Tak for sidst – australske socialist PM troede det var gratis at chikanere israelsk politiker ved at forbyde taler adgang til Australien: “Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar decided on Monday to revoke the residency visas of Australia’s representatives to the Palestinian Authority, hours after Canberra barred an Israeli lawmaker from entering the country.”
Som sædvanligt var den socialistiske undskyldning: “Australia banned far-right MK Simcha Rothman from the country” – dvs de kunne ikke tåle at høre en konservativ israelsk politiker , og så er han oven i købet religiøs – uhada – sådan en væmmelig en må da censureres …

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar decided on Monday to revoke the residency visas of Australia’s representatives to the Palestinian Authority, hours after Canberra barred an Israeli lawmaker from entering the country.
Australia announced on Monday morning that it was banning far-right Religious Zionism MK Simcha Rothman from visiting the country, hours before he was supposed to travel there for a series of appearances.
Both Australian diplomats representing Canberra to the PA live in Israel, despite holding offices in Ramallah, according to Channel 12 news.
Sa’ar accused the Australian government of fanning antisemitism and wrote on X that he had also instructed Israel’s embassy in Canberra “to carefully examine any official Australian visa application for entry to Israel.”
It was unclear if the policy would affect all Australian requests or only those from Australian officials.

The decision, which was presented to the Australian ambassador Monday afternoon, follows “Australia’s decisions to recognize a ‘Palestinian state’” in September, and the country’s “unjustified refusal to grant visas to a number of Israeli figures,” including former justice minister Ayelet Shaked and Rothman, who serves as chairman of the Knesset’s Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, said Sa’ar.
“While antisemitism is raging in Australia, including manifestations of violence against Jews and Jewish institutions, the Australian government is choosing to fuel it by false accusations, as if the visit of Israeli figures will disrupt public order and harm Australia’s Muslim population. It is shameful and unacceptable!” Sa’ar declared.
Rothman claimed in an interview with the Kan public broadcaster that the Australian government had been bullied by “Islamist jihadists into canceling his visa, and had “surrendered to terror.”
In a sharply worded Hebrew-language video message released by Sa’ar’s office shortly after the announcement, the minister declared that “Australia is acting against Israel, Australia is persecuting Israel,” and said that its move to bar Israeli individuals “must be understood in this context.”
