Dave Sharma: Lolly for the Lobby

What a surprise:

"Minister Paul Fletcher and Liberal candidate for Wentworth Dave Sharma have announced funds of over $210,000 to The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies... Fletcher said 'This funding will benefit a diverse range of members of the Wentworth community including boosting critical support services and providing opportunities for enriching social interaction and activity.' The NSW JBOD is part of a total amount of $450,000 to benefit Wentworth.

*$112,500... for its We Are All Sydney: Community Leadership Program
*$99,225... for its Respect, Understanding, Acceptance Program

"The NSWJBD President Lesli Berger said: 'The funds will enable us to take both of these programs to new heights. Given the ever-increasing importance of engaging with other communities and faith groups, we commend and thank the federal government and Dave Sharma for recognising this vital need and making funds available for these programs'." (Funding boost for The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, jwire.com.au, 15/5/19)

Now if you want to go beyond the spin and see just what kind of sweetness and light the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies has been dispensing in NSW over the years, here are just 3 of my posts on the subject:

I cannot get over the similarity of the behaviour of Zionists/Israel with the mafia.

As the ultra Gentile Zionist Churchill once said, "The Arabs are no match for them. The Irgun people are the vilest gangsters." (Churchill & The Jews, Martin Gilbert, 2007, p 270)

Interesting too: "In the United States, Rudolf Sonneborn, a wealthy Jewish industrialist, formed a secret organization named the Sonneborn Institute, to set up dummy companies to buy surplus arms, including from the Mafia, to send to the Haganah. Ben-Gurion set up a special command in Paris to coordinate the effort and instructed it to form an alliance with the Stern Gang and the Irgun to unify with the command of the Haganah." (From Chapter 24 of David S. Cohen's book Listening to the Better Angels of Our Nature: Ethnicity, Self-Determination & the American Empire, 2012-2019)

Likewise, Teddy Kollek's - later 6 times mayor of Jerusalem - Mafia connections, including Frank Sinatra, in Norman Rose's 'A Senseless Squalid War': Voices from Palestine 1890s-1948, 2010, pp 199-201)
