The third possibility
At last, someone has mentioned the unmentionable – the third possibility. I have been astonished and irritated that, till now, nobody else has dared to mention it, but now, finally, Paul Heywood-Smith has put his head above the parapet.
It has been seven weeks since the Adass synagogue fire, and at least according to the public record, the AFP and VicPol have made no arrests and appear to have few clues as to who was responsible. Or if they do, they’re not willing or able to say. If the perpetrators had been either bumbling amateur neo-Nazis, or bumbling amateur pro-Palestinians, ie. possibilities one and two, then you might expect that the police would be onto them pretty quickly. On the other hand, if the perpetrators were highly trained professionals, then they would have the means to melt away undetected, and chances of apprehending them would be small. This is where the “overseas actors” might come into the picture.
Who benefits most from deliberately fomenting the rancid anti-semitism pot in Australia?
Paul’s last sentence contains one crucial, and probably carefully considered word – “Let us hope that the police, unhindered, will get to the bottom of the matter”.
