Finding the real “faceless men” behind Gillard in the MSM

by Dadon and Rudd

Before he began promoting Julia Gillard, Israel Lobbyist, Albert Dadon (see attached photo from The Age, 29/6/2010), was “one of Kevin Rudd’s most trusted kitchen cabinet advisers on Israel” (The Age 25/6/09). Pre-PM Rudd was cultivated by Dadon, who had organised two trips to Israel for him. Dadon also foundered the Australia-Israel Cultural Exchange (see insert photo of the AICE magazine, Rhapsody).

Through his marriage into the billionaire Besen family (e.g. Highpoint Property Group, Suzanne and Sportsgirl shopping chains), Dadon is related to Morry Schwartz who published Rudd’s ‘Faith in Politics’ essay in his magazine, The Monthly, in 2006, giving him a public profile from which to become PM. In Rudd’s essay, our ex-PM praised his Christian hero, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was an outspoken defender of “the marginalised, the vulnerable and the oppressed” during the Nazi’s rule. Sounds like good human rights stuff.

But as PM, Rudd showed indifference to the “marginalised, vulnerable and the oppressed” Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead. Rather than endorsing the UN Human Rights Council Report on the atrocities of Operation Cast Lead (The Goldstone Report) along with the vast majority of the UN General Assembly in November 2009, he voted against it, deferring to his pro-Israeli rich on whom he depends for friends and funds. To quote his own essay, Rudd seems to prefer “the hypocrisy of the religious and political elites of his time.”

When Mossad (Israeli spies) assassinated a Palestinian in Dubai last January, there of course was no outcry from Canberra. But then it was revealed that the assassins (see photo) stole the identities of four Australian citizens and forged four Australian passports,. It appears that Prime Minister Rudd stopped listening to his “trusted kitchen cabinet advisers on Israel”. Perhaps he recognized some responsibility to the Australian people who elected him, not the Israelis that promoted him in the first place. Kevin Rudd, who had been considered a friend of Israel, declared on radio (3AW) that- “any state that chooses to do this in relation to Australian passports, frankly, is treating the Australian people, the Australian government and the Australian nation with contempt” (Herald-Sun, 25/2/2010).

Subsequently, Australia expelled the Mossad chief in Canberra, much as senior Mossad agents were expelled in the UK and Ireland. Indeed, Israel also fired their Mossad (Israeli spy) chief, Meir Dagan (Jerusalem Post, 7/3/2010) because of this extrajudicial assassination.
