Good on you, Paul Winter.
I fully support you. Our current Jewish leaders might be intelligent but weak to the point of embarrassment. This encourages our enemies. Instead of apologising for what he said, Vic should have said “The Israeli Defence Forces should be awarded the Noble Peace Prize for the way they conduct their campaign against this evil terror organisation, called Hamas.

Why be part of an organisation that purportedly seeks good relations such as NSW Community Relations Commission, when it so obviously is conditional on particular attitudes and thoughts? On the one hand Vic Alhadeff is better off out of it, on the other hand he should not allow himself to be bullied. There’s a certain amount of firmness required, chairing such an organisation, not just accommodation and well-meaning intention.
I heard Vic interviewed on ABC radio this morning, under considerable pressure from the interviewer, and was disappointed he didn’t more forcefully stand by his Statement issued to the Jewish community. She concentrated on possible regrets he might have had on issuing such a statement due to his apology for anybody he might have offended. While not owning up to regret, he did focus on not wishing to offend anybody. Big mistake. He has nothing to apologise for and should know that criticism of Hamas will be offensive to those who laud them – why weaken his position, and his Statement to the Jewish community, by concern for people such as these? Please, let us stand firm and proud for what we believe in, and for what we know.

Vic should have resigned when Baird showed his lack of principles and his hunger to get a bite of the mohammedan vote.

Any leader interested in democracy and Western values would have told the mohammedan champions of the terrorist group Hamas to shut up and fit in or to flit out (or better still to f*** off).

I am please that Vic was pushed off the CRC because it underscores my oft stated contention that our leadership are a pack of failures. I am please that it confirms that security for Jews in Australia is now severely lessened and that we must take steps to remedy that situation or make plans for alternate plans for our future.

The action of the mohammedan mob proves that however good relations with individual Muslims might be, our relations with the mohammedan leadership will never be anything other than hostile. When to mohammedans protest that someone dares to tell the truth about then and gets backing, it tells us that the community building, that multiculturalism has failed with the mohammedan cohort.

Multiculturalism has always been a two way street. Come the mohammedans and the leadership turns it into a one way street, with them on the footpath and the rest of us in the gutter. And if we don’t yield they bawl “racist” and “islamophobe”.

The only good thing about this matter, if I permit myself schadenfreud, is that Australian leaders like Baird, Fraser and Carr who stab us in the back are, in the long term, stabbing our fellow Australians in the back and in the long term, if people wake up before it is too late, they will gain prominent places in the halls of infamy.

I am really sorry that the bullies succeeded in pushing Vic out of a job he is so well qualified for. If some groups in Australia cannot tolerate a Jew expressing his views, it does not speak well for our multiculturalism.

I know Vic.
My observations are that he is professional, measured and if anything mild.
Personally I have thought he errs on the side of political correctness so as not to offend, rather than being at all aggressive in advocacy.
His email is factual and if you read the actual Hamas charter as I have, the comments from Vic are accurate if not understated.
The lesson from this episode is clear: The only type of interfaith to be tolerated by the Muslim representatives is dhimmitude. (This is the second class status of non-Muslims under sharia)

Vic’s resignation is a tragedy. I pray for Israel and it’s total restoration . It is a sham for Arab folk to hold the state to ransom because Hamas creates unmitigated terror and they back it. Or does Hamas has wider influence here than is recognised.
Bless your heritage and your people,
