Victorians feel sick as Allan toasts Israel and announces hospital partnership

The Victorian Premier’s deal with Israel is a symptom of a sick, compromised political class.

It’s already halfway through 2026, and if you look at what is happening on the planet you can be forgiven for showing dismay at recent footage of Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan celebrating the independence of the state of Israel and announcing a long-term health partnership. “Let us toast the people of Israel,” said the Victorian Premier. The partnership is aimed at strengthening collaboration between Victoria’s medical research institutions and Israel’s hospitals and innovation ecosystem, but it also seemed aimed at improving public perception of Israel—not as a destroyer of innocent lives in the Middle East as is currently perceived, but as a world-leading cutting-edge healthcare provider.

“I want Victoria to share once again in these breakthroughs, not just admire them from afar.”

Israel is accused of the crime of genocide by the United Nations, its leaders are wanted by the International Criminal Court, its army has broken through the civilian population of Gaza where it still kills a child a day post-ceasefire. The world has admired them as a nation of blood-crazed supremacists, who overwhelmingly as a population want to see the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, and come to see the country as a nation of brutal and unreasonable killers that need to be stopped by the international community. A large majority of Victorians and Australians are appalled by Israel’s near three-year genocide and unrelenting propaganda assault via social media, the legacy press, and a compromised bipartisan political class—Allan’s hospital partnership with them is disgraceful.

Premier Allan sees it differently: “...it is through partnerships like this, partnerships of discovery, partnerships of progress that will help Australians reconnect with what Israel has given the world and it sends an important message that Victoria and Israel’s relationship is built on shared values, real human connections, and practical knowledge that makes a positive difference in our lives.” Shared values?

Do we share values with the country whose healthcare system contributed to the illegal harvesting of thousands of organs, including Palestinians killed by Israeli forces? Who only made international organ trafficking illegal under 20 years ago? Do our doctors share values with the medically sterilised Ethiopian Jews who were injected with broad-spectrum birth control disguised as vaccines? How about the flayed bodies of Palestinians whose skin is frozen in Israel’s skin banks (the largest in the world)?

The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne has a world-leading premature infant capability. Israel left babies to die and decompose in their incubators in a children’s ward of a hospital in Gaza. Doctors in the now destroyed hospitals of Gaza would see children brought before the operating table with sniper wounds in their skulls and abdomens; some days the doctors picked up patterns that the snipers were targeting specific parts of children’s bodies; but we are to share in the health of Victorians with these people?

Israel destroyed the last hospital in Northern Gaza in 2025. Israeli soldiers dressed as Arab healthcare staff to assassinate a Palestinian man in hospital. Palestinian doctors are raped to death in prison or tortured to inches of their life. Allan’s statement is callous and devastating. This isn’t a failure to read the room—it is an ideological endorsement in the ruins of a genocide, and the most rancid offering to share the act of healing with those who take life so indiscriminately.

“Shared (fucking) values”?!

Allan holds up a glass of wine at a fancy Zionist event, keyed into the same interests as her predecessor Dan Andrews, and they both represent the personality types that now hold public office in Australia. Morally bankrupt, politically obsessed, and utterly sociopathic as a consequence—the modern political operator is a largely detached and frenetic individual with more in common with the business world than representing electorates. This bipartisan cohort, in Victoria’s case, is overtly compromised by long-term private relationships and public-to-private pipelines: the Victorian Racing Committee, Crown Casino, Transurban, and the Melbourne-based Jewish billionaires who hold incredible power over the political class.

The corporate sociopaths who wear human masks in public office have shed the cloak of morality that they claim to possess, and only see the need for preservation through power. The powerful and wealthy Zionist interest groups in Victoria and around the nation act as beacons to this status quo, and the callous political judgement that allows the modern politician to sell out the population on housing, health, education and welfare for adjacent private interest groups, is the same judgement that sees Allan have the gall to announce a hospital partnership with the preeminent destroyer of hospitals on the planet.

It’s a disturbing disconnect, an indictment on the mental health of cold modern corporate leaders, and a terrifying wake-up call as to what kind of people they are, and what calculus they are prepared to make for powerful interests.

Allan’s speech echoed a frustration from this powerful Zionist community, who have seen public opinion swing harshly against their supremacist ideology, that has seen hundreds of thousands killed in Gaza and Lebanon, and an unreasonable war against Iran that currently puts the global economy on the verge of collapse. But her speech also cut against the grain of public opinion.

In Australia, far away from these flashpoints, our national essence has been extruded through a Zionist framework. ASIO Chief Mike Burgess has warned that the biggest threat to Australia are Iranian assassins, saying he ‘believes’ the mastermind of an arson attack on the Adass Synagogue in Melbourne is being employed by Tehran to sow terror. But Burgess has allowed Israeli President Isaac Herzog to take private meetings at our intelligence headquarters; his department has not been able to provide any valuable narrative on the Bondi shootings, and the remit of our intelligence services seems to be gravitated around providing hand-made Israeli narratives that seem to fly against the national interest. With intelligence, defence, diplomacy, media and public policy being influenced and controlled by Zionist interest, and the public so highly attuned to this pervasive control, Allan’s hospital announcement comes across as morbid and mortifying—it doesn’t conjure feelings of acceptance and admiration for Israel.

Hours after Allan’s speech, The Lancet called for the suspension of the Israeli Medical Association, making a statement: “Genocide in Gaza is a defining ethical test for the global public health community. Silence is not an option.” But in Australia, silence is the status quo. Currently the medical regulator AHPRA has baked in new measures that equate criticism of Jewish doctors with antisemitism. In June 2026, AHPRA adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism as a reference tool for its regulatory work in a joint statement with Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism. Critics, including health practitioner groups and the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, have warned this creates a chilling effect, risks weaponising vexatious complaints against doctors who criticise Israel’s actions in Gaza, and may suppress legitimate political speech and advocacy by conflating criticism of Israeli government policy with antisemitism.

“To a Jewish homeland safe and secure and to her people resilient and free. Happy Independence Day to the state of Israel.”, said a Premier who has given up the pretence of pragmatic impartiality and sage leadership. Allan said words that would be echoed by most of the bereft current politicians in Australia.

Whether it’s James Patterson doing his maiden speech to Parliament on the need to support Israel, whether it be Pauline Hanson wearing an Israel scarf into the Federal Senate while her billionaire benefactor offers up chunks of Queensland to Israeli settlers, Penny Wong broadly grinning while shaking Herzog’s hand, the Teals showing up to Zionist events, or Allan talking up Israel with a form of indignation through the public opinion of her voters—even the Greens cherry-picking their condemnations around its own liberal Zionist interests—there aren’t many politicians in line with the Australian public opinion on Israel. And that is an issue.

Allan may hope that “Australians reconnect with what Israel” by merging Victorian hospitals with them, but she hopes in vain. But does she even care what most of us think? There aren’t many on the left or the right that think Israel deserves anything but utter condemnation. Not many Victorians want to connect with Israel ever again, and they are struggling to connect with politicians who over-insist they do. This hospital announcement, amongst the dozens of destroyed hospitals in occupied Palestine, is a diabolical decision by the Victorian Premier, and a window into the nature of her conscience.
