Sammy Yahood accuses Labor of ‘tyranny’ after the government cancelled his visa hours before his flight was due to depart

The right-leaning Australian Jewish Association (AJA) said Sammy Yahood’s visa was cancelled three hours before his flight was due to depart.

The AJA has criticised the cancellation of Yahood’s visa, and said he was scheduled to speak to the AJA in major synagogues and to other organisations across Australia.

“Sammy is the latest Jew to have his visa cancelled by this government. As in other cases, they wait until the last minute,” the organisation wrote on X.

“Parliament just voted to increase the powers of Toby [sic] Burke to cancel visas as an apparent response to support the Jewish community following the Bondi massacre.”

    Yahood has made multiple posts on X, formerly Twitter, calling Islam a “murderous ideology”, a “disgusting ideology”, and claiming Islam “cannot be trusted to simply ‘co-exist’”. On 6 November, he wrote on X: “It’s time to ban Islam. It’s time to stop being tolerant of those that are not tolerant of us.”

    What do you disagree with specifically?

        Judaism isn’t as expansionist as Islam, but I’ll give you that the orthodox community is absolutely awful to women and children, and there are violent extremist sections like in Islam. We should abolish both - and also Christianity, while we’re at it.

          Arout 90% of Jews worldwide are Zionists, meaning they are striving to ethnically cleanse the Middle East for Lebensraum and replace everyone with Jews.

          Last time I checked it wasn’t Palestinian Muslims or Christians destroying eachothers holy sites.

          Currently it’s more expansionist than Islam. Also lol at “We should make it illegal to believe an abrahamic religion.” Least authoritarian Australian.

            I’d need a source on Judaism being expansionist. From what I learned, they actively discourage converts, and the world population is in the millions, not over a billion as Islam is. Also, by abolish, I didn’t mean legally prohibit belief. That would never work, anyway, god is a higher authority than the law. I just meant we should get rid of the religions - through education, teaching critical thinking, valuing truth, etc. And certain harms carried out by religion should also be made illegal, but that’s not restricting belief, just harmful actions that affect other people - as we already do.

          It’s funny how I was fighting Christianity for years and the left said nothing, if anything they cheered me on, now I fight Islam for far worse reasons (the recent bondi massacre, mass murder across the middle east and africa, the constant undermining of Australian values, I am fundamentally opposed to the hijab, literally fucking ISIS etcetc) and it makes what I was fighting Christians for look like childs play (intelligent design, the bible isn’t accurate, does god really exist etc)

          I never imagined far left people like geneva_convenience would end up falling off a cliff and sounding like a nazi, horseshoe theory is real eh?

            Stop fighting this broad amorphous thing called ‘religions’. Fight policies, fight extremist ideologies of all kinds, afterall they generally end up with very similar policies of a need to dominate and top heavy hedonistic wealth accumulation.

            For example, theres plenty of shit atheists, being a good person isn’t in what you purport to believe, its in what you do and act on every single day. By this measure theres plenty of good christians, jews, hindus, muslims, atheists, et al.

              fight extremist ideologies of all kinds

              I do largely? I’m very anti-nazi but it’s just there’s one very clear extremist ideology that’s killing my friends that everyone seems to be dancing around

              For example, theres plenty of shit atheists

              When atheists shoot up Bondi killing 15, take hostages in the lindt cafe, wave the atheist flag while decapitating, torturing and beheading across the middle east and africa

              If atheists start demanding women cover themselves up from head to toe, throw gays off of rooftops, suicide bomb, behead, gang rape

              Or to bring it back to Australia: Even as simple as get infiltrated by evil dictator worshippers (who recently got potentially up to 30,000 Iranian civilians killed) with somehow everyone around not even noticing??? Who’s the greens member in the photo?

              Or getting ISIS flags waved on the Sydney Harbour Bridge for the first time:

              That’s pretty infuriating by itself tbh

              I’ve already had a go at the ‘former atheist’ and absolute dork Jihadi Jake:

              The Australian government is investigating unconfirmed reports that an Australian teenage Muslim convert who ran away to join Islamic State (IS) has carried out a suicide attack in Iraq. Details of casualties were not immediately known. Last year, he talked online to BBC Newsnight’s Secunder Kermani.

              https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-31845428

              But again, look who’s involved :P

              Also jeez 2015, damn I been complaining for a long time

              By this measure theres plenty of good christians, jews, hindus, muslims, atheists, et al.

              Yes I can say this as well, there’s many very nice Muslims, some who drink and don’t pray daily, some who barely follow it at all, cultural muslims in the same way as cultural christians

              But would you ever say there’s plenty of good Nazi’s? If you don’t talk politics I think you’ll find many are perfectly cromulant to have a chat to, and we have to remember, the majority of Nazi’s were just ordinary German (and ((Vichy)) French) civilians, they didn’t hurt anyone :)

              But despite them being good people, it’s still a bad ideology, and I want nothing to do with it.

              Like we can debate judiasm and christianity, but debating Islam is the only one that’ll get me killed

              There’s nothing else like Islam, not even close:

                That answer has displayed, yet again, a complete lack of understanding of the individual and societal drivers that cause radicalisation. Religion is the excuse, but anger has causal connections to people’s material wellbeing, such as economic stability, subjugation as a group or as an individual (think about the M.O. for all those US school shooters, they’re often like your example of jihadi jake).

                The simple answer of ‘Islam is the target’ is at best selfish to our physical selves in our own time and leaves any manner of ongoing issues for future generations to deal with.

                Bondi??? Come on…

                What do you reckon the beliefs of the Bondi stabber were? Despite the false and societally damaging claims of Islamist, he was defintiely not, and probably christian or atheist (doesn’t say what though). What about Desi Freeman, or any of the murderers in this post.

                These are all radicalised people, harming others. Islamist terror attacks might be more numerous against Australians now, but they won’t be forever, and by targeting the group and not the root societal causes you leave the real problems to fester and harm different groups of people, out of each different group (religious or other) some will be radicalised.

                Stalin, Pol-pot, Lenin, Mao all claimed at one stage or another to be atheists, they’re examples for you of truly terrible atheists, they had communist ideologies, but not religion. I find it hard to believe Stalin really had an ideology though, he was just pedo cunt I think, so of you really want a non-ideological mass murderer try him, or the Kim (NK) clan.

                Also, you can say Islam is a bad ideology, and you want nothing to do with it. Thats okay, best thing to do is move through your life without going out of your way at every instance to attack Islam as a group with examples of individuals of that group showing their personal extremism. By attacking the group, we only fan the persuasive flames of the radicals exploiting the existing prejudices and causes of societal dejection these often, young men, feel.

                To take your examples of the bridge flag cunts. If you blamed those people, and said what dickheads are they, instead of blaming all Islam for what ISIS represents, (which is how it comes across in your comments), I think you’d have a much better reaction from people. But instead your comments flatten the beliefs of millions of people under one homogeneous identity.

                A personal source to end: I grew up with a Muslim, one of the most peaceful bastards I know. I also grew up with atheists, one of those I just found out beat and emotionally tormented his ex-wife. Go figure.

                  So this is a good reply but I can’t reply to it all otherwise I’ll be writing a book and I want to go to sleep but the main thing that catches me:

                  What do you reckon the beliefs of the Bondi stabber were? Despite the false and societally damaging claims of Islamist, he was defintiely not

                  really?

                  This bro:

                  This guy:

                  Naveed Akram appeared to have been tagged in a 2022 social media post stating that he had passed his Koran studies at the Al-Murad Institute in Heckenberg, western Sydney.

                  This guy?

                  Alleged Bondi gunman Naveed Akram has been given a copy of the Koran and met with a [muslim] chaplain while being detained over last month’s horrific massacre.

                  https://thenightly.co.au/australia/bondi-shooting-naveed-akrams-two-prison-requests-police-prepare-for-philippines-trip-to-probe-isis-links-c-21350414

                  Well if he’s not a muslim he’s doing a pretty good job pretending 😜

                  (think about the M.O. for all those US school shooters, they’re often like your example of jihadi jake).

                  I get what you’re saying but but to me there is no resolve for Islam, unlike school shooters who are mislead kids, my resolve would be to fix the school system and whatever it is that’s causing them to lash out in such a harmful way, is access to guns to easy? then we need to restrict them, are schools not noticing when kids are going down a dark path? then we need to improve monitoring and child welfare.

                  On the other hand I cannot make peace with Islam or Nazism with ‘some people who follow it are friendly and others are mean, therefore it’s not the ideology it’s the person’, as someone who is anti-religion I have no desire to reform it or make peace with it, I simply don’t care for it or religion in general

                  I need to read the rest of your post tomorrow but I just want to say thanks for actually replying with a proper post, most of the people here on Lemmy don’t seem to have the capacity to respond beyond one line snarky responses so I appreciate it

                Incompetence/luck is the only reason this type of scenario didn’t play out in Perth yesterday.

                Morons are going to Moron. They come in all shapes and sizes, all nationalities and religions (or no religion). Lumping them all together with people who aren’t morons is just silly.

            People seem to think just because they’re a minority in Western countries (they’re NOT in the middle east) they deserve moral protection, or something. It’s really weird.
