Australia bans a pro-Israel speaker while allowing pro-Hamas speakers

For most of my life, Australia appeared to be a combination of English and American virtues. It was a big, free-wheeling country, with brave, strong people who nevertheless hewed to the best British principles of liberty. That image got destroyed when large swaths of Australia became the most tyrannical places on earth during COVID. Now, Australia has dragged itself further into the tyranny gutter by refusing admission to Hillel Fuld, an Israeli-American who speaks out in defense of Israel amidst the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.

You might not have heard of Hillel Fuld, although I bet that you remember his brother, Ari. Both Ari and Hillel were born in New York, but immigrated to Israel in 1994 with their family. Ari got married and raised his family in his new country. He was a tough guy: a 4th-degree black belt who served as a paratrooper in the Israeli military.

In September 2018, a video caught Ari Fuld being murdered by a Muslim Arab who stabbed him in the back as part of one of the Muslim’s many knife intifadas, which started in Israel before migrating to the rest of the world. (Note: Jihadis practice terrorism in Israel and then export it.) However, before he died, Fuld was able to chase his killer and shoot him, preventing the killer from attacking more people.

Hillel, as noted, is Ari’s younger brother. He’s a tech guy who has lived and worked his entire adult life in Israel. Through his popular social media feeds (X and Facebook), he defends Israel’s actions and attacks the calumnies against it. Here’s an example of one of his tweets defending Israel:

Here's the Tweet:

If Gaza was paradise before 10/7, then why did they attack?

If it was an open air prison, why are they now claiming it was paradise?

If Gaza is the home of the “Palestinians”, then how are they refugees in their own home?

If it’s not their home and life is so bad there, why why aren’t they jumping at the opportunity to relocate?
If there’s no food or water in Gaza, how are the hostages being fed well (as they claim)?
If there is enough food there to feed the hostages well, why do they keep lying about starvation?
If the Pro Hamas crowd is calling to globalize the intifada, how are they also calling for a ceasefire? Do they want violence or peace?
If they chant ‘From the river to the sea’, aka erase Israel from the map, how do they also call for a two state solution?
If the protests are ‘only’ against Zionists and not Jews, why are they assaulting random Jews on the streets and on the internet?
If Gazans, by the thousands, are protesting Hamas in Gaza, why is it that western countries don’t see what Gazans see?
If someone was truly “Pro Palestinian”, why wouldn’t they listen to the very people they are supposed to be fighting for? Why wouldn’t they read the charters of the PA and of Hamas, the official government of Gaza?
And if you read the charter of the PA that states clearly what it wants, and it’s not a state, and you don’t believe them, why would you believe Hamas’ casualty numbers? Are they reliable or not?
If you still believe the ridiculous lie about Israel committing genocide, why is Israel sending in soldiers on foot and risking their lives and why is israel dropping pamphlets to warn civilians of an upcoming attack? Does that sound like genocide to you? Why not just use its Airforce and flatten Gaza?
If Israel is ethnically cleansing the “Palestinians”, how has their population grown year over year?
If Israel is an apartheid state, how are there Muslim Arab parties in Israel’s parliament as well as Arab judges in Israel’s Supreme Court?
If the “Palestinians” have such a rich history of thousands of years, can you name a single Palestinian leader before the Mufti who collaborated with the Nazis? Name one.
If Israel was committing war crimes like the world would have you believe, why do Gazans and pro Hamas activists keep getting caught lying about casualty numbers and photos that weren’t even taken in Gaza? Why lie if your truth is so strong?
If the “Palestinians” wanted a state and not just dead Jews, why didn’t they make one when Israel handed them Gaza in 2005? Or for that matter, when they were offered one in 1947 right alongside Israel.
If Hamas and thousands of Gazans live streamed 10/7 and declared it their proudest day, how do people still claim Israel made it up?
If you’re quoting casualty numbers from Gaza, what is your source? Hint: There are only two sides of this war and Israel has not released casualty numbers, so your only possible source is Hamas, a group of murderers, rapists, and pedophiles. Surely a very reliable source.
If you have a problem with innocent people dying in Gaza, have you had anything to say about the thousands of innocents murdered intentionally by Hamas? One is tragic collateral damage (just like any war) and the other is intentional targeting of civilians.
If you’re judging the legitimacy of this war based on the (fabricated) casualty numbers, is that how you’d determine the legitimacy of every other war, like WWII, for example or is it only when Jews are defending themselves?
If Israel occupied an Arab Palestinian state, when was that state established and what was its national anthem?
Just some questions for you to ponder if you still don’t realize that the entire Palestinian narrative is one big lie and it has been from day one.
I have not received a single good answer to any of the above questions. Not one.

The Australian government on Friday canceled the visa of Hillel Fuld, a dual U.S.-Israeli citizen and prominent pro-Israel social media personality, citing national security and public order concerns stemming from his online rhetoric.

Since taking office in 2022, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has shifted away from the country’s traditionally pro-Israel stance. His government reversed the previous recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and has taken a more critical approach to Israel in international forums.

Albanese represents the Labor (aka same as our Democrats in the USA ) party.

Meanwhile, Australia was good when Francesa Albanese (no relation to the Prime Minister) came to speak in Australia. Francesca, a former UN official, has been deeply committed to celebrating Hamas and demonizing Israel, passing on every bit of manifestly untrue propaganda Hamas spews out.
