In short:

The Israeli government has expressed outrage at Australia’s decision to deny a visa to Israel’s former justice minister Ayelet Shaked.

Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke’s office confirmed her visa application had been rejected, without specifying why.

What’s next?

In a video message posted by AIJAC, Ms Shaked promised Australia’s Jewish community that she would visit “in a better days”.

    “The issue here is not that I didn’t get a visa. The issue here is that the current Australian government has become anti-Semitic,”

    Oh for fucks sake, just because we don’t want to blindly watch your country genocide an entire race and possible more off the planet, doesn’t make our government Anti-Semitic.

    You’re not part of the Israeli government, so you don’t get the same level of treatment that you would if you were part of the Israeli government .

    Its fine for Israel to commit genocide and publicly admit they want to rape these people they deem to be lower than animals, but we’re not allowed to deny a person entry to our country?

    Go fuck yourself you dumb cunt, but I guess telling you that’s probably Anti-Semitic now.

    Call me crazy, but I think the ALP actually learned a lesson and realize they have to be at least slightly better than the liberal party on Palestine
