The Guardian Australia, Friday:
THE Australian border protection vessel carrying 157 Tamil asylum-seekers is on its way ... the government plans to take the asylum-seekers to Curtin detention centre in Western Australia.
Failure! Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young tweets, Friday:
MR Morrison is a spectacular failure by his own measure, as well as the measure of the international community and decent caring Australians
India will tell us how to behave. David Marr, The Guardian Australia, Frid ay:
WHATEVER the minister says, he didn’t stop this boat. Scott Morrison was ... white as a sheet ... India is calling the shots here ... it’s been left to India to tell us to behave ourselves ... India. ...
India! Hanson-Young, Sunday:
INDIA is not a signatory to the refugee convention, they don’t have the same legal obligations as Australia ... What’s next? Will we allow the Sri Lankan government to come in and interview the Tamils? Would we go so far as to allow ISIS to interrogate those who have fled Iraq?
UN High Commissioner for Refugees Country Report, 2014:
ALTHOUGH India ... and Sri Lanka are not signatories to the 1951 Refugee Convention, they offer asylum to a considerable number of refugees ... UNHCR co-operates with the governments of these countries ... India grants asylum and provides direct assistance to some 200,000 refugees from neighbouring countries ... Sri Lanka has seen a growing number of people arriving seeking asylum ... The return of Sri Lankan refugees will continue ...
Mike Carlton, The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday:
IT is a breathtaking irony that these atrocities (in Gaza) can be committed by a people ... who hold the Warsaw Ghetto and the six million dead of the Holocaust at the centre of their race memory.
Howard Jacobson, T he Independent, February 18, 2009:
WHAT do we ... think we are doing when we call the Israelis Nazis and liken Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto? ... In the early 1940s some 100,000 Jews and Romanis died of engineered starvation and disease in the Warsaw Ghetto, another quarter of a million were transported to the death camps, and when the Ghetto rose up it was liquidated, the last 50,000 residents being either shot on the spot or ... murdered ... in Treblinka. Don’t mistake me: every Palestinian killed in Gaza is a Palestinian too many, but there is not the remotest similarity, either in intention or in deed — even in the most grossly misreported deed — between Gaza and Warsaw.
Carlton, the SMH, Saturday:
FASCISM in Israel? At this point the Australian Likudniks, as Bob Carr calls them, will be lunging for their keyboards. There will be the customary torrent of abusive emails calling me a Nazi, an anti-Semite, a Holocaust denier, an ignoramus.
Malcolm Fraser tweets Saturday:
INDEED, fascism, the wheel turns
Haven’t we heard that before? Fraser tweets, July 4:
HANDING AS (asylum-seekers) back to SL navy at sea redolent off (sic) handing Jews to Nazis in 1930s
Richard Cohen, The Washington Post, June 29, 2010:
THE term “Islamic fascism” gets thrown around a lot ... Paul Berman ... makes a solid case that it can ... be applied to Hamas ... (he) traces their intellectual pedigree to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, whose founder, Hassan al-Banna, greatly admired Hitler, and to Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who spent ... World War II in Germany cozying up to Hitler, organising a Muslim SS unit and ... remonstrating with the Nazis for not killing enough Jews. ... Husseini ... continues to be revered as a Palestinian patriot.
