The proactive response of NSW police when 61 black-clad neo-Nazis boarded a Sydney train a week ago was swift and correct. The heavily disguised, menacing-looking men were quickly moved on and six were arrested.
Police should have been similarly conscientious in October when aggressive pro-Hamas supporters burned the Israeli flag and bellowed anti-Semitic slogans in front of the Sydney Opera House. It was October 9, two nights after Hamas terrorists slaughtered 1200 Israelis, including infants and the elderly, and kidnapped another 240. Israel had not yet responded to the attack.In failing to stop the rally, on a night the iconic building was lit in blue and white as a mark of respect for Israel, NSW police and their minister, Yasmin Catley, showed appalling judgment.
The sole arrest was of a peaceful Jewish man, seconds after he emerged from Town Hall station with the Israeli flag wrapped around a pole. Like many Australian Jews (who were advised by police to stay away from the Opera House), he had hoped to visit the Opera House. Like raucous, hate-filled demonstrations, including fireworks, a night earlier in western Sydney, the pro-Hamas gathering at the Opera House was more party than protest, a celebration of the worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It demanded an effective, proportionate response – on the night. Friday’s news, lauded in left-wing, anti-Israel media, that after four months, forensic analysis of audio-video files of the protest has led police to conclude the phrase “gas the Jews” was not chanted, does not redeem the deplorable spectacle in any way. The analysis found that “where’s the Jews?” and “f..k the Jews” were chanted.
