This Four Corners show is about a couple of dozen people I would consider fools, following some creed about a master race

Instead of looking at the much more important issue, the taxpayer-funded ABC is focused on some neo-Nazi sad sacks who’ve never had such attention in their tiny lives, and must now feel like heroes.

Liberal MP calls for ‘action’ against two NSW Health nurses involved in antisemitic video

They fooled me! Just days after two Muslim nurses boasted they’d kill Jewish patients, our ABC boasted its top current affairs show would expose the kind of extremists now terrifying Jews.

“This Four Corners investigation exposes the growing threat of homegrown extremism and the desperate calls for stronger action.”

Silly me, I thought: an ABC show on the “rise of radicalisation”?

Here was the ABC finally tackling a dangerous hatred it’s ignored or played down for years, or even fed itself by monstering Israel.

You laugh at me, but I bet even you could not have predicted these next sentences of this Four Corners promotion: “When Emily’s teenage son became withdrawn, she never imagined he had secretly joined Australia’s most prominent neo-Nazi group.”

What! This Four Corners show on Monday is instead about neo-Nazis?

About a couple of dozen people I would consider fools, following some creed about a master race, yet unlikely to even get elected as an Israel-hating Greens politician?

Unlikely to even get hired as an “anti-Zionist” ABC broadcaster?

Too friendless to get $840,000 from the Albanese government, unlike the Muslim academic who’d posted she was “inspired” by a terrorist who actually murdered Jewish children on a bus?

Yes, I’d fallen for a bait-and-switch from the taxpayer-funded ABC, distracting you yet again from the real threat.

Just consider the past few days.

Last Thursday, in Munich, an Afghan refugee shouting “Allahu Akbar” drove his car into a crowd, killing a mother and her child and injuring another 35 people.

On Friday, in Athens, two Israel tourists speaking Hebrew were followed by two Arabs, one from Gaza, who stabbed them.

On Saturday, in Austria, a Syrian refugee stabbed five strangers, killing a 14-year-old boy, while also reportedly crying “Allahu Akbar”. Arrested, he grinned and raised his index finger in the Islamic sign: Allah is the only god.

Concerns over widespread antisemitism in healthcare system

Also on Saturday, in Gaza, Islamist terrorists released the latest three of the Jewish hostages they kidnapped 16 months ago and starved and tortured.

Yet here we had health and government officials claiming how shocked they were – and surprised! – that two Muslim nurses, one a refugee from Afghanistan and the other born here, were filmed boasting they’d kill Jewish patients.

To be surprised is amazing.

Don’t our officials see what’s going on around the world? Didn’t they notice five Australians have already been killed in terrorism attacks by Muslims we’d taken in as refugees?

Of course, let’s again say what we non-Muslims always do: that most Muslims here want only peace. That these two nurses don’t represent the great majority of Muslims.

But note who hasn’t said that. Not one of our main Muslim groups. Not the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, the Australian National Imams Council, the Alliance of Australian Muslims, or the Australian Muslim Advocacy Network.

Their silence screams. Contrast: if Jewish doctors were filmed claiming – even as a “joke” – they’d kill Muslim patients, I’d guarantee every big Jewish organisation would damn them. So why haven’t Muslim groups done the same?

I assume it’s for the same reason they don’t damn Hamas or Hezbollah. For the same reason the then mufti of Australia, Sheik Taj El-Din Hilaly, praised as “god’s work against oppressors” the September 11 attacks by al-Qa’ida that killed almost 3000 American civilians.

It’s tribalism, reinforced by a militant religion. My tribe, right or wrong. Touch one, touch all.

That’s something our multiculturalist politicians and ABC journalists never wanted you to believe.

SBS even destroyed footage it filmed of Hilaly praising that September 11 mass murder of Americans, telling me it would give us the “wrong idea”.

Nonsense. In fact, our taxpayer-funded multicultural broadcaster was worried we’d get the right idea and realise multiculturalism had turned toxic. And the ABC is still at it, with extremely rare exceptions.

Jews have never been so terrified to live here, and not because it’s neo-Nazis bashing them, screaming outside their synagogues, waving flags of Islamist terrorist groups or bellowing: “Where’s the Jews?”

No, that’s extremist Muslims.

So the ABC screams: Don’t look Left! Look Right! See these few scumbags in black we’ve found, and freak over them.

Yeah, right. Let’s panic about some neo-Nazi sad sacks who have never had such attention in their tiny lives, and must now feel like heroes, playing the great monsters needed for the ABC’s script.
