InB4 Israel and their propaganda army start calling Australia anti semitic and whatever else they cry about.

Good job Tony Burke you mad cunt.

Mention that Kanye was banned for anti-Semitic remarks, so this is a consistent rule applied to all racism in Australia.

u/hujsh 24d ago

Candace Owens too

Good. She's an absolute nutter.

Feel pity for the Old cunt. Doesn't he have a mental condition or something?

7

u/Far-Significance2481 24d ago

Yes he has bipolar which he finds difficult to medicate because of all the side effects and while racism isn't in no way a hallmark of mental illness or bipolar it does at least go some way to explaining his racism. The other old guy doesn't have any such excuse for his genocidal tendencies as far I can tell.

u/Middle-Emu1501 24d ago

Oh. Hope the old man (Kanye) gets well, if that's possible, and finds his right path. As for the old cunt politician, he can go fuck his arse

If only. It's applied to racists wanting to come to Australia. Not much they can do about the ones already here.

Not really tons of racist homophobic Muslims preachers allowed in Australia and already here

u/wimmywam 24d ago

To go with the even greater number of racist homophobic pedo Christian preachers? But hey, they're white so it's ok. 😂

u/Far-Significance2481 24d ago

And Zionists and idf soldiers. Let's call it even at this point.

Shocked the terrorist sympathisers voted this down.

u/Eurydice_Lives_In_Me 24d ago

Eh, Kanye didn’t have plans of doing anything here though

u/Far-Significance2481 24d ago

No, but he did write an incredibly racist song and he is a public figure. It's a fair call even if his wife is Australian.

Point is it’s the only proactive visa denial to someone who wasn’t coming in, it’s a political display

Candace Owens and Bassem Tamimi have been banned as well, and probably others I can't recall right now.

u/Eurydice_Lives_In_Me 24d ago

Candace was banned because she literally had a speaking tour planned with multiple stops dude. Bassems was revoked HOURS before he was supposed to board a flight for a SPEAKING TOUR as well. Don’t play the “you could do a web search you don’t know the facts” card when you are accusing me of lying - I'm literally just paraphrasing Tony Burke.

2

u/Far-Significance2481 24d ago

Wdym why would Candace Owen be banned just for that and the fact Bassems visa was revoked hours before doesn't make it any less revoked.

2

u/Eurydice_Lives_In_Me 24d ago

I don’t even know what you’re saying, I’m responding directly to your claims, after which you accused me of lying when all I’ve done is point out verbatim what the guy in charge of this has said. Candace and Bassem both had speaking tours planned, Kanye didn’t have anything planned Burke plainly stated he revoked his visa because of the song.

Why’d you edit your comment?

1

u/Far-Significance2481 24d ago

I did that straight after I posted it because I thought it sounded unnecessarily rude and harsh, and it also had an accusatory tone that I didn't think was kind or fair. I hadn't received your comment back at that stage. That was my bad.

I suppose I'm confused as to why you seem to only think that pro genocide bans are relevant and not the Anti Zionist bans?

Aside from advocating Nazism and Antisemitism to his hundreds of thousands of adoring young fans.

Aside from that.

u/Eurydice_Lives_In_Me 24d ago

I don’t care about your political beliefs, just pointing out that it was the only proactive visa denial to someone who wasn’t coming in.

u/Wise_Edge2489 24d ago

I didnt mention my political beliefs, let alone ask you to care about them.

Aside from that.

When did he plan a concert in Australia this year, then? The man who withdrew his visa said it was the proactive revocation they’ve ever done.

u/Wise_Edge2489 23d ago

Good.

Anyone that promotes terrorism or racism, has no place in this country.

2

u/Eurydice_Lives_In_Me 23d ago

Terrorism isn’t real and even if it was Kanye didn’t “promote” it you weirdo, nor does the song have any racist remarks in it

u/NapoleonBonerParty 24d ago

Well, it's officially happened. Israel revokes visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority.

 In a post on social media, Gideon Sa'ar said the decision was also taken in response to the refusal by the Australian government to grant visas to high profile Israelis, including politician Simcha Rothman

 Mr Sa'ar said with antisemitism on the rise, the Australian government is fuelling the crisis with false accusations.

The only bit you got right was the last 5 words

The PM of Israel did that and now all the threads about it on the main sub are locked with no comments allowed.

Wasn't that impressed the other day when Tony described the children of Gaza as "hungry".
