Exposing antisemitism is not manufactured moral panic

Having the sins of your community exposed, demands either roundly condemning them or defending the acts which are indefensible.  In the case of the Australian Arab Association of Western Sydney, Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) and the Islamic Councils of Victoria and Western Australia, they have a third option.  

Although they didn’t come right out and say it, their advice is tantamount to remaining silent, because, to them, the resultant outcome of speaking out would lead to a “manufactured outrage which serves a political narrative.”

To hear it from these Muslim groups, “diplomatic and journalistic cover is being provided for ongoing crimes by the Zionists in Gaza.” Translation: No media outlets are covering the actions of the IDF, who is getting away with murder. Instead, the story is centered on two Australian Muslim nurses who just happened to say they were killing Israelis in the hospital where they work.

The message is that the universal condemnation, heaped on the nurses, is nowhere to be found against the “Zionists” – today’s preferred slur used to define Israeli Jews. 

And while you might expect this kind of pathetic reaction, it also reveals something of great importance. It serves to show that Muslim organizations are incapable of identifying the vast difference between a country, forced to go to war to defend its citizens vs. two sick individuals whose intense hatred of Jews has fueled them to take the lives of Israelis whom they claim to have killed.  

This is their best effort to make a moral equivalence for both sides, saying you can’t condemn one without condemning the other. In reality, it’s, yet, another reason that the free world, represented by a normal society, governed by laws, cannot coexist with a people who are not grounded in the stark differences between right and wrong or morality vs. criminality.  

When you are able to equate the murder of hospitalized people, just because of their ethnicity, with the killing of terrorists by the military of a sovereign country, then it’s time to come to the conclusion that there is not enough common ground in which to build a cohesive society together.

Keeping quiet about a criminal act, admitted by two people in a recorded video, is not an option, because if the allegations are true, why would they not continue to murder others they don’t like? But this is what these Muslim organizations in Australia are suggesting – that if you can’t condemn the two sides, then you are disqualified from condemning anyone.

The twisted logic of such an argument can only come from people who have not been educated or instructed in accordance with our laws of morality, patterned after those in the scriptures, especially the Ten Commandments which categorically states, “Thou shalt not murder.” 

Herein is one of the great problems which emanates from the teachings of radical Islam, a religion which promotes and praises the murder of “infidels,” defined as those who do not adhere to these teachings. Glorifying suicide bombers and any and all methods of overtaking others, in the ongoing aspiration to achieve world dominance, it seeks to bring humanity to a place of total subservience.

So, when there is this much of a divide in mentality and ethical consideration, how does anyone expect a reasonable moral reckoning, which is necessary to protect each one of us and also a pre-requisite to any proper governance which hopes to maintain justice and a robust legal system?

It would seem that this is so obvious to any clear-thinking person, that it goes without saying.  In essence, it’s like placing a hungry wild beast in the vicinity of a human, but thinking that somehow the person will survive and emerge untouched. It’s not going to happen.   

And while not all Muslims are radicalized, or a threat to society, a fair amount of those who have migrated to the West, over the past 20 years, either sympathize with the extremists among them or possess their own sense of loathing and disdain for both Jews as well as Christians.

While that may have been overlooked years ago, when Muslim migration first began, it can no longer be ignored now that those ingrained sentiments have come to fruition in a way which threatens the local population of their respective host countries which they now call home. 

In each one of these venues, whether Sweden, Germany, U.K., Australia, America, Belgium, France, Spain or Canada, a steady stream of violent acts, public protest against freedoms and democracy, accompanied by the burning of flags, as well as the vandalism and physical attack, which has become a daily occurrence, is now the common threat with which law enforcement is dealing.

Has it brought any of these leaders to publicly speak out and state the obvious – that their locals are unable to live with a foreign population who neither appreciates the laws, customs or environment  which they were expected to adopt?  No, because the intimidation of maintaining a political correctness, by not appearing to be racist or bigoted, has prevented them from saying anything, even though the facts speak for themselves.

It's a sad day when something so recognizable and brimming with common sense is silenced because of the way such a declaration would be perceived – as if the speaker is the one suffering from a moral defect. This is where we find ourselves today, and if the situation continues, we will have contributed to our own inability to defend our right to live freely and without threat.

As much as Muslim organizations would like to convince everyone that the reaction of two nurses, who claim they have murdered Jews, is nothing more than the disseminating of “manufactured moral panic,” people must recognize the clear attempt to shift the guilt, in order to project the wrongdoing to those who just want to live without fear of being poisoned, should they find themselves in the unenviable position of being an in-patient in a hospital.

Yes, it might be painful to say, but the cancer which needs to be excised in our midst, is the kind that attacks the mind and the heart, causing some to believe that it’s defensible to not shriek at the thought of health providers being capable of such heinous acts but, rather, to point the finger at someone else, accusing them of being the real monsters!  Sorry, but we’re not buying it!
