Malcolm Turnbull: Another Ozzie Suckhole?
Mar 15th, 2009 by Syd Walker

Who’s the biggest Zionist suckhole* in Australia?

Mr Rudd, former winner of No 1 Austraian Zionist Suckhole Prize

Kevin Rudd, Australia's former Zionist Suckhole of the Year

Until today, I thought the answer had to be Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. His cringing, on-call support for the Israeli apartheid nuclear-bomb-ready rogue State, coupled with his elevated political role, surely made him prime candidate.

I have wondered occasionally if Rupert Murdoch should wear the crown? After all, this ‘Protestant’ ‘Australian’, whose Sun-never-sets media Empire now rivals Queens Victoria’s in her heyday, has never employed an editor, to my knowledge, who takes an anti-Zionist stance. If it did, he/she certainly didn’t last long. That’s quite an accomplishment if you own hundreds upon hundreds of newspapers – and leads one to wonder if this man’s rise to stellar heights in the global media jungle didn’t enjoy a certain amount of ‘outside assistance’.

Frank Lowy

Frank Lowy: not allowed to enter

Zionist billionaire Frank Lowy doesn’t qualify. He is Jewish. If he wasn’t, he’d have a good chance. But surely Jews aren’t eligible for this competition? It would be unfair to all concerned.

Anyhow, today I realized that, notwithstanding my occasional fondness for the perspicacious Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull, he’s probably Australia’s No 1 Zionist suckhole of the moment.

This is what Malcolm said to the United Israel Appeal’s (UIA) Victorian appeal launch at Crown Palladium last Thursday night, as reported in the Australian Jewish News:

“[Foreign Minister] Stephen Smith should not be going to Geneva and Kevin Rudd should not be sending him there,” Turnbull said.

The federal Government is waiting to see the final wording for the draft outcome document before making its final decision on whether to attend. It is not expected to make the decision until at least Tuesday.

Smith met with Executive Council of Australian Jewry president Robert Goot and Zionist Federation of Australia president Philip Chester this week to discuss the conference’s latest draft outcomes document, which some observers believe to believe more toxic than the motions passed at the first conference in 2001.

Turnbull said the conference would again cast a poor light on the United Nations. “It will be an appalling example of anti-Semitism and Israel bashing, tragically under the auspices of the UN.”

“The United States has already decided that the conference is not salvageable and has decided not to attend. We in the Liberal Party agree and believe that Australia should withdraw immediately.”

The Opposition has lambasted the Government’s hesitation to make a decision. Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop asked Smith in Parliament on Wednesday why the Government has not yet withdrawn.

Stephen Smith

Smith: Whatever it takes...

“If we form the view that the text is going to lead to nothing more than an anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic harangue, and an anti-Jewish propaganda exercise, Australia will not be in attendance,” Smith said.

Meanwhile, Turnbull also took the opportunity at the UIA function to lambast the federal Government for voting against Israel in a pair of UN resolutions late last year. He expressed concern that it was part of Australia’s bid to win a seat on the UN Security Council in 2012.

This Year's Australia Zionist Suckhole of the Year

“It has been tradition for Australian governments of both persuasions to solidly support Israel in every forum, which is why we haven’t supported the one-sided motions that are presented in UN forums,” he said.

“We hope that this change, which we were very disappointed with, does not have anything to do with the current effort by the Prime Minister to garner support for us winning a seat on the UN Security Council.”

“Let me be very clear about this: Australia should never get into the business of trading on principle our support for Israel to win the support of those who favour we seek to win a seat on the Security Council.”

* Suckhole: A rude Australian expression, occasionally employed by opposition leaders, which means exactly what it sounds like it means.
