The protest was specifically against including in The Dawn Service a five-minute Welcome to Country that sounds more like a my-country-not-yours speech by a race warrior

Is it surprising that some Australians object to being effectively told that even soldiers who died for this land still can’t call it their own?

A neo-Nazi booed at Melbourne’s Anzac Day Dawn Service and suddenly journalists and politicians couldn’t think straight.

Let’s agree on the obvious: disrupting the service is a dog act.

It ruins the moment for people wanting to pay their respects, not have a fight.

So we should also be upset at the clown at the Australian War Memorial ceremony who yelled “Free Palestine”.

But it was a neo-Nazi, Jacob Hersant, who was the sole focus of the tsunami of condemnation for allegedly leading the booing of the Welcome to Country at Melbourne’s service.

Again, agreed: this moron deserves the kicking.

Why was he even there, having been convicted for publicly flashing a Hitler salute as he called out “Heil Hitler”?

Having a Hitler freak exploit the deaths of Australians who died fighting Hitler is grotesque.

So far, then, agreed.

Neo-Nazi Jacob Hersant was the sole focus of the tsunami of condemnation.

Now, let’s look at what this boorish “protest” was not.

It was not, as Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan claimed, a show “of disrespect and dishonour to every man and woman who has served our nation”.

No, it was specifically against including in The Dawn Service a five-minute Welcome to Country that sounds more like a my-country-not-yours speech by a race warrior.

Most who do say nothing at Anzac Day.

They have manners.

Neo-Nazis have none, and some started yelling, although the video I’ve watched suggests quite a few people called out, from various parts of the crowd.

Were they all neo-Nazis?

Of course, Liberal leaders such as Peter Dutton didn’t want to question including a Welcome to Country to The Dawn Service.

Reporters would just slime them as defenders of neo-Nazis.

That’s wrong.

Neo-Nazis are against the Welcome because they are racists, and want “their” race to win.

Anti-racists dislike the Welcome because they hate racial division by anyone, and especially when it divides our war dead by race.

That’s why I hated Hersant even being at the service, and also didn’t like the chants to drown him out – “always was, always will be” – by people insisting this was the land of Aboriginals, and not of our dead soldiers.

Anzac Day is meant to unite us.

So say no to racial division on this one day at least, from a race warriors of both the Right and Left.
