Very unfortunate (and embarrassing) that Israel and USA both have dorks for leaders.
Oh no, not tensions with Israel… They, well they do like… Stuff and things for the global good!
Public diplomacy shouldn’t turn into a schoolyard fight. Idiots!
Who are we talking about ?
From the article:
*Simcha Rothman, a member of the Knesset for the far-right party Religious Zionism, has described Palestinian children in Gaza as “enemies”*
Hey now Israel you guys are in an operation to evict people from another country, FROM THEIR OWN COUNTRY, how you going to bitch about people not letting you into theirs.
In addition to his extremist rhetoric, Rothman has a history of [extremely poor behaviour](https://www.timesofisrael.com/charges-filed-against-mk-rothman-as-he-forcibly-grabs-megaphone-from-nyc-protester/) while visiting other countries. Australia is under no obligation to admit anyone that is not Australian.
Their country, their rules
If you can’t behave, you can’t come. And tit-for-tat continue.
Anything to do against Knesset is an objectively good move
Albo isn’t in the Epstein files, presumably. One wonders what dirty tricks and false-flags are in the making.
No problem with denying the visa – each country gets to decide who comes in. Just as Israel gets to remove visas from Australian diplomats.
Good. Everyone from Religious Zionism and Otzma Yehudit (and that one human shitstain from No’am, Avi Ma’oz) should learn that their nutjob rhetoric has consequences.
The [two muslim nurses](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/feb/12/sydney-nsw-health-nurses-stood-down-alleged-antisemitic-video-threats-israel-bankstown-hospital-ntwnfb) who says they don’t treat jew and said they’ll try to do a liquidation at jews
Yeh nah yeah denied, we in Australia don’t need radicals of any kind. It creates to much public discourse, and we don’t even let in music artists with crazy ideas. We have enough crazies to deal with in the country of all kinds.
Really weird move
so? let the tensions be heightened
We don’t want trash coming to this country. And I’m talking about the „Zi“, not people of that religion.
>far-right
That seems to be the new politically correct and acceptable label for fascist. Keeping fascists out would seem to be the wise policy any democracy should embrace.
I say this as an Israeli – fuck Simcha Rotman.
Let’s just ban everybody from everything if we don’t agree with them! /s
