Graffiti: What they see is what you get

Parody: The New South Wales Justice Minister says he is appalled at the racist graffiti, which has been sighted in Sydney recently.

But Australian leaders have not been leading by example recently. Racist campaigns against Palestinians, Afghans and Muslims, for instance. The message people are getting from Australian parliaments, amongst other things, are racist and that it's okay to be racist.

Father David Equal, a community leader has described the graffiti as the response to neglect by Australia's leaders, and the mainstream media, who have discriminated against people, recently.

"Instead of being impartial and objective and treating all people equally, Australia's leaders and mainstream media, are making statements and decisions that clearly discriminate against people, and are racist and outside the law in this country," he said.

"In short if politicians have no morals, ethics, values and principals then some people don't feel the need to be bound by them either, including the mainstream media."

Father David Equal said, if the media in this country reported the truth fairly and reasonably, when the world discussed issues that effect the whole community, instead of reporting bias, discriminatory and wrong (propaganda reported by the US), then people may not get so angry.

These people feel the need to defend what they see as wrong by making statements they would not otherwise want to make, because they live with fear.

We must lead by example and tell the truth about the world and uphold our standards, so people don't feel threatened. Some people with limited resources may respond because they feel they have been wronged or are fearful of what might happen to them, if they don't react."

"When emotional levels rise, thinking levels go down."

John Hatzistergos a government stooge, says the anti-Semitic graffiti in the inner-city has been professionally done with stencilled letters and placed in positions for maximum effect.

"I understand there have been other reports of this type of graffiti around the city. This sort of work is unwelcome," he said.

"I join the rest of the community in expressing my abhorrence at this racist activity and want to see those persons who are responsible apprehended and brought to justice." He says he does not believe the racist lettering is a random act and is urging anyone with information to contact police.

Father Equal: " I join the rest of the community in expressing my abhorrence at this countries racist activity and want to see those politicians who are responsible, for leading by the wrong example, voted out of parliament.

"When is the corporate media going to get some autonomy."

A Jewish community leader has described the graffiti as mindless and disturbed.

Steven Rothman, the President of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, says any kind of intolerance, towards Jews or any ethnic minority is potentially dangerous. "I think that there are a number of people who are fundamentally racist who use any disturbance overseas to make racist comments," he said.

"The comments that we've seen are fundamentally racist and they've got nothing to with the Middle East or Israel or any particular policy."

[Nothing to do with Zionism?]

By Words And Actions 22 September 03

THE PROPHET: Australia's intolerance is mindless and disturbing. Politicians who take unlawful actions, lie and make racist statements have the potential to make people fearful and to send people mad in this country, and that is what is dangerous.

Right wing fascist media who are dogmatic, and who make racist comments in relation to the real world, have the potential to make people fearful and send people mad in this country, and that is what is dangerous.

If people are learning to hate, it is because what they see, is what you get. No Justice! Minister? To live with fear is a life half lived.
