“Nazi’s not as bad as IS” says Abbott
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has argued that Islamic State is worse than the Nazis in World War Two.
‘The Nazis did terrible evil but they had sufficient sense of shame to try and hide it. These people boast about their evil. This is the extraordinary thing,’ Mr Abbott said on 2GB.
‘They act in the way medieval barbarians acted only they broadcast it to the world with an affrontery that is hard to credit and it just adds a further dimension to this evil.’
It comes after former commander of US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan general David Petraeus raised the prospect of Australia joining the air strikes against I.S. Targets in Syria.
At the 2015 Lowy Institute lecture on Wednesday, Mr Petraeus said bombing the militant group in Syria would add to the coalition’s efforts against the terror organisation.
Mr Abbott said the decision would be made next week, but emphasised everything possible needed to be done to defeat I.S.
The prime minister made similar comments last year on 2GB.
‘The atrocities that were committed by the Nazis, by the communists and others, they were ashamed of them, they tried to cover them up. This mob, by contrast, as soon as they’ve done something gruesome and ghastly and unspeakable, they’re advertising it on the internet for all to see which makes them, in my mind, nothing but a death cult,’ he said.
More than six million Jews were killed by Hitler’s Nazi regime and its collaborators from 1941 to 1945 in what is known as the Holocaust.
The Jewish community slammed Mr Abbott’s comments, labelling them “injudicious and unfortunate”.
“Whilst there is no question that Islamic State is a profoundly evil organisation, the Prime Minister’s comments suggesting that it is in some respects worse than the Nazis were injudicious and unfortunate,” Robert Goot, President of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, told News Corp Australia.
“The crimes of Islamic State are indeed horrific but cannot be compared to the systematic round-up of millions of people and their despatch to purpose built death camps for mass murder.
“There is a fundamental difference between organised acts of terrorism and a genocide systematically implemented by a state as essential policy.”
Later in the day the Prime Minister said he was not in the “business of ranking evil” and stood by his comments.

Was just going to comment on this … and up pops the post!
We must be cyclic, sreb!
Is there anybody left for Abbott or His Acolytes to anger … ?
These people boast about their evil.
Is he talking about border farce here?
I didn’t realise there was a competition for atrocities nor any need for ranking of crimes against humanity, nor that they be raced to some finishing line.
They are, what they are – barbaric.
If later the PM stated he wasn’t in the business of ranking, he obviously had been and at minimal was in the business of comparison.
And someone needs to make the point to the PM that the Nazi’s didn’t hide it; the Nazi’s were systematic, unrelenting and maintained detailed records of their crimes (including filming) – none of which indicates shame. Nor does the fact, many Nazi’s convicted of their crimes against humanity pleaded “not guilty” and it was their own recordings that evidenced them guilty.
Gotta distract from this. Quick weekly security alerts!
Economic management is now Tony Abbott’s weakest claim to re-election

What an absolute fuckwit!
Hyperbolic crap.
“…Look, all I’m saying is that sometimes the Nazis get a bad wrap…”
No wonder the libs have been so receptive to Nazis in their party. All that right wing extremism had to start somewhere!
That mp who spoke at a neo Nazi type rally recently was quite ok by the libs.
Fascists.
I don’t think Wally agrees KL … I’m not sure what about but I don’t think he does either …
“No wonder the libs have been so receptive to Nazis in their party. All that right wing extremism had to start somewhere!

Isn’t that the same sort of “hyperbolic crap” being complained about. Have you absolutely no self-awareness at all?
Labelling government critical journalists as ‘Jihadists’ (a misnomer delightfully taken up by Bolt now)…more hyperbolic crap; of the highest order.
A couple of recent Bolt headlines, circa 3/09/15…
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/fairfax_jihadists_censor_an_inconvenient_truth_about_bill_shorten/
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/tony_abbott_set_to_defy_fairfax_jihadists_in_canning/
And, speaking of hyperbolic hypocrisy, here is Bolt’s entirely expected rearguard defence of Abbott’s ill conceived conflation of Nazi Germany with IS.
http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/i_apologise_for_newscomau_we_should_be_better_than_fairfax/
Any regular Bolt observer would be well aware of his penchant for squealing about Godwin’s committed by everyone (other than AbbottCorp) else.
The man is a joke. Much like the Prime Minister he constantly finds himself running an embarrassing interference campaign for.
Kneel would have already assimilated those Bolt articles. We can expect him to start regurgitating the illogic sometime soon.
“the Nazi’s didn’t hide it”
Really?
ergo…IS conflated with Nazi Germany.
Yeah right.
Over state the threat.
Attempt to harvest the political mileage.
“And someone needs to make the point to the PM that the Nazi’s didn’t hide it; ”
What a load of BS …………I agree with Splatter’s comments above
“………the Nazi’s were systematic, unrelenting and maintained detailed records of their crimes (including filming)……”
That’s because they had to constantly report back to their Reichmasters dumbo and they didn’t expect to lose the God damn fucking War…………………Something about Superior Aryan Race
I think IS is more like the Japanese Imperioal Army in its indiscriminate killing and beheadings and suicide (Kamikazees anyone ?).
Although they tended to lop off heads rather swiftly
Thanks for reminding me about Bolt, he is right, as usual. This is a beat up.
The commenters aren’t bad either:
In fact Bolt is always worth a read. He posts stuff you will not hear from the lockstep lefty media. His real crime is that the smug mongrels of the left hate to be contradicted and hate to have their stupidity and hypocrisy exposed. The wonder is not that he goes OTT sometimes but that he is so on target most of the time.
Yes, you are so right.
Conflating IS with Nazi Germany is entirely credible. Bravo Abbott for your well judged words. Bravo Bolt for maintaining a blind defence of Abbott in the face of ongoing self immolation.
* OTT sometimes ?
Haha.
Yes, and taking up the cudgels to call dissenting journalists ‘Jihadists’ doesn’t cheapen the term or undermine the gravity of the fear Abbott’s trying to elicit regarding IS at all.
Just wise Bolt, telling it like it is, making excellent points, not preaching to the slavering converted by any means.
He posts stuff you will
nothear from the lockstepleftyLiberal Party Apologia media.What would, Robert Goot, President of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, know?!
He should be congratulating Abbott for his
cynically politically expedientperfectlyludicrousreasonableconflation of Industrial State Genocidestatement.I agree with Splatter’s comments above
Mmmmm …
… I think IS is more like the Japanese Imperioal Army in its indiscriminate killing and beheadings and suicide (Kamikazees anyone ?).
The Japanese just wanted to create fear and control the population … much the same as the Nazis in Europe … when the troops are thin on the ground its difficult to stop resistance an uprising nicely … fear works really well, even in 2015 apparently …
And, strangely enough … it was sb who provided a link a few weeks ago that described how ISIL was deliberately attempting to force the West into a “final showdown” … the end of days … you’d know about that from your theological studies … ISIL has a purpose …
I’m sure sb will explain it all to you … if you ask him nicely … 🙂
The upshot of all this is that once again Abbott’s stuck his foot in his mouth …
Japanese and Nazis in Europe or ISIL in the Middle East … all fkn nasty pricks … none are better nor worse than the other …
… I think IS is more like the Japanese Imperioal Army in its indiscriminate killing and beheadings and suicide (Kamikazees anyone ?).
From Wally’s comment above …

Except you did exactly that abbott.
It seems to be a conservative trait, the denial of the undeniable. Guess conservative supporters like neil will swallow that without chewing though.
Others might question it, but they have obviously interpreted his words wrongly, mischievously, he’d never say what he just said.
ISIS seem brutal, unpromising, murderous, expansionist.
They’re zealots, it’s an unhealthy philosophy.
l enjoy the fact that the house-plants all over-look the greatest common thread between the nazi`s and the death-cult is,

But, …”I’m not in the business of ranking evil.”… 😉

Of course, when yabot said that, he did miss out one group. It seems to be a recurring problem for him

Wally, you need help … and not from your local priest!
Really sick … and twisted mind!
You just find the Truth too difficult to deal with and as usual make up as many of your failed Leftie excuses as possible.
These people celebrate their barbarity and the pathetic Left (yeah I’m looking at you) stays mute.
You really are unhinged, Wally … its nothing to do with left or right … those are people … your comment above the photo is disgusting …
Just what is a failed leftie excuse? … because I don’t want to see Australian ADF members end up like those in your photo …
The ISIL scourge is a religious civil war … it is not Australia’s war …
I sat “mute” … you mean I disagree with your gung-ho, I love the smell of napalm in morning, go and get the bastards and I’ll watch from here attitude …
Get a life … if you want to go – go … you are no better than those going to join ISIL …
We should be helping the refugees … let the Muslims fight their own wars … it is not a Crusade!
ISIS is committed to brutal, cruel, visible genocide and seek to share this with the world. Whether this requires differentiation from other examples of genocide is a moot point.
“You really are unhinged, Wally … its nothing to do with left or right … those are people … your comment above the photo is disgusting … ”
Pull ya fucking head in you idiot.
Its described as an ISIS BBQ on the Kurdish twitter feed.
As I said you weak willed Lefties just refuse to accept the grim reality.
On one hand you say “open the borders” then you start fucking screaming over a few 457 visas. One day you’ll get your migration/population/workforce argument consistent.
Idiots and hypocrites !
Just more Wally Waffle …
“………….go and get the bastards and I’ll watch from here attitude … ”
And listen hear you dickhead. Next week I’m off to “help out” for 3 weeks whilst you sit on your fat fucking arse whingeing.
So don’t you dare claim that I have a “I’ll watch from here” attitude you dickhead.
You can look forward to 3 weeks of “Walrus Free Zone”
“Just more Wally Waffle …”
Dickhead !
As I said you weak willed Lefties just refuse to accept the grim reality.
What, that ISIS are a direct result of the war mongering coalition of the willing?
They were warned back then. They were too busy pushing their ideological agenda, which can be drilled down simply to “OIL”
Is it just me or does Walrus seem extraordinarily unhinged today…
What could it be I wonder…
Oh that’s right.
“What could it be I wonder…”
On the contraire I’m quite happy about that.
It means I can selectively add to my long positions a little bit at a time to enable me to obtain the status of Wealth Crazed Prick extraordinaire.
Everyone should aspire to such a lofty perch and always climb to seek a higher and higher position to look down upon you Lowly Lefties Herds………..

“There’s no other way to say it: Australia’s economy is in trouble….”
Yeah……..so lets stand in the way of the China FTA.
Dickhead Emerson was on Skynews last night with Bob Carr. Bob Carr totally disagreed with Emerson’s Union formed point of view.
Carr does not see a problem with the FTA and noted that the clauses objected to were the same as other FTA’s.
The FTA is not a problem. Which is why so many ALP figures outside the Federal ALP are for the China FTA.
From TR’s link …
Carr does not see a problem with the FTA and noted that the clauses objected to were the same as other FTA’s.
And can be waived by DFAT or the Immigration Dept or is it Border Farce now or the RAN …

Which means its a Compliance matter and has nothing to do with the FTA itself.

Fact check: Does the China Free Trade Agreement threaten Australian jobs?

Paul Krugman: Australia can weather the Chinese economic downturn
In an interview with Guardian Australia, the Nobel prize-winning economist expresses scepticism about the China free trade agreement and a GST increase
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/sep/04/paul-krugman-australia-can-weather-the-chinese-economic-downturn
…“Australia, like Canada, is a country that has the wrong exports and is kind of in the wrong place in the world right now, but has a lot of other strengths.”
Krugman supports free trade, but was sceptical of the benefits of bilateral agreements such as the one between China and Australia.
They were often misleadingly pitched as something that must be done “for the national good”, he said. “It isn’t really – it’s not going to have any major impact on GDP per capita.”
He suggested the Australia-China deal could well be, like the Trans Pacific Partnership, mostly about entrenching the power of monopolies. “Free trade –which on the whole I’m a supporter of – is being used to cover fields that really are not about that at all.”
Krugman also opposed the TPP currently being negotiated, of which Australia’s trade minister, Andrew Robb, is an ardent advocate. It was “not really a trade agreement”, Krugman said, as trade in the Pacific area was “already pretty free in most things”.
Rather, he argued the TPP was mostly about “intellectual property rights and dispute settlements procedures”, for which there were “very clear negative argument that it hurts consumers”…

A British woman who can`t recall any of the conversations she has had over the past decade will head up the UK arm of one of the world`s largest media organisations.
A spokesperson for the company said Ms Brookes, 47, was the obvious choice for the position. `Apart from the fact that she has absolutely no recollection of what happened at the previous companies she ran, she is the perfect choice for this role,` the spokesperson said.
`She has a knack for a good story, she`s great with people. Sure she couldn`t remember whether the Prime Minister of Great Britain attended her 40th birthday party. But then, who does remember these sorts of finer details?`
The spokesperson said Ms Brookes would run a tight ship as CEO of UK operations. `Although naturally we don`t expect her to have any idea about what`s actually going on at the company`.

The group seized Mosul, Iraq, last June(#2009), and already rules an area larger than the United Kingdom. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been its leader since May 2010, but until last summer, his most recent known appearance on film was a grainy mug shot from a stay in U.S. captivity at Camp Bucca during the occupation of Iraq.
#camp-bucca, (sounds like `booker`) was a gitmo-like torture/black site in iraq, run by teh-usa
#Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been its leader (of al-Qaeda of-iraq), it didn`t exist under saddam, but was created when WE(our-allies) cleared the way for al-qaeda

#that`s rather impoverished of you teebz, to claim l`m `eager-to-send`, l`m quite certain l`ve told you before, l was following george-galloway and the uk-peace movement, the reports of food and medical shortages in iraq and how the citizens were suffering excessively and saddam`s regime was fully `bottled`-up, so `eager-to-send`, nope, l wouldn`t have sent anybody to iraq, iraq would still be an `intact` and bottled-up country if folks like me, galloway, and uk-peace had been listened to
So, we’re willing to help those able to flee, but not interested in helping those that are unable to flee.
They can just stay put and await burning to death, stoning, drowning, being throw off a building..”convert or die”

That’s nice.

I missed that bit. Can you link to it?
Where’d I say anything like that?

The comment was directed to TB-
“We should be helping the refugees … let the Muslims fight their own wars …”
That is just bulls**t
let the Muslims fight their own wars
Not that I’d support letting any two sides just belt the shit out of each other anyway, but, since “we” have stuck our nose in so far and destabilized so much an already destabilized situation, we should be helping out everywhere.
With humanitarian aid imo, not dropping bombs that will have no outcome but further alienation and misery.

#hard.option.2 fully commit all boots to the ground to win, no matter the cost in money, soldiers and time, a full-throated commitment to victory.
#soft.option.3 only drop bombs, often killing your unknown allies(kurds) to minimize money and soldier costs, and maximize `collateral`, after all, air-superiority always wins, interfere with half-hearted ignorance-based decisions to appease your party/voters and continually fail to advocate for a `hard`option due to the bone-free, corrupt liars your party is filled with.
