Anti-Israel monsters protesting against visit of Israeli president in Australia are atrocious, but so is the local MSM coverage

The anti-Israeli Islamofascists in Australia predictably organized to commit violence at a location he was visiting. Herzog had the following to say to them:

President Isaac Herzog on Thursday delivered a pointed message to the anti-Israel protesters who have dogged his visit to Australia: Protest against Iran, not Israel and the Australian Jews who support it.

Addressing some 4,000 people at a large communal event on the last day of his solidarity visit, he said it was “obscure and odd” that heavy police protection was needed to ensure Jews could gather peacefully with the president of Israel, following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in December.

“To all those protesters outside, go protest in front of the Iranian embassy,” Herzog said, adding that Iran operates an “empire of evil” responsible for mass bloodshed. Israel was “literally protecting the free world and its values” by combating that threat, he added.

One of the worst things about this incident is that the local press Down Under was sympathetic to the monsters, for whom the doors were flung wide open to live there in the years after the horror stories of sexual violence that occurred in the past quarter century and led to the Cronulla beach riots. Though here's one local columnist who did recognize what's wrong with the Islamofascists who led the whole debacle:

I have been an on-the-ground news reporter at protests in Australia and Europe.

Some became violent. One, a protest in London to oppose the Iraq War, was hair-raisingly so. [...]

The spectacle of armed police “bashing” an “innocent bystander” is usually the moment at which the thin veneer of civility peels away and some protesters become animals.

The ones who do often have no idea what the protest is about. They are professional anarchists. We saw them at work this week at Sydney’s Town Hall.

They weren’t there because they love Palestine. Most couldn’t identify Herzog in a police line-up or come close to pinpointing Gaza on a map.

They were there because they love to riot and a march in the name of geopolitical justice is a good foil for that. If it wasn’t Herzog it would be climate change. Or transgender activism.

The organisers of pro-Palestinian protests are shooting themselves in the foot by allowing their campaign to be hijacked by hooligans.

And they’re putting a bullet in their other foot by choosing the wrong moment to make their point.

I don’t know what the right moment is, but I know it’s not when Israel’s President is in Australia to pay respect to the victims of a national tragedy.

Well that's correct. There's a whole cottage industry devoted to pandering to violence-worshiping monsters out there, one that doubtless even includes predators who blame victims, including the people who were murdered in the Columbine bloodbath in Colorado in 1999, recalling a creepy character from Maine who did something like that a quarter century ago on an online forum. As I've long since been aware, a northeastern region like Maine's long been a subject of leftist indoctrination, so it may not be too surprising you could have people there who're hostile to Israel and even the victims of September 11, 2001. But it's still obviously as sad as it's repulsive. And this is a similar situation now going on in Australia.
