"... the Jewish Council of Australia calls on the Government to immediately cut all military ties and place sanctions on Israel.

The Albanese Government must also place travel bans on extremist settlers and those suspected of war crimes. These actions would be in line with Australia’s obligations as a signatory to the Genocide Convention."

"Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia

With each passing day, it becomes clearer that Israel is a rogue state. We say this as part of a large and growing number of Jews – in Australia and around the world – who have been calling for a ceasefire for many months, and saying that Israel’s actions are completely incompatible with our Jewish values."

In Australia, we don't really know what our Jewish community thinks @MyView
All recent polling has been conducted by highly biased bodies and on small, decidedly skewed samples. There has been only one study conducted since October 7. Results were due in December, but none have been published.

Joe Biden's claim that Hamas’s October 7 attacks were “driven by ancient desire to wipe out the Jewish people" is ahistorical and dangerous. In fact, Jewish history shows that antisemitism is a Western problem.

“More than 300 employees of federal, state and local governments sign letter warning against Australia’s ‘complicity’ in war crimes”

“Our major concern is that as public servants we have a responsibility to the Australian people to reflect and serve their interests, and an overwhelming majority of them do not want this to be happening.”

For me, Hind is the face of the Zionists' genocide @TanyaGKasim
Her fate and that of far too many children of Gaza is why we must keep striving for the dismantling of the Zionist state.

If the world does not learn that there are consequences to such behaviour, then you're quite right. We are likely to share the fate of Palestinians.

'Jews are not better protected by a war effort, endorsed by the United States and waged in the name of Jewish safety, that furthers a genocide of a whole people collectively framed as “our enemy”. In fact, making Jews the face of an unrelenting, genocidal campaign only puts us at risk even more.' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/may/28/biden-israel-gaza-policy

@MaxG
The Jews of the world will be safer when Israel no longer exists. There is no viable two-state solution.

As Miko Peled says, Israel and Palestine are the same place. Let those who can, live together in peace.

But how do we get to that point and what of those who will not live peacefully with "the other"? Three states maybe. Palestine for the peaceful and two separate states for the recalcitrant. Two other states where?

And what of the great many who are guilty of crimes? A couple of very large prisons?

Any racist act is unacceptable. School children should not be attacked for the actions of Israel.

The behaviour of the Zionist state endangers Jews around the world. It isn't fair, but it is reality. Jews will be safer when Israel is dismantled.

"Our society does not have an antisemitism crisis. It doesn’t have a crisis of far left radicalism, Islamist extremism, support for terrorism, or fomenting of dissent by foreign powers."

"... as Howard Zinn said, “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.”"

"The problem is that the freaks who rule over us are not sufficiently afraid of us. The problem is that we have not yet come to the collective realization that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that we don’t actually need to put up with them doing crazy and evil things right in front of our faces."

"That is the real crisis of our society. Not an imaginary antisemitism epidemic. Not college kids disobeying authority figures. Not leftists. Not anarchists. Not Islam. Not Hamas."

If Israel used white phosphorus on civilians, then it is a war crime. If the US supplied the munitions, then they're implicated.

"The self-reverencing fury of US and Israeli politicians, and some in Europe, is revealing – and dismaying. Hamas’s massacre of about 1,200 people last October was appalling, criminal and unforgivable – and must and will be punished. It does not justify Israel’s disproportionate, illegal and indiscriminately lethal response in Gaza. But they just don’t get it."
They don't WANT to "get it". Israel was a product of British Imperialism. Like much of the Western world, Israel is now an arm of the US empire. The doublethink is the empire protecting its own.

"Here in Australia, as in a number of other countries, a misleading campaign has been led by unelected and unrepresentative organisations claiming to represent the Jewish community. Most of these organisations are uncritical defenders of successive Israeli governments with close connections to Israeli intelligence agencies.

The key claim of these unrepresentative organisations has been that the opposition and protests against the Israeli army’s war in Gaza is led by ‘antisemites’, and that many of the students and other participants in the protests are ‘antisemitic’."

"I was ... deeply surprised and deeply disturbed when I heard that Australian vice-chancellors were going to follow in the footsteps of heads of American universities in calling the police to dismantle student encampments at Australian universities.

The justification for this dismantling is the false cry about ‘antisemitism’."

"... formerly an anti-Semite was somebody who hated Jews because they were Jews and due to their Jewish nature and their race… Nowadays an anti-Semite is somebody who is hated by a certain type of Zionist. Like one of the important Nazi leaders, Göring, said, “I determine who is a Jew.” And so the Zionists determine who is an anti-Semite. And as I say, I’m proud to be one of those."

@DropBear @serge There is so much wrong with your post that it would take forever to properly unpack... Primarily you are tokenizing Jews via one of the most fringe sects out there. Secondly, you fundamentally do not understand what Zionism is.

It's opinion @rameshgupta based on observation. Your resort to hasbara confirms that your questions are disingenuous.

Thanks for that.
