There is no place for violence against #Jewish people - in #Australia or #Israel, or anywhere.
When developing solutions to combat the surge in antisemitic behavior it is critical to consider when this surge began, and what was behind that surge.
The single most powerful, albeit not the only, action to combat these challenges in Australia is in the hands of Jewish leaders and the broader Jewish community.
Recognise the ongoing atrocities in #Gaza and the #WestBank for what they are - the systematic starving, maiming, killing and destruction of the hope of innocent #Palestinian children, women and men. Then to loudly, and with conviction, denounce what the #IsraeliState is doing, while at the same time denouncing #Hamas for what they have done and are doing.
And, we should ALL denounce #Israel’s recently announced plans to illegally and inhumanly build encampments aimed at separating Palestinians from their land and what is left if their communities.
