In the below, Bibi took a page out of the Trump playbook, and told it like it is to the Australian Government. Straight talk, non diplomatic talk. Good for Bibi!
Israeli officials were quick to lay blame for the deadly shooting in Sydney, Australia, at the feet of the nation's government on Sunday, saying it had ignored "countless warning signs" of antisemitism.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu read aloud at a government meeting a letter that he sent to Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese earlier this year when Albanese declared his support for a Palestinian state.
"Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on the antisemitic fire. It rewards Hamas terrorists. It emboldens those who menace Australian Jews and encourages the Jew hatred now stalking your streets. Antisemitism is a cancer. It spreads when leaders stay silent; it retreats when leaders act. I call upon you to replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve," Netanyahu read.
"Instead, Prime Minister, you replaced weakness with weakness and appeasement with more appeasement. Your government did nothing to stop the spread of antisemitism in Australia. You did nothing to curb the cancer cells that were growing inside your country. You took no action. You let the disease spread and the result is the horrific attacks on Jews we saw today," Netanyahu said.
