Israeli Mossad’s use of Australian passports: Australian government should end its cooperation with this rogue state

While the Social Justice party (SJP) is satisfied with our PM, Hon Kevin Rudd, initial response to the revelation by police in Dubai that some of the new suspects identified in the assassination of a senior Hamas member last month were travelling on Australian passports. But we are waiting to see our government taking further steps to discipline this rogue state.

“The assassins’ use of wide range of developed countries’ passports is further proof that Israel is real threat on global security” said Jamal Daoud, spokesperson of SJP. “The Israeli government is the only government that resort to such actions of extrajudicial steps that expose large numbers of civilians to many threats”

“The Australian government’s persistent support of Israeli’s crimes against humanity including voting against international will last year for UN general assembly’s adopting Goldstone’s report gave Israel wrong message of support of its illegal activities”

After police of Dubai’s revelation, we expect serious implications against Australia and its citizens. This will include international arrest warrant of Australian citizens who insist that they did not commit any crime. It is the responsibility of Australian government, as per our constitution, to protest our citizens.

It will also further damage the image of Australia as a supporter of rogue state that commits international crimes, including crimes against humanity during its invasion of Lebanon, 2006, and invasion of Gaza, 2008 - 2009.

The Israeli move also compromised our sovereignty. They have acted as if they operate Australia in the way they wish.


The SJP urges Australian government to take serious actions to curb the Israeli appetite for blood and destruction. This should include suspending all diplomatic, economic and military ties with this rogue state which is currently led by war criminals, as affirmed by Goldstone’s report and other human rights organisations’ reports.

The Australian government should also revisit all tax-payers money collected by Zionist organizations in Australia annually and sent to Israel to fund illegal activities. Australian people deserve to know where their tax money is sent and what it used for.

The latest development strengthened our vision in SJP to consider Israel as rogue state built on racist Zionist ideology.

In addition to our demand that our government takes serious steps to regain confidence in our passport system and our international relation as a peace loving nation, we are considering taking steps to expose the Israeli crimes that damaged our nation’s reputation and image. We will consult other human rights organizations and pro-Palestinian organizations of the best way to respond to this international crime. These steps could include protesting outside Israeli embassy, writing protest letters to Israeli and Australian governments demanding clearing Australia’s name of any violation to international law and organizing forums and gathering on the issue.

We will make sure that the Israeli crimes and the Australian government repeated support of Israel to become an important election issue for the next federal election.
