Naive Demonstrators were  Set up for a publicity and political STING

The Players were:  1 The Israeli Embassy 2 The Protesters 3 The Pawns were The Families 4 The Police 5  The media News Corp 6 The Australian Jewery Town Criers

Activists were acting on information that the Embassy of Israel was hosting an event at the hotel. The details of the event weren’t known to them. Only who was hosting. We know there were, in fact, embassy delegates there, with a booking — it’s just that there also happened to be families at the hotel not at that event either attending another event elsewhere or simply staying there.

The protesters said:

“As always, our protest was directed toward those who hold power — the Israeli officials playing politics with Palestinian lives.”

They held their rally at about 10 PM to an audience of barely anybody. We’re told that families of hostages, returning to the hotel after that event elsewhere, felt unsafe and retreated to a nearby police station. OOPS! That’s terrible.

Now we know it was a mistake that this happened and was certainly not a case of any activist intentionally attempting to “organise a demonstration against grieving families”, to quote our Prime Minister.

So you are welcome to find the reporting tasteless, but you can also put to bed any discussion of suppressing peaceful protest. Correct? Because now we’re only talking about an incident with bad optics that was a mistake — an action undertaken based off of a lack of information. It’s not a case of intentionally targeting families. Now we know this.

THE STING

But knowing this doesn’t seem to have changed the breathless media coverage on the subject. The Australian quoted WACA as clarifying what its intentions and planned targets for the protest were, before moving on to quote Executive Council of Australian Jewry CEO Alex Ryvchin competing with others to have the most lurid quote regarding the protesters.

“Indistinguishable from Neo-Nazism,” said Ryvchin. “A cancer on our multicultural society,” said Zionism Victoria president Yossi Goldfarb. “A full-throated anti-Semitic movement,” said Anti-Defamation Commission chair Dvir Abramovich.

A protest against the families of Israeli hostages has been turned into a political stunt, providing our leaders with a reason to call for increased anti-protest laws.
