Until the Hamas attack on Israel, Aussie society supposedly rested on the principles of a fair go, being easy-going, and mateship. Then, on October the 9th, 2023, a large mob demonstrated at the Sydney Opera House, ostensibly to support the Hamas invasion of Israel. Their chants included “[Redacted] the Jews” and, according to witnesses, “Gas the Jews,” but not “[Redacted] the Israelis” or “Gas the Zionists.” New South Wales Police have disputed “Gas the Jews,” claiming it was “Where’s the Jews," but confirm “[Redacted] the Jews,” so it’s reasonable to conclude that the mob’s target included their Jewish fellow Australians. If so, mateship and a fair go are done, and Australia doesn’t have a unified society; we’ve gone tribal.

Nearly two years later, just last Friday, a Jewish school group of ten-year-olds was visiting the Melbourne Museum when they met up with a school group of sixteen and seventeen-year-olds who chanted at them that they were baby killers and dirty Jews.
We are already in deep trouble, and these teenagers are the future.
Australia’s national and state governments are aware of this ongoing tribalism and are attempting to deal with it by the usual methods of commissioning reports and condemning all forms of hate. They are studiedly neutral and never mention antisemitism without also condemning islamophobia. What they aren’t neutral about is the ongoing Gaza struggle, where they strongly support the side of the innocents in Gaza, the fact that these innocents include the hostages that Hamas took during their orgy of torture, murder and sexual perversion has long been forgotten. Which means that our governments consistently condemn only Israel’s actions, leading to increasing antisemitism from the “[Redacted] the Jews” tribes.
A major problem is that our criminal gangs seem to have been co-opted into being antisemitic. The burning of the Adass synagogue has been blamed on criminals who, immediately before setting the fire, had burnt a cigarette shop and been involved in a shooting.
This media release includes the words: “The nightclub fire and shooting are being investigated by Victoria Police and are not considered politically-motivated attacks.”
Six months ago, a caravan loaded with explosives and antisemitic material was discovered in New South Wales. Later, the Australian Federal Police released a statement that included this: "We are now confident that all these tip-offs were fabricated, and the caravan plot was an elaborate scheme contrived by organised criminals, domestically and from offshore. There were several people who had different levels of involvement in this fake terrorism plot.”
Why organized criminals would waste valuable explosives on a fake terrorism plot is not explained, but the following news items give some suggestions and indicate the number and regularity of the antisemitic attacks.
In Victoria, pro-Palestinian demonstrations are regularly scheduled events held in many regional towns such as Wonthaggi, Traralgon, Warrnambool, Geelong, Cowes and Ballarat, all organized with the help of Friends of the Earth. The largest is the weekly march from the State Library in Melbourne, which takes place with the active cooperation of the Victorian government and a large group of police. The police are obviously there to control the marchers and prevent breakaway groups from repeating the attack on the Israeli restaurant earlier in July. Having them lead the way could be taken as a seal of approval.

Here is a short video I took of the leaders of last week’s march. It seems the red-green alliance is going well...

Australia and Western Europe seem intent on importing a large number of undesirables.

I clicked “like” but this is depressing.

It is extremely depressing. My first instinct is to think: Australia's Jews can come here, where they will be protected. (By me---I have a messiah complex, bigtime) Then I thought about the Red-Green alliance that threatens American Jews. Teetering on the point of despair.
But then---ahhhh--- Second Amendment!
Thanks, Founding Fathers!

Here in Ireland, the Government and traditional media insist that there is no antisemitism in the country. They back this up by failing to condemn or report on increasing instances of the disease- even ones that are reported widely outside the country.
