Melbourne’s Jewish Community is divided not everyone supports Israel
and they suffer the consequences for coming out saying “Not in our
name”. In Yiddish are real Menschen and behave in the manner Judaism
expects Menschliekeitn with Niceness, kindness, decency, and humaneness.
They are, however, currently experiencing ignorance and chaos of
growing anti-semitism but also being threatened shunned, and shamed by
their own communities as traitors. These are people to be admired for
the risks they take and deserve a place on a Palestinian wall of the
righteous
Irreconcilable differences of opinion between Jews are
widening, yet the broader Australian public could be forgiven for
thinking that all Jews agree. This is in part because most so-called
Jewish representative organizations in Australia refuse to represent
this diversity of opinion between Jews and have become explicit Israel
lobby groups.
The Israel lobby’s conflation of these types of incidents has
meant that claims of antisemitism are being exploited to stifle
legitimate criticism of Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip and West
Bank.
The history and concept of antisemitism risks becoming
confused and devalued amid a very real fight worldwide against genuine
anti-Jewish racism and an increase in fascist activity. It will lead to
real instances of antisemitism being dismissed.
