The "Pro-Palestinian" Protests Against Israeli President Herzog in Australia
(Times of Israel) David Horovitz - President Isaac Herzog's visit to Australia is being met with protests by "pro-Palestinian" activists falsely alleging Israeli genocide in Gaza. "Pro-Palestinian" activists pretty much everywhere on the planet have been demonstrating against Israel's resort to war after Hamas invaded Israel from Jew-free Gaza, massacred 1,200 people amid unspeakable brutality, abducted 251 to Gaza, and vowed to keep on killing Israelis until the world's only Jewish-majority state is destroyed. These are not demonstrations by activists genuinely concerned for the well-being of non-terrorist Palestinians and noncombatants. Rather, these are concerted protests designed to demonize and delegitimize Israel and Israel alone, in its entirety and its essence - to render Israel a pariah state with which no decent country should interact, to deny it not only the right to defend itself but the weaponry and practical capacity to defend itself, and thus to aid Hamas, Hizbullah and the Iranian regime in their declared mission to wipe us out. 27 months of orchestrated global activism have relentlessly spread a narrative in which the Jewish state, uniquely, can do no right, and calculatedly created a bedrock of empathy and support for regimes, terrorist groups, and individuals who seek to murder and maim Israelis and Jews wherever we are found. On Dec. 14, 2025, father and son Islamic extremists Sajid and Naveed Akram massacred 15 people at a Hanukkah party on Bondi Beach. You might have wanted to believe that this would have given Australia's "pro-Palestinian" activists pause. Fellow Australians were gunned down on the beach for being Jewish. Now, the president of the nation-state of the Jewish people is visiting to try to bring the devastated Jewish community a little solace and comfort. And the protests are targeting him? For that matter, those "pro-Palestinian" activists who purport to care for innocent lives should also have been out on the streets demonstrating on behalf of the people of Iran, who have been risking their lives - and losing them in the tens of thousands - to try to bring down their repressive Islamic death cult leadership.
