Most Australians support Israel but they are quiet.

"I didn't understand until now what your people are going through": Interview with the Australian presenter who supports Israel. Journalist Erin Mullen has been in the field for two decades, but nothing prepared her for the past year • Since 10/7, she has taken a clear pro-Israel stance and spoken out against Hamas • However, she is forced to pay a price: her show on Sky was canceled and she even received threats on her life • In a conversation with Weekend News, Mullen spoke about what is happening in Australian public discourse, shared her concerns and revealed: "I am about to get a much broader platform" Dana Weiss| Weekend News | Published 06:54 12.22.24

Australian TV personality Erin Mullen has been speaking out against Hamas and the hypocrisy of the world on her Sky show every week since October 7. After Sky unexpectedly announced that she would not continue with the show, she came to visit Israel. In a conversation with News 12, she spoke about the heavy prices she paid for supporting Israel - but made it clear that she will not give up. "They will not stop me," she said.

[N12] - You have become strongest voices for Israel in the past year. Why are you such a devoted supporter of it?

[E.M.] - "I would say, in simple terms, that it's because I can distinguish between good and evil. I can distinguish between justice and injustice. I don't think it's complicated at all. I think every death, every killing, every life lost in the Middle East since October 7th is solely the fault of Hamas and the people who fund it."

[N12] - You said: "I'm not Jewish, I'm not Israeli, I have no personal interest in the matter - but I do."

[E.M.] - "We all have. Anyone who thinks that what is happening in the world right now will stop in Israel or with the Jewish people - is a fool. We are already seeing examples like demonstrations against Christmas celebrations in Australia or Europe and America. The things I fight for are freedom and life - I stand on the right side of a country that is desperately fighting to survive and I believe in the same values ​​that I believe in."

[N12] On your show, you always spoke about various issues - but you didn't talk about Israel. What caused this change? Was it in the wake of 7/10?

[E.M.] - "Absolutely. How can anyone see what happened that day to children, adults and women and not embrace Israel in their arms?"

[N12] - Still, you are a unique voice. Many of the voices in the media see things differently - why?

[E.M.] - "It's crazy to me. I care just as much about the children in Gaza, but I understand that the source of their pain is the terrorists who started it. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand where terror, evil, and death come from, so the fact that others can't see it drives me crazy."

Those quiet Australians should realize that Israel is only a first step in the minds of the Islamacists. If Israel falls, Europe is next. Australia is high on the list, because of the numbers of Muslims that were allowed in the country.

That penal colony lost it’s way after the great Steve Irwin.

to the question: who is responsible for the civilian deaths at Hiroshima and Nagasaki? the answer is the government of Japan at the time and earlier and all of the people including civilians who supported them.

to the question: who is responsible for the civilian deaths in Gaza? the answer is Hamas and all of the people including civilians who supported them.

The bomb was also the lowest cost option for minimizing civilian casualties. The estimated number of civilians lost in a blockade, land invasion and sweep of Japan was about 5 million. It could have easily been more.

the details of the war plan don’t really matter.

the US had a right to end the conflict in such a way so that Japan could not later reopen the conflict.

And Israel has a right to end their conflict in such a way so that Hamas and their allies can not later reopen the conflict.

Don’t forget that even now, the PALEOstinians who supported HAMAS all the way still support them though they have suffered terribly.
Your average, run of the mill Gazan (PALEOstinian) participated in the rape, murders, mutilation of the dead or dying and wonton destruction & looting of the Jewish communities near Gaza.
The average PALEOstinian in the West Bank supports HAMAS and are all all for another repeat of the October 7th massacre.
So when they shed crocodile tears about the “poor PALEOstinians” who are paying the price for THEIR choices one should not shed a tear.
War is hell and they brought ALL OF THIS upon themselves.

You can learn most of what you need to know about the Palestinians by looking at the wall their fellow Islamics, the Egyptians, built to separate Gaza from Egypt.

It makes Trump’s border wall look wimpy.

This is a bit surprising as Sky News Australia is a reliably conservative news site. So I wonder if there’s more going on behind the scenes here.

Very surprised. Because SkyBews AU is unlike SkyNews UK.

most Israelis have a special fondness for Australia, too...
because both countries share common values respecting the individual’s liberty in society. And because Australia played a significant part in liberating Israel from the Ottoman Occupation, including the famous Australian Light Horsemen and additional forces (1915-1917)

Israel honors Australian and New Zealand even if the current Austraian government’s gone bad?

" Most Australians support Israel but they are quiet.

That sort of support is of absolutely NO BENEFIT to the Israelis.
