Following the Bondi massacre that occurred a little over a week ago, NSW Premier Chris Minns has brought in tougher laws on guns and protests. The latter gives police the power to enact a blanket refusal of all public assemblies for up to three months after a terrorist incident.
Sounds reasonable, but not to Nasser Mashni, the face of Israel-hatred in Australia. At a press conference at NSW parliament with other Israel haters to announce they’d challenge the laws, Mashni blasted Chris Minns.
Alas, he succeeding in once again letting slip his antipathy towards the Jewish people.
APAN President @iamthenas barely a week after the Bondi massacre (complaining about proposed new laws to ban mass antisemitic protests). But do tell us you have had nothing to do with the rise of Jew hatred in Australia, Nasser! pic.twitter.com/7Aiw7gRLym

Imagine thinking that barely a week after Australia’s worst-ever terrorist incident – which solely targeted Australian Jews – suggesting Australian Jews are somehow priviledged is a good idea. Besides being an antisemitic trope, it can only serve to increase resentment towards the Jewish community.
If this is the “anti-racist” movement he claims to represent, then he’s doing a stellar job of exposing it.
Mashni’s comments aren’t just offensive, they are dangerous. Framing a traumatized community as “privileged” while they are literally still burying their dead is a dog-whistle designed to shift the public’s focus from the victims of terror to a manufactured grievance. He’s providing a masterclass in how to incite resentment against a community that has already suffered the unthinkable. He isn’t interested in civil liberties or the right to protest; he is interested in ensuring that even in the wake of a massacre, the victims are painted as the villains.
It is a grotesque display of moral inversion that proves, once again, that for Mashni, hatred of the Jewish state always trumps basic human decency.
