When 'Pro-White' Academics Are News, But AIPAC Academics Aren't
The Guardian spotlights Australian academics endorsing the White Australia policy, triggering a swift higher education investigation into Campion College. While outright racism is (rightly) condemned, the media conveniently overlooks arguably more insidious influences shaping national and foreign policy. One might wonder where the federal education minister and regulatory bodies are when lobbying
groups like AIPAC funnel millions to politicians, influencing votes on critical geopolitical issues. For instance, according to OpenSecrets, AIPAC spent over $3.7 million in lobbying in 2023, while its super PAC, United Democracy Project, poured millions more into elections. Yet, no 'compliance process' is launched when politicians who receive substantial donations subsequently vote for
legislation overwhelmingly beneficial to a foreign state's interests. We're told to be outraged by historical, overt racism, but not by present-day, money-powered allegiance shifts. How many more headlines about 'pro-white' academics do we need before acknowledging the well-funded influence peddlers openly dictating policy?
