I suggest you consult a dictionary as to the correct meaning of the word 'genocide, one which springs so easily from the lips of those who are silent about the goal of Hamas, which as it says in Article Seven of the Hamas Covenant, is the extermination of the Jews, one which Hamas shares with those who perpetrated the Holocaust of the Jews by the Nazis.

Are you a rape denier or a rape apologist?

It does have control if it is is all run by them

If Australia took a more principled stand (unlikely as that would be) that would count for something in the U.S. and Europe. Politicians seek safety in numbers. The less allies they have in the world, the more they will think about changing their position.

Genocide is genocide. We must call it out and it's not about religion! FFS!

@@anRoisinDubh ham ass called their atrocious October 7 attacks "Al Aqsa Flood". They are an extreme Islamist organisation. How do you figure that it's "not about religion"? From the ham ass charter: "Israel will exist, and will continue to exist, until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it"

Nonsense.

@@jittmet7766 I was there and three Facebook pages against the mosque were active and back then the administrator was responsible for the content which they neglected. 'Don't worry once the mosque is built we'll burn it down with all the Muslims in it'. That was par for the course. Facebook had no control of content back then. What Jewish students are exposed to on campus was nothing compared to my experience. They shut down the whole city centre on one occasion!

@@jittmet7766 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKrHiGB_rLqWnqcsi=xS3Ccy8DfF5ic0UL One of those old chaps was standing near the front of my house! All orchestrated by Murdoch and associates and their control of Australian media. Where would you ever find a front page article of a major newspaper with 'Muslim rapists' on the front page. Only in Australia! The lucky country.

@@australiaprisonisland9156 that would have been a difficult time for Islamic citizens in Bendigo. You mentioned Islamophobia. Who invented that term, and when? On October 8, Sheik Ibrahim Dadoun addressed a group of Australian Muslims in Lakemba. He described the October 7 terror attacks as a "day of victory", "day of courage", "day of pride", "day of victory", and "the day we've been waiting for". Do you agree with him?

@@rywt4zc Who invented the term anti-semitism and when? Don't give me this October narrative either. I get my narrative from the Greyzone. Incidentally what country can murder thousands of women and children with impunity? Personally I don't want to be drawn into this argument. The current Israeli/US administration are nothing more than international criminals. No righteousness exists amongst them. They care little for the vulnerable.

Clearly for its 800 signatories it does and I’m sure many Jewish Australians are neither affiliated with this organisation nor the Council of Australian Jewry and they would split both ways.

@@chrisburnett4742 Yea, but Australia has 200,000 Jews. and a Petition called 'Not My Jewish Council' that was open for THREE DAYS got thousands of signatories from Jewish Australians rejecting these peoples madness

@@Jack-zs2yd Yeah, and in Australia federally we have a party called Katter’s Australian that gets 0.38% of the vote and many Australians don’t like their policies, but they still best represent the beliefs and aspirations of a group of voting Australians. They have every right to do that. What kind of organisation tries to ban those with alternative but valid views to its own?

@@chrisburnett4742 nobody attempted to ban JCA. we are expressing distress and frustration over their blatant attempts to 1) steal the name of a PRE-EXISTING JEWISH GROUP and 2) claim that they are an elected council representing jewish australians

@@Jack-zs2yd My understanding (from the discussion) is that they’re using the name of a group that USED to exist and whose views they respect. Jewish Australians like Jewish people around the world have a multiplicity of views. Given that just as many Jewish people live in the US as live in Israel and that only 45% of these believe that caring about Israel is essential to what being Jewish means and that a majority of US Jews have negative views about Netanyahu’s policies, we could probably say that there definitely needs to be alternative voices amongst Jewish people globally (including in Australia) regarding all sorts of issues. The Israeli funded Jewish lobby presents only one view.

Nothing you said makes sense. One of the main goals of these groups is to communicate with and form alliances with the broader public and as many other groups as possible. That is why those protesters encompass many groups, whereas pro-genocide protesters include racist zionists and right wing n@z1s who are literally paid by zionist groups.
