Carr obviously was prepared to denigrate and delegitimise the Jewish claim to appease those Islamic nations who were lobbying him – abandoning the principles laid down by former Labor foreign minister Dr Evatt who chaired the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine that in 1947 recommended the partition of what was left of Palestine (after 78% known as. Transjordan was granted independence in 1946) into a Jewish State and another second Arab State.

There was no mention then of a “Palestinian State”. Did this ever cross Carr’s mind?

Carr must have hated being reminded that the Arabs rejected the Evatt committee recommendation and sent seven Arab armies into Palestine to drive the Jews into the sea.

Carr must have squirmed when any Jews dared to tell him that the Arabs had rejected proposal after proposal by the Jews to bury the hatchet starting back in 1922 and did nothing to create a state in the West Bank and Gaza between 1948-1967after all the Jews living there had been expelled.

He made an historic appearance on the steps of the Lakemba mosque seeking to unilaterally change labor party policy that had remained steadfastly firm to the principles of Dr Evatt.

Carr’s conduct is well documented in the following series of articles written by me and published on various news sites on the Internet – including Jwire

Read them and the Jew hating comments my articles provoked at your leisure at:

My articles were critical of Carr trying to fit Prime Minister Rudd and Labor with an anti-Jewish policy made on the run at the Lakemba mosque – with Rudd refusing to confirm it was indeed his view and Labor policy.

Carr had ample opportunities to publicly deny my claims but never raised even a whimper.

Carr is obviously very bitter at being out of a job for which he must share the blame as a result of his extraordinary attempt to subvert Labor Party policy

Blaming his retirement on the Israel lobby Is an easy cop out and a sure success to gaining publicity for his book.

Maybe he should reflect that it was the Australian voters that rejected his anti – Israel stance. Had he listened to the Israeli lobby he might still be enjoying the trappings and perks that foreign ministers enjoy.

He succumbed to the powerful Islamic lobby.

That was certainly his prerogative – but it has resulted in his being consigned to the diplomatic graveyard that has claimed foreign ministers around the world who have ignored the international verdicts of the League of Nations and the United Nations at their peril.

It seems like hunger and desperation and desire for freedom are almost prerequisites for even having a good party…..

Much more concerning is that Carr gives legitimacy to letter writers like one Robert Mann who called for details on the lobby, its effects on Australian government policy – implying that anyone who is an Israel supporter is thus an Israel firster and consequently disloyal to Australia – and that that lobby manipulates politicians behind the scenes. This echoes the theme of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The other matter of concern is the spineless response of our local leaders. That Curr should have been roundly and publicly denounced. Instead we have some half humorous swipes at him. Our leadership seems to think that ignoring the impact of the insinuations – denying it oxygen, if you wish – will minimise their impact.
