David Adler, director of Prime Health Management, tells the Attorney-General to ignore appeals by other Jewish representatives not to scrap the anti-free speech sections of the Racial Discrimination Act. Free speech, not censorship, is the best defence of Jews in this country:
Dear Sen Brandis
I am writing to express support for your initiatives to delete or significantly amend S18C & 18D of the Racial Discrimination Act.
I am an active member of the Jewish community in Sydney and hold office as the Hon. Secretary of the Synagogue at Chabad North Shore in Sydney’s northern suburbs. I am known to some senior Liberal Party members including Tony Abbott, Michael Wooldridge, Nick Griener and others who would vouch for my bona fides.

Absolutely astonishing. Labour hack come “Baroness “Catherine Ashton, vice president of the European Commission, marks Holocaust Day with a statement which omits a single mention of the word “Jews”: Remember Holocaust Day! But don’t mention the Jews

MORE than 1000 failed asylum seekers who have had their claims rejected but are still in Australia have been put on notice, with the Abbott government threatening to put them into detention and deport them if they refuse to return home voluntarily.
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison last night said the people in community detention or in detention centres had failed in their claims – some multiple times including judicial reviews – and had no right to be in Australia any more.
More than 30,000 asylum seekers are living on the Australian mainland after the masses of boat arrivals under the previous Labor government – residing in community detention and receiving welfare benefits paid for by taxpayers or in detention centres at a cost to taxpayers.
Mr Morrison said more than 1000 of these people had been “sitting in the network and in the community after having their claims rejected”.
“The government will take the steps necessary to remove failed asylum seekers from Australia who wish to stay indefinitely at taxpayers’ expense,” he said.
“Once you have had your asylum claims assessed and rejected not just by the department but also on appeal, it’s time to go home, as you have been assessed as not being owed protection.
“If people want to frustrate it and act up and frustrate we have the ability to take them into detention.
“We make no apologies to return people who shouldn’t be here and particularly those who have come the wrong way.”
A Sudanese-born volunteer with the Salvation Army said many young people from the African community had little education and poor job prospects, making them feel excluded:
“…many of them have experienced great trauma and have come from difficult places…Â but we need to try and develop real solutions to fix these problems.”
No we don’t because we can’t. We need to keep them out.
“But if they’re brawling in the streets in their hundreds, then isn’t it about time we realised what the situation is and not just play the racism card every time…?”
New details have emerged about asylum seeker claims that Australian sailors mistreated them during a boat interception operation earlier this month.
A Somali asylum seeker has told the ABC that there were angry protests when people found out the boat was being turned around and they were being returned to Indonesia.
He alleges that during the onboard argument he suffered burns when he came into contact with a hot engine after an Australian sailor sprayed him in the eyes. (Read more by Andrew Bolt)
“Scarlett Johansson has respectfully decided to end her ambassador role with Oxfam after eight years,” the statement said. “She and Oxfam have a fundamental difference of opinion in regards to the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement. She is very proud of her accomplishments and fundraising efforts during her tenure with Oxfam.”
Johansson is clearly more moral than Oxfam is.
While Oxfam never officially said it supports boycotting all Israeli products – like all humanitarian NGOs, it has to put up a pretense of objectivity – Oxfam has no problem with one of their other ambassadors pushing for the destruction of Israel via BDS. That ambassador is the hateful Desmond Tutu, who happily associates with members of Hamas.
Fjordman noted a few days ago that the media blackout about the mass murderer Anders Breivik’s confession that he associated with the counter-jihad movement in order to try to destroy it showed “how rotten and dishonest Western mass media are, how much information they hide and how much they distort.” Indeed, and that rottenness and […]  Continue Reading »
Malala insists that what the Taliban do transgresses against the true teachings of Islam; yet those who adhere to what she regards as those true teachings do not have sufficient numbers or power to protect an event that was to be held in her honor at Peshawar University. Those whom she regards as Misunderstanders of Islam are ruling the day.
When people talk about how a peace plan would look, “everyone knows” that Bethlehem and Hebron and much of Jeruslaem would be under Arab control, and the Jewish holy places there – the Temple Mount, the Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel’s Tomb – would be freely accessible because, well, there would be peace!Isn’t that obvious?
Sure, Jordan promised that Jews would be able to visit their holy place when they illegally annexed Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria in 1949 – and they lied.
Thank you for your recent letter to The Immigration Department expressing your profound concern at the treatment of Islamic boat arrivals to our country.
As a concerned and compassionate citizen, you will be pleased to know we are creating a new Immigration department called Welcome To Freedom (WTF).
This new and innovative program will, on a trial basis only, place disturbed Islamic immigrants in the homes of concerned citizens such as yourself for personal care.
Your personal detainee has been selected and is scheduled for transportation to your residence on Monday.
Mustafa Kamel is your nominated detainee and he is to be cared for pursuant to the standards you personally demanded in your letter of complaint.
… On February 1, one million Muslim and non-Muslim women wearing a traditional Islamic head scarf are going to march on the streets of 116 countries to mark the second anniversary of World Hijab Day. …
More submission to the bloodcult at OnIslam (thanks to Mullah, pbuh)
Stereoptypohobia in Canuckistan
“We want everyone to come and try on a hijab,” Kiran Malik-Khan, the organizer of the event, said in a release. “The biggest stereotype out there is that Muslim women are forced to wear a hijab, which isn’t true. The hijab is an emblem of our modesty, honour and beauty. We wear it because we embrace it with pride.” (Or else…)
More Stereotypophobia and Misconception Battlers
“We have both Sunni and Shia within the group and both on the e-Âboard,” and:Â “There is a misconception that all Muslims are Arab and all Arabs are Muslim,” she said.
… one of the main events of the week will be a day where scarves are passed out to women around campus to wear on their heads like the traditional Muslim hijab. More stereotype-battling by wearing stereotypical hedjabs at Grand Valley Lanthorn
MONTREAL -Â They’re young, powerful, educated, stylish and they wear a hijab.

ASHLEY HALL: His commitment to progressive politics saw him nearly landed in jail at one point. What happened there?
ALLAN WINKLER: In the 1950s when Joseph McCarthy and the anti-communist crusade got under way, he was tarred as having been a member of the Communist Party.
Pardon? Seeger was not “tarred as having been a member of the Communist Party”. He actually was a member of that party, which was loyal to the Soviet Union at a time when Stalin was killing dissidents, deporting entire communities, jailing writers and imprisoning millions in gulags.Â
“Progressive” indeed.
Would I be wrong in considering this just one more pixel in a picture of ABC Leftism?
Media ”sensationalism” is unfairly linking Islam to terrorism and inflaming tensions between Muslims and other Australians, a detailed study has found.
The first comprehensive study of community attitudes in Australia into radicalisation, written by Victoria Police and Victoria University, found most of more than 500 community leaders, government stakeholders and everyday Australians surveyed regarded the risk of terrorism as fairly low.
They were deeply critical of media sensationalism when covering the risk of terrorism, which an ”overwhelming majority” said was unfairly linking it to Islam. Some respondents felt the reporting was so far slanted that they wanted greater regulation or monitoring of media organisations.
