White Australia’s foreign affairs policy

the state of Israel, to which I am fully committed, is more important for me than to do a job.

The late Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser, said in an article ‘The isolation of Hamas is impeding peace’, (The Age, 11.8.2009):

Fear of criticism from the Jewish lobby in Australia has so far prevented Australian governments taking effective action.

Australia as a result of the Israeli lobby’s influence is one of a group of banana republic group of countries such as Micronesia, Costa Rica, Palau and the Marshall Islands, continuously opposing UN resolutions condemning Israel’s occupation, violations of international law and human rights, racial discrimination, the building of Jewish colonies and the Apartheid Wall, which further isolates Australia from the international community at the UN and other international forums.

Liberal and Labor leaders unashamedly crawl and do their best to appease Israel and its extremist lobby, to the extent of making Australia look ludicrous in the eyes of the world.

On receiving the "Torch of Learning" award from Australian Friends of Hebrew University in Sydney on 22.11.2015, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, said:

Israel's struggles are our struggles. Their fight is our fight. Israel's opportunities are our opportunities. Israel's values are our values. Australia and Israel - ours is a special friendship, a special relationship and long may it endure. As Australia's Foreign Minister, I confirm without hesitation, unequivocally, that Australia is, and will remain, a staunch friend and supporter of the State of Israel.

While Bishop was in Israel early in 2014, in an interview with ‘The Times of Israel’ newspaper, she suggested to the astonishment of even the Israelis that the Israeli settlements “may not be illegal under international law”. And she refrained from condemning Israeli building of additional settlements in the 1967 occupied Palestinian territories.

Subsequently we had the outrageous statement from the Attorney-General George Brandis telling a Senate Estimates hearing:

The description of East Jerusalem as ‘Occupied East Jerusalem’ is a term freighted with pejorative implications, which is neither appropriate nor useful.

In an article in the SMH on 26.2.2010, Peter Hartcher reported an Australian official saying:

the Israeli secret service had probably calculated that, even if it were caught using forged Australian passports, Canberra would not retaliate. It wouldn't matter whether it was John Howard or Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott in the prime minister's chair... [the Israelis] know they've got us by the balls... partly because of the Israel lobby.

In fact they did forge Australian passports and use them to spy in other countries and carry out an assassination in a friendly country and the Australian government did not genuinely retaliate.

Substitute the words "Israel", "Jewish" and "Zionist" for "China", "Chinese" and the "Communist party", and imagine if China forged Australian passports and used them to spy on other countries and carry out assassinations in friendly countries and think how Australia would have reacted.
