Following the horrific October 7th pogrom in which 1,400 Jews, including babies, women, children and the elderly, were brutally tortured, raped and murdered, and 240 were kidnapped by the Palestinians, the Western world responded with rising antisemitism. This included Australia, with calls for the murder of Jews. Disgracefully, Australian governments at all levels have joined in this festival of hatred. On the day of the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, considered to be the start of the Holocaust, one Melbourne city council hoisted the Palestinian flag and declared a boycott of Jewish businesses. As thousands of protesters march spreading Jew hatred, deliberately going to Jewish areas and preventing Jews from accessing Synagogues for prayer, the federal government falsely claims that Israel is occupied territory and that Israel is deliberately ignoring the rules of war and is bombing medical facilities, stoking the fires of antisemitism. The Israeli military while pursuing the terrorists form the government of Gaza has taken extraordinary measures to minimise civilian deaths, measures that no other government, including Australia, has ever shown their conflicts. Australia now resembles late 1930s Germany. In what is probably a first for Australia, these really government has issued a travel warning that its citizens are unsafe in Australia and should under no circumstances travel there. It is very sad that what was once a free and tolerant country which welcomed people from all over the world has become a Nazi state. [Photograph: Jewish business in Sydney attacked by antisemites]
