NATIONAL (MAY 8, 2006)
PM to receive B'nai B'rith's top honour

Gedaliah Afterman

PRIME Minister John Howard will be presented the prestigious B'nai B'rith international Presidential Gold Medal for his "outstanding" support of Israel and the Jewish people at a ceremony in Washington on Tuesday, May 16.

A spokesperson for the prime minister told the AJN that Howard was "deeply honoured" by the award, and that "Australia's consistent support for the State of Israel is based on principle and a profound respect for the courage and achievements of the Jewish people".

B'nai B'rith Australia/New Zealand president James Altman said: "In a world where many countries are demonising Israel, which is leading to antisemitism in those countries, John Howard and his government have been a beacon of light against that trend."

Howard's commitment to Israel and the Jewish community was also the topic of an address last week to the American Jewish Committee (AJC), in which he praised Australian Jewry's "invaluable contribution" to the broader community, and reiterated the government's "steadfast" commitment to a "safe and secure Israel".

In a congratulatory video message screened at the AJC's 100th annual meeting in Washington, Howard said the Australian Jewish community "plays a major role in strengthening the friendship between Australia and Israel and in bringing us closer to our allies".

Congratulating the AJC for its accomplishments on human-rights issues and the advancement of inter-faith relations, the PM stated: "The international Jewish community and the state of Israel have no closer friends than Australia and the United States."

Howard, who last visited Israel in 2000, is tipped to return to the Jewish State as early as July, following an invitation from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Last year, Howard completed a rare trifecta by receiving awards from three organisations in recognition of his support for Jewish causes: Sydney's Jewish Communal Appeal, the AJC and the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce.

A strong Australian delegation at the AJC conference included Mark Leibler, who is national chairman of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), an AJC affiliate; AIJAC executive director Dr Colin Rubenstein, who presented a session on opportunities for strengthening ties with South-East Asia; and former Executive Council of Australian Jewry president and current AIJAC director of international affairs Jeremy Jones, who gave a presentation on antisemitism. Six representatives of the Australasian Union of Jewish Students were also present.

Don't expect the man to talk about Isreali aggression in Lebanon, pedophile politicians (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3395321338401208062), Jewish Pornographers, the Isreali sex slavery trade or the palestinian genocide anytime soon.

Please tell me what is wrong with being a zionist? The Palestinians invaded Israel from the Jews then the Jews toke it back, what is wrong with getting back something that originally was theirs? Secondly haven't the Jewish People suffered enough? Why does everyone have a go at them?
 
Here is a link which shows how Howard & Bob Hawke are percieved by the Jewish comminity in Australia - in short - very popular!

Hawke vs Howard

This week John Howard celebrates his 10th anniversary in power. For Jews, the Howard decade has witnessed staunch support for Israel and the Jewish community, not just from Howard, but from the main players on his frontbench. Some commentators have mused that he has trumped Australiaís other great pro-Israel PM, Bob Hawke. We asked 10 eminent Australian Jews for their verdict

Heres a quick excerpt ..

Suzanne Rutland
Historian; author of The Jews in Australia

.. John Howard was not seen as such a strong supporter of Israel before he became prime minister, but today is seen as the best friend Israel has ever had. His political realities, including the strong support he gives to the United States, has enabled Australia to take a consistent stand at the United Nations in support of Israel, something that did not always happen in the Hawke years.

Digda. You dont think any of these things happen in lebanon or in Gaza. It is ok for someone to blow them self up in the middle of an Israeli Market. But its not ok for Israel to reply to it.

As you said Lebanon. Israel was replying to the kidnapping and murder of its soliders.

and the picture you put in is nothing to joke about. Thats is a picture most people saw live only once. They walked in and didnt walk out. How about you have some respect.

So supporting Israel is wrong?

Not everything Israel or their people do is wrong .....pray tell, what have we done wrong in this part of the world?

Just a senseless Howard/Israel bashing exercise.

it annoys me when people like you are too mentally feeble to understand the difference between the concept of "anti-zionism" and "anti-semitism"

there are huge numbers of Israelis who just want peace rather than the expulsion of Paledtinians

but the neo-conservative (zionists) want war, endless war...they are called Hawks and are no different to the Hawks in the White House who have been manufacturing wars for some time

i am against any nation using military means to oppress an ethnic minority - i am all for the rights and safety of Jewish and Israeli people the world over - just as i believe in the rights of Palestinians :(

...but I would never be so moronic as to confuse my non-support of a political persuasion (i.e. zionism) with an nation (Israel) or ethnic group (Jewish people)

why are you trying to make out that people who don't support zionism are anti-semitic?

tell me, do you support the rights of indigenous Australians land rights in that they are "getting back something that originally was theirs"?

i'll bet you a shiny dollar that you don't

It is pretty clear Didga is an anti-Semite.

If they spent as much time and effort hunting and killing God as they did Osama bin Hussein (or whoever the Septic scapegoat is these days) we'd have world peace already.

didn't you ever see Boyz in the Hood?

it's not OK for anyone to blow anyone up, it's not ok to shoot, bomb or maim civilians

it's not ok to destroy supposedly sacred sites in the name of potecting them from people with different beliefs

so dont start up with your relative moralism - there is only one way to stop the violence...bringing individuals to justice and account for their 'individual' roles in killing innocents...this should apply to Palestinian bombers, zionist shock troopers and US marines alike!

and the picture you put in is nothing to joke about. Thats is a picture most people saw live only once. They walked in and didnt walk out. How about you have some respect.

how dare you co-opt the symbols or icons of one evil regime to justify the evil acts of another regime 50 years later?

i would have thought that the major lesson from WW2 Germany was that a good and civilised people (i.e. 1930s Germany) could be conditioned into accepting and even participating in unspeakably brutal or evil behaviour through all-pervasive propoganda aimed at driving a wedge between ethnic groups

i would have thought it was appropriate use of the symbols if the thrust of the 'message' is anti-war or anti-oppression

tell me, what is your message?

i am not sure what he might have done to deserve the award but i have noticed a stange anomaly coming out of Canberra...

for example, i am happy for David Hicks to be jailed if he can be shown to have committed a crime but we have SEEN no evidence to suggest he was anything other than an idealist who got caught up in some ideological struggle on the other side of the world

and yet our government doesn't even care if he is tortured and imprisoned by our military ally - we don't care that he is not receiving the very 'liberty and freedom' that we are supposedly fighting for :confused:

here's what the government said when an Australian who joined up to the Israeli cause was sadly killed

"I just want to say how sad I am that an Australian has been killed and obviously we extend our condolences to the family and we'll provide whatever consular assistance is necessary in these circumstances," he said. "He was doing national service in Israel - I think national service lasts for two years.

can anyone explain to me how what Hicks did that was was any different to the guy who went to fight in Israel?

it seems to me that Hicks just backed the wrong side and now Downer and Howard are punishing him for it :rolleyes:

Poor little David made a bad habit of siding with the scum of this earth.
He flew half way round the world to join in the gypsy pogrom so it seems.
Whether he joined in the killings doesn't mean he was not willing.

Most of the kidnappings and murders of Serbs and Gypsies in Kosovo have been committed by members of the Kosovo Liberation Army exploiting the unwillingness of peacekeepers to intervene, according to a Human Rights Watch report

if you or anyone can produce some evidence of his involvement in war crimes and prosecute him, then he can be sentenced and imprisoned

until then, he has been denied the most funamental individual right that democracy enshrines

ffs he has not even been charged with anything after five years - if he is guilty of something, then surely an open and transparent court of law would convict him, wouldn't it?

or is he really just a political prisoner?

besides my point that you have avoided addressing was what difference is there between an Australian fighting for a foreign nation in Afganistan or Israel?

Look i see your point. If someone flies out of Australia to join a foreign miltia, army, whatever, i think they forfeit their rights. I don't agree with dual citizenships.

I agree with your concerns on Hicks, however - this has what to do with Howard being honoured with an award from Israel?

Also big difference between say serving with the Leb or Israel national army and a resistance/terrorist group.

I would vote for no Aussie being able to serve for any other group or nation and if they do - forfeit citizenship.

In all fairness to him, the Taliban were on the right side of the Yankees when he joined up (receiving $4 Billion annually to "fight the drug war".)

It was the Americans who changed sides, not David Hicks.

Quite a few Australians serve in the UK armed forces. Do you want to stop that?

Yes.

Can not have one rule for the homeland and one for others.

If you are an Aussie - serve Australia...why should the UK be exempt?

(Military swaps exempted...as you are still in the Oz army .....oh and the KISS army as I think I was in it)
