية وان نور الفجر لا بد قريب

نرفض استجلاب الديمقراطية العشائرية الی استراليا


ما ان كتبت مقالة انتقد فيها تصرفات احد الذين قفزوا علی ظهورنا وظهر جاليتنا الكريمة لعقود من الزمان ونصبوا انفسهم "قادة" لنا ولجاليتنا، بالرغم من اننا لم ننتخبهم ولم يستشيرونا في هذه المسالة المهمة، حتی قامت الدنيا ولم تقعد. فما ان نشرت لنا العنكبوت الالكترونية مقال ينتقد ممارسات السيد جمال الريفي علی مدی العقد الماضي، حتی انهالت علي وعلی صاحب العنكبوت مكالمات من كل حدب وصوب بعضها معاتب وآخر مرعد مزبد مهدد لنا بالويل والثبور ان لم نعد عن "غينا" ونعتذر عما ارتكبناه من "هجاء" لصاحب الظل العالي

لم يزد ما كتبناه في ذاك المقال عن نقد موثق لتصريحات مهينة بحق ابرياء هربوا من ظلم اوطانهم اطلقها السيد الريفي ووصفهم فيها بالمهاجرين غير الشرعيين وانه سيعمل من خلال نشاطه في اللجنة الاستشارية في وزارة الهجرة علی وقف تدفقهم لمنع تخطيهم للصفوف. وذكُرنا القارئ بالمواقف السابقة للسيد الريفي والتي كانت في مجملها معادية لمصالح الجالية وابنائها، كدليل علی الاجندات المخفية التي جاءت بالسيد الريفي الی اللجنة الاستشارية وهو لا يعرف في قضايا اللاجئين الكثير. والا فكيف يقفز السيد وزير الهجرة عن خبراء في مجال اللجوء والهجرة والهجرة غير القانونية من امثال د. محمد الجابري او المحامية عبير حمدان او وغيرهم من العاملين في هذا المجال ليعين السيد الريفي؟

المثير للاشمئزاز هو سيل الانتقادات التي وجهت لنا لاننا تخطينا كل الخطوط الحمر في نقدنا العلمي الموثق لكل ما ادعيناه من سلوكيات للسيد الريفي. بل ان بعض المعاتبين من "قيادات" الجالية غير المنتخبة قد خرج عن ادبيات الديمقراطية ولياقاتها ووجه لنا كلمات لم نستطع الا رفضها ومواجهتها بالحجة والمنطق والدعوة للاحتكام للعبة الديمقراطیة وآلياتها المعروفة

ما خضناه خلال الاسابيع الماضية كان وصمة عار في جبين كل من يدعي التنطح لقيادة الجالية واعادة للجالية الی عشائرية بغيضة حسبنا اننا طوينا صفحتها بمجرد وصولنا الی هذا البلد الجميل وانغماسنا في لعبته الديمقراطية حسب اصولها

خلال الاسابيع الماضية اكتشفنا لماذا ما زلنا كجالية نتخبط في مشاكلنا ومآسينا لا نعرف لها حلا

فقيادات الجالية غير المنتخبين والذين سمح الكثير منهم لانفسهم "بسحل" الجالية الی مسلخ الحكومات العنصرية، والذين فعلوا ذلك علانية وعلی رؤوس الاشهاد وامام كاميرات التلفزيونات الاسترالية والعالمية دون "احم او دستور" ودون مشاورة احد من الجالية، طالبونا ان لا نكتب أي نقد حتی نستشيرهم وناخذ الاذن منهم

وقيادات الجالية التي لم ينتخبها احد، تساءلت "بحزم" عن الجهة التي اعطتنا الحق بالدفاع عن الجالية والوقوف ضد كل من يحاول سحلها وجلدها من اجل تحقيق اجندات سياسية لاحزاب باتت معروفة. فمن اعطاهم الحق بتمثيلنا "رغما عن انوفنا" ثم اعطاهم الحق بالمشاركة في سبنا وقدحنا وانكار انجازاتنا كجالية لا ندري لماذا لا يعطينا نفس الحق في التمثيل من اجل الدفاع عن انجازاتنا وحقوقنا الديمقراطية

حيرنا منطق هذه "القيادة". فمرة يزاودون علينا بضرورة السماح لمن هب ودب ان ينتقد الجالية ويكيل لها كل اشكال الذم والقدح لان ذلك هو مربط فرس الديمقراطيات الغربية التي يحق فيها لاي انسان بانتقاد ايا كان، ان التزم بشروط النقد الايجابي البناء البعيد عن التطاول والتجريح والتجني غير القائم علی دليل. وعندما نقوم بنفس العمل بتوجيه انتقادات لبعض المسيئين للجالية، نواجه بالقدح والذم والتجريح وبسؤال عمن اعطانا الحق في ممارسة حقوقنا الديمقراطية

نؤمن ان الديمقراطية الاسترالية يجب ان تطبق علينا جميعا بغض النظر عن اصولنا او أي عادات ورثناها عن قبائل داحس والغبراء

ولذلك فقد قلنا لكل من اتصل بنا معاتبا او مهددا ان للديمقراطية سيفا مسلولا لمنع الفوضی ايضا. فالسيد الريفي له الحق كاملا بالطعن بما سقناه من انتقادات له ولسلوكه المعادي للجالية. وقد شرحنا لهم ان للسيد الريفي حقا اما بالرد علينا بمقال يبين فيه رايه بالانتقادات التي اوردناها والبينات التي تثبت ارائه. كما ان للسيد الريفي الحق في رفع قضية امام المحاكم ان كان يعتبر ان ما سقناه من آراء ما هو الا اكاذيب للتشهير به

وقد فاجئنا السيد الريفي انه يرفض الانصياع لمتطلبات الديمقراطيات الغربية وانه يفضل العودة الی ديمقراطيات عشائر داحس والغبراء وحل الموضوع عن طريق عقد صلحة عشائرية تنتهي بتبويس لحی و"يا دار ما دخلك شر

ان ما يؤسف في الموضوع برمته هو استفحال ازمة القيادة في الجالية، والتي تعززها في كثير من الاحيان ممارسات الحكومات الفيديرالية والمحلية المشجعة لديمقراطية العشائر داخل الجالية

فالحكومات الاسترالية مسرورة جدا من تولي اميين واشباه اميين لقيادة الجالية، يكون من السهولة بمكان السيطرة عليهم وتوجيههم لخدمة اجنداتها، بدلا من خدمة اجندات جاليتهم. كما ان تولي هؤلاء لقيادة الجالية سيبث الياس والقنوط في صفوف مثقفي الجالية ويدخلهم في متاهات الصراع من اجل انتزاع حقوق الجالية مما سيؤدي بالكثير منهم الی الاستسلام والجلوس في منازلهم علی مبدأ "وهل يصلح العطار ما افسدته الحكومات

رفضت طوال حياتي حتی قبل الوصول الی هذا البلد الجميل وبشدة الاحتكام لديمقراطية العشائر والجلوس امام زعماء القبائل انتظارا لانهاء الخلافات بتبويس لحی. وما زلت ارفض هذا المستوی الرجعي في معالجة الامور، وخصوصا المهمة منها

ومن لا يعجبه، فعليه اما ان يلجأ للديمقراطية الاسترالية او للعودة الی مضارب داحس والغبراء واستدعائي الی مجالس "حق العرب

ندرك ان الحضارة الانسانية يجب ان تتقدم الی الامام دائما، وليس العكس. وبالرغم من اننا لسنا ضد حضارة احد، الا اننا لن نسمح ان نكون وسيلة لاخذ الحضارة الی الوراء وصولا الی عار داحس والغبراء

واللبيب من الاشارة يفهم

بعد ان حصل علی الكثير من الجوائز، فان الدكتور جمال الريفي، وهو طبيب من ضاحية بيلمور، قد اضاف جائزة ايفي الفنية الی مقتنياته من الجوائز العالمية. وقد استحق السيد الريفي هذه الجائزة كاحسن ممثل في المسلسل الطويل "قدح المسلمين - كل يغني علی ليلاه

ويعتبر السيد الريفي بطل في الفوز بهكذا جوائز – مفاجئات. فقد حصل السيد الريفي العام الماضي علی جائزة من مفوضية حقوق الانسان وتكافؤ الفرص لاسباب لم يقتنع بها حتی مانح الجائزة. كما فاز السيد الريفي بجوائز عدة من منظمات محلية، كجوائز الصحف المحلية وجوائز البلديات. كما فاز السيد الريفي مؤخرا بجائزه من منظمة اسلامية لم يسمع بها معظم المسلمين، ولاسباب لا يمكن ان تقنع طفلا رضيعا. ويبدو ان الخطوة القادمة ستكون بادراج السيد الريفي بكتاب جينيس للارقام القياسية لحصوله علی اكبر عدد من الجوائز التقديرية باقصر فترة زمنية منحت لاتفه الاسباب غير المقنعة حتی لمانحيها

وبعد حصول السيد الريفي علی الجائزة تدفقت كلمات التاييد لهذا الفوز من كل حدب وصوب. فقد صرحت رئيسة الولاية، السيدة كريستينا كينيلي، بانها تؤيد حصول السيد الريفي علی هذه الجائزة بشدة. وقالت ان افضل دور قام به السيد الريفي هو دوره كمتسلق للجبال عندما عبر ممر كوكودا التاريخي. "لقد كان مؤثرا جدا في هذا الدور. انه يتمتع بقدرات تمثيلية هائلة تجعله يغير من ادواره واماكن تمثيله. لقد كانت قدرته علی الانتقال من تمثيل ادواره في بيلمور الی تمثيل دوره في جبال كوكودا قدرة هائلة علی التكيف مع التغييرات الدرماتيكية في كل ظروف العمل الفني

اما رئيس الوزراء الاسبق جون هاورد، فقد خالف السيدة كينيلي الراي بقوله "ان اعظم دور قام به السيد الريفي هو دوره كحكم يلبس شورتا ازرق وفانيلة ذهبية وخضراء ويحمل صافرة في فمه ليخرج كرتا احمر ويرفعه بوجه جاليته ليخرجها من الحلبة السياسية. لقد عشقت دوره هذا. لقد استطاع التمثيل بالرغم من معارضة الكثيرين من ابناء جلدته وبالرغم من ان دوره قد اساء لجاليته كاملة

وفي شوارع بيلمور فقد كان التاييد لمنح السيد الريفي هذه الجائزة الفنية المهمة ساحقا حيث اكد ابناء منطقته المسلمين ان قدرة السيد الريفي علی تغيير جلده هي قدرة فائقة لا يوازيها به احد

وقال علي، احد سكان المنطقة المسلمين، انه وعلی الرغم من كراهيته للسيد الريفي الذي مثل في احدی الحلقات كناشط ضد حزب الله ولكن فانه لا يستطيع ان يقلل من امكانيات السيد الريفي. "لقد كان يجب ان يفوز السيد الريفي باكثر من جائزة لهذه القدرات التمثيلية الخارقة، حتی لو كان فيه الكثير من التعديات علی الجالية ليؤمن مصالحه الخاصة

كاتب هذا المقال وصلته معلومات شبه مؤكدة بان قيادة حزب العمال في شارع سوسيكس ما زالت مشغولة لاسابيع تناقش الخطوة القادمة. وقد رشحت المصادر بان قيادة الحزب تبحث في انشاء منظمة جديدة مهمتها الوحيدة اختراع جائزة جديدة لمنحها للسيد الريفي. ولكن فان زعماء الحزب ما زالوا غير مستقري الراي علی اسم المنظمة او طبيعة الجائزه قيد الاختراع، خصوصا وان كل جهودهم قد استنفذت من اجل منح كل تلك الجوائز للسيد الريفي علی مدی العامين الماضيين

وما زال الكثيرين في الجالية يتساءلون عن سبب منح السيد الريفي كل هذه الجوائز خلال العامين الماضيين
وقد غمز بعض الخبثاء في الجالية من هذه الزاوية و تساءلوا بتعجب ان كان المسلسل الطويل قد انتهت فصوله او ان هذه الجوائز ما هي الا محاولات لتلميع السيد الريفي ليلعب دوره التالي في حلقات المسلسل القادمة

ويجدر ذكر ان كاتب المقال لم يتصل بالسيد الريفي للاطلاع علی رايه بالموضوع، وذلك لاننا جميعا ندرك الاجندات المخفية وراء كل هذا الاستعراض الفارغ. ولكننا نامل صادقين ان تكون الادوار القادمة للسيد الريفي اقل تدميرا علی الجالية الكريمة

هذا المقال كان عبارة عن قطعة ساخرة متشائمة كتبها حريص علی الجالية وشؤونها. ويمكنكم ابداء ارائكم عن طريق الاتصال بالكاتب

جمال الريفي يتفرغ لمعالجة الهجرة "غير الشرعية": "لم يبق في الخم الا ممعوط الذنب


واخيرا خلع السيد جمال الريفي القفازات والروب الطبي واربد وارعد وتوعد. ولا بد ان الذعر قد دب الآن في قلوب مهربي البشر، وطالبي اللجوء من عرب وعجم وبربر ومن والاهم من ذوي السلطان الاكبر

فاليوم اعلن السيد الريفي وبكل جراة انه قد استقال من عضوية الهيئة الادارية للجمعية الاسلامية اللبنانية للتفرغ لحل مشكلة لاجئي القوارب من خلال عمله ضمن الهيئة الاستشارية للهجرة

هذا التصريح الذي لا بد انه الآن في طور المناقشة المستمرة في كل عواصم العالم الذين اعيتهم الحيلة والوسيلة لوقف تدفق طالبي اللجوء وبمئات الآلاف من دول انهكتها الحروب والمحن

وكاننا لا نعرف ان هكذا لجان وهيئات استشارية ما هي الا خطوات رمزية من باب "ذر الرماد في العيون" لاضفاء شرعية علی الاجراءات التي تعتزم الحكومة اتخاذها، وانها لا تخيف لا مهربي البشر ولا نمور التاميل او حتی نمور زيمبابوي. بمعنی آخر، فان عمل هذه اللجان ما هي الا نوع من خدمات "شهادات زور" مقدمة من اعضاء اختارهم الوزير بدقة وعناية ليقدموا توصيات متفق عليها مع الوزير وعاملي مكتبه وان أي مقترح ستاتي به الهيئة قد يكون مخالفا لتوجهات الحكومة وسياساتها لن يكون مصيره الا الی سلة المهملات

لكن السيد جمال الريفي الفرح لهكذا منصب، ولو كان رمزيا خال من أي صلاحيات علی مبدا "فشخرة ولو علی خازوق"، مصر علی ان يصور دوره في تلك الهيئة وكانه دور مركزي يعتمد عليه انقاذ استراليا من مصيبة محتمة. ولذلك فان الريفي اعلن استنفارا كاملا لقدراته وطاقاته من اجل عدم التاخر عن مهمة "خطيرة" بهذا الشكل. وهو لتحقيق التفرغ التام لوقف زحف طالبي اللجوء لم يجد مفرا من الاستقالة من "قيادة" الجمعية الاسلامية، للتفرغ لقيادة الاساطيل الاسترالية لوقف زحف فقراء ومضطهدي العراق وافغانستان وسريلانكا وفيتنام وفلسطين!!!

ولذلك فقد اعلن الآن انه سيخلع "الروب الابيض الطبي" ليلبس بزته العسكرية ويقوم بنفسه بقيادة الاسطول الاسترالي المرابط امام داروين وآشمور ريف ليمنع الغزو المحتمل لهؤلاء "الصعاليك" من "المهاجرين غير الشرعيين" لشواطئنا الجميلة

وهو معتاد علی هكذا مسرحيات هزلية تذكرنا بمسرحية "شاهد ما شفش حاجة" في تعامله مع ذكائنا ومشاعرنا

فبالامس خلع الريفي روبه الطبي ولبس شورتا وتي شيرت ووضع صفارة في فمه ونزل الی الملعب رافعا كرتا احمرا ليخرج جاليتنا كلها من الملعب الاسترالي، تحت مسميات مختلفة منها وضع حد "لتجاوزات" المفتي الهلالي الذي لم ترق معارضته المستمرة لغزو العراق وافغانستان وفلسطين ولبنان لحكومة جون هاورد الرجعية بكل المقاييس، فقرروا اسناد مهمة التخلص منه (أي من المفتي السابق) الی السيد الريفي. ليضربوا عصفورين بحجر واحد: التخلص من انتقادات الشيخ الهلالي الحادة ورفع وتيرة العنصرية ومعاداة الاسلام للفوز بفترة حكم اضافية

وبعد ذلك خلع الريفي روبه الطبي مرة اخری ولبس قفطان محامي ليدافع عن اسرئيل في وجه "ارهاب" حزب ﷲ الذي قد يكون وصله اموال من الجالية عن طريق مفتيها السابق الشيخ الهلالي

ان فاتورة المواقف والخدمات التي قدمها السيد الريفي لعنصريي الحكومات الاسترالية المتعاقبة قد دفعت سلفا، وباقي الفاتورة يبدو انه متفق علی دفعه قريبا. فالسيد الريفي كان قد كوفئ علی خدماته بمنح مالية طائلة لتلميعه امام الجالية، ومنها اموالا لمشروع تدريب منقذين مسلمين علی الشواطئ الاسترالية. هذا المشروع الذي كرس انعزال الجالية ودعی لتوسيع هذا الانعزال بين الجاليات الاخری بانشاء فرق انقاذ يونانية واخری ايطالية..... وهكذا دواليك، وعلی التعددية الثقافية في استراليا السلام

كما تم اسباغ الكثير من الالقاب والاوسمة علی السيد الريفي ومنها وسام من مفوضية حقوق الانسان منح للسيد الريفي في نفس الحفل الذي تم فيه منح الصهيوني العنصري جيريمي جونز وسام حقوق الانسان من نفس المفوضية. هذه الاوسمة التي تعتبر من "عدة الشغل" لاسباغ مصداقية لافعال السيد الريفي التي تصب في مصلحة الحكومات العنصرية التي فازت علی معاناة الجالية وتخويف المجتمع منها

ان تصرفات السيد الريفي الدون كيشوتية بارساله بيانات صحفية علی انه قد جمد كل نشاطاته وانه علی وشك اغلاق عيادته من اجل التفرغ لعمله في الهيئة الاستشارية، هو محاولة اخری لاضفاء جو من المهابة والجدية علی هذا المنصب الفخري المفرغ من أي محتوی حقيقي مقدما. هذا المنصب الذي سيدفع كل افراد الجالية اثمانه غاليا علی شكل مواقف مخزية من اعتداءات تحضر لها الحكومة وتريد لها غطاءا "عربيا مسلما" قبل الانتخابات المقبلة

ان افعال وتصرفات السيد الريفي تعتبر وبحق مسخرة فيها الكثير من احتقار لذكائنا ومشاعرنا. والا فلماذا هذا الاصرار من السيد الريفي علی التصرف علی طريقة دون كيشوت، الذي اراد ان يرسم لنفسه امام خادمه صورة الفارس الشجاع الذي هزم جيشا جرارا، بينما وفي الحقيقة فانه كان يقاتل عاصفة رملية

وفي هذا المقام نحبذ من السيد الريفي ان يكون عقلانيا ويضع الامور في نصابها الحقيقي حتی لا يضطر فيما بعد للنزول عن الشجرة العالية التي تسلق عليها واعلن انه "مهم" و "مستشار" للوزير، بعد ان يكتشف كل من سمعه ان منصبه لا يعدو كونه شاهد زور لتمرير اجندات انتخابية عنصرية

نعرف تمام المعرفة ان السيد الريفي ما زال يحلم بدور سياسي في حزب العمال. ونعرف تمام المعرفة ان السيد الريفي مستعد لتقديم القرابين للوصول الی هذا الحلم، ولو كان علی حساب معاناة اللاجئين الهاربين من موت محتم في قندهار وبغداد وجفنة وغزة

ندعو السيد الريفي ان يرحم ذكائنا وشعورنا فيكف عن هذه الممارسات، قبل ان " يذوب الثلج ويظهر المرج" وتنكشف الاجندة الحقيقية لتعيينه في هذا المنصب الرمزي الفارغ من أي مضمون

نؤكد للسيد الريفي اننا قد ضقنا ذرعا بكل شهادات الزور هذه واننا لن نسكت بعد الآن
