'Light Up the Opera House for Palestine,' Says Labor Minister

Madness is everywhere. Moral clarity is nowhere to be found.

Labor Minister Ed Husic wants to know why the Opera House hasn’t been lit up for Palestinians.

Well Ed, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say it’s for the same reason we didn’t light it up for Germany, or for Japan, during World War Two.

‘But, but … Palestinians are being collectively punished for the crimes of Hamas,’ Ed told ABC radio today.

And, for just a second, I wondered how a teenager had become Minister for Industry.

Let’s try to break it down for Mr Husic.

How can I put this?

War is messy.

Do I need to explain it further?

While we must differentiate between the Hamas terror group and the Palestinian people, it’s kind of difficult for the IDF to do that when the terrorists wear no uniform, and when they hide among civilians.

And there’s this other small issue Ed. The people of Palestine voted for Hamas in 2006. Elections have consequences. (Don’t we in Australia know that right at the moment!)

Or what about this Ed? Israel have promise to stop blocking water and power to Gaza if Hamas simply free the almost 200 hostages - many of them children - that they are holding.

Hamas said no.

And so Ed blames Israel for the suffering of the Palestinian people?

Really?

How dumb can you be and still be a minister in the Albanese government? (No need to answer that. It was rhetorical)

The IDF warn Palestinian people to evacuate areas where they are about to attack. Does that sound like collectively punishing the Palestinian people to you Ed?

Meanwhile, Hamas tell people not to move to safety. Hamas tell their own people to stay put and to be martyred for the cause of Islam.

If the Palestinian people are being “collectively punished”, it’s by Hamas! Put that up in lights on the Opera House!

Home Affairs Minister Claire O’Neil sympathised with Ed Husic’s call for the land marks to be lit up for Palestine.

“With hundreds of people who have just lost their lives in Gaza, sitting in a hospital? It is absolutely, categorically something that should never happen,” she said.

Ok. So, Palestinian terrorists blow up a Palestinian hospital while attempting to fire rockets at Israeli civilians, and Australian Ministers of the Crown demand the Opera House be illuminated out of respect?

I really am living in a parallel universe.

While we’re talking about putting things up in lights Ed, why is it that every protest by Palestinians - anywhere in the world - features the entire crowd chanting …

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free”

Palestinians have long been indoctrinated to be anti-simetic. Their version of “peace” is Israel not existing.

Add that to the list of reasons the Opera House hasn’t, and ought not, be lit up in solidarity with Palestine.

Maybe we’re fearful of lighting up monuments with the Palestinian flag because it will only attract unruly mobs of Jews firing flares while screaming “Fk the Palestinians” and “Gas the Nazis”.

…. er, hang on. No. Sorry. That was the Palestinians reacting to a show of support for the Jews.

Awkward.

We live peculiar times. Scratch the surface of the Labor-Teal-Green cabal and support for the perpetrators of terrorist savagery against the democratic civilians of Israel is fully revealed.

Madness is everywhere. Moral clarity is nowhere to be found.
