For those Jewish scholars and experts from abroad, often invited by the local community in Australia to visit and share their views and expertise, there is news: you might not be permitted to enter Australia. Your visa, even if approved at some earlier stage, could be revoked and you might be silenced.
If, however, you are a dedicated Palestinian from Gaza, you are most likely welcome in Australia -- little vetting required.
In France, Jew-hatred is on the rise again.... French President Emmanuel Macron, possibly to please his growing Muslim constituency, intended to recognize "steps toward" a borderless, atrociously governed, terrorist State of Palestine – contrary to the interests of Israelis, the Middle East, and especially the Palestinians.
"If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I've got a suggestion for them: Carve out a piece of the French Riviera, and create a Palestinian state. They're welcome to do that... but they're not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation." — US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, i24 News, June 1, 2025.
Are Macron's government and others not only denying Israel, and its majority Jewish population, the necessary arms to defend itself, but also seeking to recognize a hostile Islamist state inside another country's borders? What is the word for "chutzpah" in French?
Australian Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke (pictured below) revoked the entry visa for Hillel Fuld, an American-Israeli tech columnist and advisor to Google and Microsoft, who was scheduled to speak in front of thousands of people at a fundraising event for Australian Friends of Magen David Adom (the official Israeli ambulance and medical emergency service devoted to saving lives of all people). Burke gave as his reason for revoking Fuld's visa a false accusation of "'islamophobia rhetoric' which risked inciting discord against Australia's Muslim population."
Pro-Palestinian activists at Sydney University, Australia, a recent investigative report revealed, have been freely disrupting university lectures, shouting antisemitic slogans and carrying banners declaring "Jews not allowed." According to the report:
"Jewish workers and students experienced antisemitism daily whilst on campus, creating a workplace of fear, anxiousness and a fear of retribution towards Jewish workers and students because they were Jewish people."
As has become typical in the West, the report's recommendations were ignored and a full investigation of the university not undertaken.
For those Jewish scholars and experts from abroad, often invited by the local community in Australia to visit and share their views and expertise, there is news: you might not be permitted to enter Australia. Your visa, even if approved at some earlier stage, could be revoked and you might be silenced. The governing leftist Labour Party may not want you there.
If, however, you are a dedicated Palestinian from Gaza, you are most likely welcome in Australia -- little vetting required. So, come join the many thousands who are there already. Come create your very own "private Idaho," just as many of your fellow Islamists have already done in Europe.
Scheduled to speak to thousands of people at a fundraising event in June for Australian Friends of Magen David Adom (the official Israeli ambulance and medical emergency service devoted to saving lives of all people), Hillel Fuld had his visa revoked at the last minute. Fuld, an American-Israeli who describes himself as "a proud Zionist, a tech columnist, advisor to Google and Microsoft, and a father of five," has over the past 20 months posted on his X and LinkedIn accounts commentary about Hamas's war on Israel.
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, "responsible for importing thousands of Gazans to Australia without adequate security checks," gave as his reason for revoking Fuld's visa a false accusation of "'islamophobia rhetoric' which risked inciting discord against Australia's Muslim population."
Fuld, therefore, was supposedly a "threat to the 'health, safety or good order' of Australians."
Over the past few weeks in Australia, the following incidents against Jews were reported without much consequence:
Ringleader of anti-Israel protest receives slap on wrist for assault - WATCH
Gaza comes to the City to Surf
Club bans 'fatophobia' and Zionists
Local Labor Party branch calls for antisemitic measures
Jews targeted at Newcastle surf event
Extremist 'anti-racist' to speak at NSW Government-sponsored organization's event
Western Sydney couple get slap on the wrist over antisemitic graffiti
In the overall scheme of things, these events might seem trivial. Jews, regrettably, are often the "canary in the coalmine" – meaning, how Jews as a defenseless minority in the diaspora are treated, portends escalating future actions not only against them but other minorities, and eventually all citizens.
With Fuld, the issue is the curtailment of freedom of speech. Facts are denied a platform, in order to make space for alternative narratives that suit the prevailing political trend. This issue should be of concern to all citizens.
More than a decade back, Charles Small noted about the US:
"Anti-Semitism is a deep, deep hatred, and once we permit this hatred to exist or target one group, it'll only be a matter of time before other groups are targeted."
Small was the director of the Yale University Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism until it was closed down by the university after only a few years. Small's words in 2012 were far-sighted. A decade or so later, we see widely-supported, violent anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist events at Harvard, Yale and University of Pennsylvania, among others institutions (see Appendix).
Columbia University, North Western University, Portland State University, UC Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota are currently under federal investigation.
In France, Jew-hatred is on the rise again. In early June, French dockworkers prevented a shipment of military goods destined for Israel, intended to assist it surviving an onslaught of jihadists from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iran and its own West Bank.
French President Emmanuel Macron, possibly to please his growing Muslim constituency, intended to recognize "steps toward" a borderless, atrociously governed, terrorist State of Palestine – contrary to the interests of Israelis, the Middle East, and especially the Palestinians. To justify his actions, and Macron has been lobbying other European nations to follow suit.
Meanwhile, Macron intimated that he would shortly make a decision "whether to implement 'concrete measures' against Israel because of the war against Hamas" – never mind that the war was initiated by Hamas, not Israel.
Coming from the famed land of "liberty, equality and fraternity," these things can only be seen as an example of unapologetic Jew-hatred from a major EU power, itself infiltrated by jihadists.
Macron apparently decided that now would be the perfect time for a re-run of the anti-Semitic Dreyfus Affair 130 years ago, in which a loyal Jewish officer, Captain Alfred Dreyfus, was unjustly charged with treason and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island, a decision overturned only years later.
Even though the Dreyfus Affair was considered "a watershed event in the history of European anti-Semitism," and France during World War II was occupied for years by Nazi Germany and partly governed by the collaborators of the Vichy government, nothing, it seems, has been learned. The French Vichy government, under Marshall Philippe Pétain and Pierre Laval, was responsible for the deportation of over 76,000 Jews from France to German death camps. Only 2,500 survived.
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee immediately responded to Macron's proposal:
"If France is really so determined to see a Palestinian state, I've got a suggestion for them: Carve out a piece of the French Riviera, and create a Palestinian state. They're welcome to do that... but they're not welcome to impose that kind of pressure on a sovereign nation."
Are Macron's government and others not only denying Israel, and its majority Jewish population, the necessary arms to defend itself, but also seeking to recognize a hostile Islamist state inside another country's borders? What is the word for "chutzpah" in French?
European leaders like Macron, from nations such as Norway, Ireland, and Great Britain, who consider a "two-state solution" a pathway to peace, evidently wish to reward Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Iran for the massacres of October 7, 2023 – the worst crime against Jews since the Holocaust.
