Stick this in your hopper for when people say supporting is supporting . It isn't.

Clearly, the Palestinians have a Hamas problem too.

Gaza has a Hamas problem @knowprose and Israel has a Likud problem.
They're problems that the respective populations have Democratically chosen. They're both problems that have the overwhelming support of those populations.
🤔
Which raises a question:
media and government commentators commonly refer to "the Hamas-run health ministry";
why don't we hear "the Likud-run military", for example?

Hamas is a problem @knowprose and Israel isn't? Got it!

I've seen this sentiment expressed in many ways. There are indeed remarkable parallels, but the Zionism that spawned Israel was around long before Nazism. It might be more accurate to say that Nazism is an offspring of Israeli Zionism.

“the motion is significant in two ways. One, because it was passed with overwhelming support, an upward of 98% of those in attendance supported it. The other significance is that this is the first BDS motion, which explicitly calls for sanctions, divestment, and boycotting of Israeli apartheid of any university in the entire country.”

"... as Chris Hedges often says, ‘Israel lies.’ And in the present climate the lies are not only bellicose and incendiary, but galling to a Jew like me who grew up in a time of intense antisemitism."
...
"The Executive Council of Australian Jewry has figures for an exponential rise in antisemitic incidents over the past months. I’m not examining the figures – numbers aren’t exactly my forte. But it’s curious that so little attempt is made by them, or pro-Zionist organisations like them, to correlate this rise with Israel’s ongoing oppression of the Palestinian people and its culmination in one of history’s most horrific human tragedies.

One thing is certain, none of us can expect to be ‘safe’ now.

Because of Israel."

Racist undercurrents in Australian society should not be downplayed @faab64
To some degree, we're all subject to it. Yes, even white Anglo-Protestants.

Specific to Islamophobia though, there's one influence that recent events have highlit.

If you're Australian, then please sign.

A petition to the Parliament of Australia:
"The ongoing violence and oppression against Palestinians by the Israeli government violate fundamental human rights principles. The disproportionate use of force, illegal settlements, and blockade of Gaza have resulted in immense suffering and loss of life. Our nation should not support regimes engaged in such violations. Action Requested: We urge the Prime Minister to take a principled stand against the Israeli government's actions by severing diplomatic ties, ending military support, and condemning human rights abuses in Palestine."

Biden threatens to stop sending "certain weapons" to Israel.

But for the upcoming election, would he instead be unstintingly supporting the Zionist State's genocide?

The One-State Solution
By Edward Said
Jan. 10, 1999

This is an article by the late #EdwardSaid. He was a #Palestinian - American philosopher, academic, literary critic, and political activist. and a professor of literature at #Columbia University.

It spells out his position that only a binational state based on equality will work in #Palestine - #Israel.

#SolidarityWithPalestine #NotAntisemitism

"Our universities"? At the 2021 census, approximately 0.4% of Australia's population identified as Jewish.

I hope that the police will maintain order and protect free speech.

Is it time to declare the Australian "Jewish" Association a terrorist organisation?
