I meant the Swiss one. Antony Loewenstein I regret to say I know well.
I knew about Rhiannon's background. It always surprises me this should come as a surprise.
The mother would have been in Israel as Stalin's spy or maybe even envoy. As we know Stalin believed he would grab Israel for himself because the Jews would be so grateful to him for beating Hitler.
Likely he would have been persuaded by the number of deluded Stalinist Jews. Israel of course was never going to be anything other than a liberal democracy. He would not have understood that and regarded it as a betrayal. He hated Jews and Israel from that moment on.
The "left" then swung from Israel to "Palestine" as suddenly as it swung from Hitler to Britain the moment he recovered from the shock of the invasion. Communist parties and their fronts switched from sympathy for the Jews and Israel to demonising Israel and lionising "Palestinians" as suddenly as they switched from sabotaging the war effort to war patriotism in 1940.
It is interesting that Rhiannon seamlessly connected her own very nasty Stalinist past with the present. ("As some of you would know I've been on the left a long time" [snigger])
Truly disgusting. I will never forgive the Greens for delivering this horror to the Australian Senate.
Who was that nice man?
ReplyDeleteAntony Loewenstein, I presume you mean, geoffff.
ReplyDeleteThe Swiss one is Oskar Freysinger.

Yes, I was a bit dozy in thinking you mean Antony, geoff. I hadn't heard of Freysinger before the video was sent my way.
