Australia had to evacuate our reps in Iran to a third country, before today’s announcement. To prevent hostage-taking

 

[BFew]

Article today confirming that the Dural Caravan incident is currently still classified as not linked to Iran.

https://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/iran-directed-antisemitic-attacks-in-melbourne-and-sydney-afp-confirms-as-pm-expels-ambassador/news-story/c6d234d1afad1e7f8e4b8ca269534523

...
Law enforcement agencies are resolute Iran is not linked to the Sydney caravan bomb plot, while being guarded about other attacks that are under investigation. The AFP stood by its public declaration in March that an explosives-laden caravan found with a note containing a list of Jewish sites and the words “f. k the Jews” was a fake terrorism plot tied to organised crime.

In the wake of Mr Albanese’s stunning revealtins on Tuesday, the AFP confirmed there was no change to its position on the caravan found at Dural in January, reaffirming previous comments made by deputy commissioner Krissy Barrett. Ms Barrett, who will be promoted to commissioner of the AFP in October, said in March that the caravan plot was “concocted by criminals who wanted to cause fear for personal benefit”.

If it was Scomo or Dutton doing this presser with ASIO, I wouldn't believe them either.

Reminds me of the ASIO - Iraq WMD rubbish.

Show us the evidence.

Less than 48 hours after hundreds of thousands marched all across the country demanding sanctions on a country committing a holocaust.


Who was it said something about to see who rules over you look at who you can't critisise?

Why can't you believe this? Iran has been busted many times, there really is history.

The only thing the government's done is expelled the Ambassador, that's it. They can't really do any more, it's not like we're going to do war on Iran because they're behind a couple of incidents.

US intelligence is involved. Feels like they are manufacturing consent.

I'm not too impressed with this government but firmly finding Iran behind a couple of antisemitic attacks isn't really acting against antisemitism.

Our intelligence agencies have probably known for a while, it might be convenient in some respects to bring this announcement forward now. But I don't think anybody's making it up.

I'm just not buying what they are selling without reading the fine print.

Due diligence or something.

Ok. Lets say it did come from Iran. It leads to more questions after Israel's recent bragging about having embedded agents there.

Yes ... I'm sure our intelligence agencies are across this and I thought it was common knowledge. Iran's been rounding people up and executed one or two they suspected of spying recently. One for sure but I didn't follow up how the rest of them fared.

Iran also has their spies all over the world.

If I was a westerner over there atm, I'd get out as fast as I could.

Might be time for a new thread name. Seems more and more of these crimes were money related or fabricated to sow seeds of division, rather than motivated by religious intolerance.

An 'editorial' in The Australian newspaper today far below (rightly, wrongly or something in between) still has them classified as anti-Semetic attacks.

Although the below appears to be ignoring that the young criminals physically carrying out the attacks were all (assumed from that has been reported so far) paid (in some way) to undertake the attacks.

What would be interesting to know (albeit rather controversial and is never going to happen) would be to interrogate all the alleged and guilty attackers, if they would have been prepared to have carried out similar attacks (if remunerated) on churches, mosques, and other buildings that had nothing to do with any religion whatsoever, like government schools, supermarkets, medical centres. To try and ascertain whether there were any underlying factors that were influencing whether to accept or reject the criminal work of attacking Jewish related buildings in ways that had the potential to cause injury or loss of life (including psychological injury), as well as physical, financial and other consequences that occur in these range of attacks.

Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel is a component of the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism. Which is what one could strongly argue is a key component of what the Iranian State backed IRGC is alleged to have done in the two Sydney/Melbourne attacks they are now alleged (by Australian authorities) to have instigated behind the scenes. That Iran ordered the attacks on Australian Jewish 'assets' as punishment to it's enemy the State of Israel, and Jewish people in Australia supporting the State of Israel.

Holding all Israeli residents, or all Israeli citizens, or Jewish people in Israel, responsible for all actions of the State of Israel is bad enough, let alone collectively holding all practising and non-practising people of Jewish faith or heritage (in Australia or any other country) responsible for all actions of the State of Israel.

Keeping in mind, that collective responsibility (and collective punishment) being alleged to be used by the State of Israel against Palestinians in Gaza in regards to Hamas, is still a live war crimes issue.

...
Mr Burgess and investigators, supported by Five Eyes security partners including US intelligence, have excelled at protecting the nation, connecting the dots of a complex network of encrypted communications, cryptocurrency and financial transactions crisscrossing the globe. They focused on young criminals in Australia who were actively recruited, radicalised online and encouraged to commit anti-Semitic attacks. As Mr Burgess said: “Iran and its proxies literally and figuratively lit the matches and fanned the flames … It’s a layer cake of cut-outs between the IRGC and the person or the alleged perpetrators conducting crimes.” In between, they tapped into agents of the IRGC and people they knew in the criminal world and worked through them. “There’s an organised crime element offshore in this,” Mr Burgess said. “They put lives at risk, they terrified the community and tore at our social fabric.”'

Synagogues, Jewish schools, homes and vehicles have been targeted and linked to Iran and you think antisemitism doesn't fit the description? How would you describe it if Mossad had been directly linked to attacks on Australian mosques, Muslim schools, vehicles and property? Would you be in a thread labeled "Islamophobic attacks" and arguing for a name change.

I took that post as this happenening more due to lower economic people taking the monetry value offered by Iran, rather than themselves being the full blown Jew hating anti-semites.

Anti-semitism is still involved though no doubt, but possibly (I hope anyway) pushed harder due to this rather than Australia having a bigger issue as a whole.

Now look at the thread name. What is inaccurate about it? He clearly thinks the antisemitism part. You and I both disagree with him on this, but it's obvious what he is saying.

I get that the people ordered to do the attacks may not actually be antisemitic, but that's like saying if the KKK hired thugs to attack black businesses, places of worship, and schools, that it wouldn't be accurate to label them 'racist attacks' because the hired thugs weren't themselves racist...

Peter Jennings in The Australian also brings up another important aspect - the protest marches.

"Finally, many participants in protests in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other capital cities should now rethink their involvement in a movement that, at its fringes, poses a threat to national security.

We see on our television screens that these protests are not simply comprised of good-spirited people wanting peace in the Middle East. There are individuals holding the Hamas flag and carrying pictures of the Iranian Supreme Leader.

The Palestinian protest movement remains at its fringes a dangerous cauldron of extremist ideology, which we now know is vulnerable to manipulation by foreign governments.

Anyone that thinks that it’s a simple matter to participate in a protest movement needs to understand that they run the risk of aligning themselves with actors that have bad intentions for our country."
