Now that I have your attention, I want to show you the Murdoch media's propaganda role in Australia - on behalf of powerful forces - in creating the false narrative that there is an "antisemitism crisis' in Australia.    

In particular, The Australian - the national daily - has been obsessively publishing scores of commentaries and stories since October 7, 2023, about 'antisemitism' in Australia.  This is believed to be done to deflect attention on what is happening in Gaza, now officially defined by the UN as the Palestinian Genocide (see yesterday's post by Paulcadwallade here: https://5ep.net/posts/status-2026012056979 )

Note that I've written about this issue with The Australian newspaper before, on this platform. 

See, for example, the following earlier posts brought to you by 5th Estate Press - the Citizen Journalism Platform.

------------------------

I want to report here on my attempts yesterday - as a $50 per month subscriber to The Australian - to have them publish my reasonable & rational comment under 3 of their hyped-up propaganda stories about 'antisemitism' in Australia. 

But alas, their moderators appear to be agents of Mossad. 

My attempts to add a comment yesterday under the 3 stories listed below were rejected by the apparently Mossad moderators. 

The Exposé is set out below.

Story 1: Greens identify 'powerful forces' behind Bondi response by Elizabeth Pike, Canberra Reporter.  Published by The Australian newspaper on January 20, 2026.  "Senator Mehreen Faruqi has accused Israel’s Prime Minister, state premiers and rival political parties of being ‘powerful forces’ exploiting the Bondi terror attack to influence politics in Australia."  (533 subscriber comments) 

My attempt at adding a subscriber comment (italics below) was not successful.  The Mossad moderators, it seems, are very clever.   They're not fooled by the use of irony in order to express a viewpoint that defeats their propaganda.

Rejected comment 1. 

Is the use of the term “powerful forces” now a euphemism for you know what? With hate speech laws beefed up the trick now is to communicate with ambiguous language. In the USA, “powerful forces” caused Netanyahu to receive 33 standing ovations during his address to a joint sitting of Congress on 23 July 2025 right in the middle of the mass murder going on in Gaza. Oops, that could be deemed anti semitic hate speech. We should perhaps rephrase “mass murder” to something more palatable to those “powerful forces”. Perhaps we should just call the destruction of the territory and its people “self defense”? It is interesting that what is spoken is a product of what is thought. Hate speech laws are essentially futile and unworkable, because they attempt to outlaw thought. 


 
Story 2.  Albanese's antisemitism blame shift 'delusional: Morrison by Dennis Shannihan and Richard Ferguson. Published by The Australian newspaper on January 20, 2026. "Anthony Albanese has attempted to shift blame for the genesis of Australia’s antisemitism crisis to his predecessor Scott Morrison, sparking an extraordinary war with the former Liberal prime minister who defended his record and labelled the Labor leader “delusional and cheap”. (966 subscriber comments)
Note that by repeating the meme *Australia’s antisemitism crisis* over and over again in their commentaries, the Murdoch media have manufactured a view of reality that is fictitious but serves those powerful forces that shall remain nameless to avoid any suggestion of antisemitism and therefore “hate speech”.   The point is this propaganda technique of repetition was pioneered on a mass scale by Goebbles - the minister for propaganda in Nazi Germany in the lead up to World War 2.    My attempt at adding a subscriber comment (italics below) was not successful.  

Rejected comment 2. 

Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Minister of Propaganda, is famous for his strategies aimed at manipulating public opinion through repetition, emotional appeal, and control of information. In my humble opinion that is exactly what is going on in Australia in relation to claims in the media that there is an “antisemitism crisis” happening in Australia.

 

Story 3. Shape-shifting Hizb ut-Tahrir a challenge by Amanda Hodge.  Published by The Australian newspaper on January 20, 2026.  "Australia is treading a well-worn path in seeking to ban the radical Islamist Hizb ut-Tahrir, a “deeply intolerant”, anti-Western group that rejects democracy and advocates for a global Islamic caliphate, following the example set by many Muslim nations as well as the UK, Germany and India."  (only 13 subscriber comments so far)

Rejected comment 3.

Interesting that Quinton Temby cropped up in this story, as an expert on these sort of things. I remember back in the final days of the East Timor independence struggle in the late 1990s he was acting as a citizen journalist in Dili. I wonder whether he concluded that the brutality of the occupation by the Indonesian military was due in part to the Muslim soldiers’ antipathy towards the Catholic Church to which the oppressed East Timorese people hid behind for protection. By the same token, I wonder whether the genocide in Gaza can be attributed to the antipathy towards Islam by the IDF?

CONCLUSION:

1. The Australian's branding spin is the opposite of the truth!
2. It's bullshit in the strict meaning of the term.
   
   Most politically savvy Australians would say to themselves when they read this spin: "You've gotta be joking!"

Footnote #1:

The campaign by The Australian newspaper gels perfectly with Natanyahu's narrative about, and anger at Australia. In particular his anger at prime minister Anthony Albanese, for voting in favor of a Palestinian State:-

Key Recent UN Votes and Actions:

1. September 21, 2025 (Formal Recognition): Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced that Australia officially recognises the state of Palestine, as part of a coordinated international effort to boost the two-state solution.
2. November 14, 2024 (Sovereignty Resolution): Australia voted in favor of a UN committee resolution recognizing the "permanent sovereignty" of Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, over their natural resources. This was a major departure from its previous position.
3. May 10, 2024 (Membership Rights): Australia was among 143 nations that voted "yes" in the UN General Assembly to upgrade Palestine's status, granting it additional rights and privileges and declaring it qualified for full UN membership.
4. October 7, 2023. Israel's plan for the Palestinian Genocide in Gaza comes into fruition by the stand-down of defense forces at the known location of the Hamas cross-border attack.     

Footnote #2.

Most politically-savvy students of geopolitics know that the Albanese government’s endorsement of a 2-state solution of the Palestine problem is disingenuous at worst or delusional at best.    

With the complete obliteration and annexation of Gaza by the nuclear-armed state of Israel - controlled by powerful forces - and the complete repression of the collective rights of indigenous Palestinians in the West Bank, the concept of a 2-state solution is now dead and buried forever.

 The only solution now is a single state solution.  

The existing regime in Tel Aviv supports a single-state democratic solution that they call Greater Israel, but this necessitates reduction of the population of indigenous Arab Muslims - by ethnic cleansing and emigration - before it can be realized.    

The existing leadership of the axis of resistance supports a single-state democratic solution that they call Palestine, but this necessitates the end of the ethno-supremacist ideology of Zionism before it can be realized. 

Many pundits, including Henry Kissinger, have predicted the end of the state of Israel.   That is because it is an unviable state only kept in existence by the might and taxpayers of the nuclear-armed empire of USA.  

There is now an ideological battle going on in the USA between the Israel-First movement and the America-First movement.  Watch that space.  If the latter side in this American civil war prevails, it will lead to a single-state solution as dreamed of by the axis of resistance.    

Footnote #3. 

Australia's new hate speech laws, passed yesterday, create a framework to ban extremist groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir, allow visa cancellation for hate preachers, introduce tougher penalties for hate crimes, and establish a federal offence for publicly inciting racial hatred, aiming to prevent violence by targeting extremist speech and organizations, though debates continue over balancing free speech with national security.
 
Key Impacts & Provisions:

1. Group Prohibitions: Allows the government to ban groups promoting hate, making membership or support a criminal offense, targeting groups like Hizb ut-Tahrir and the Neo-Nazi National Socialist Network.
2. Visa & Deportation Powers: Grants the Home Affairs Minister power to cancel visas for individuals involved in hate speech or associated with banned groups.
3. New Federal Offence: Criminalizes publicly promoting or inciting racial hatred if it would cause a reasonable person to fear intimidation, harassment, or violence, with a narrow defence for religious teaching.
4. Tougher Penalties: Increases penalties for hate crimes and introduces aggravated sentences for hate preachers or leaders advocating violence, especially concerning radicalizing children.
5. Hate Crime Definition: Defines "hate crime" in Commonwealth law for certain offenses targeting race or national/ethnic origin.
6. Symbol Control: Prohibits the import/export of violent extremist material and hate symbols, and changes how courts consider Nazi symbols.
