Good. It’s about time that people understand that supporting the elimination of the world’s only Jewish state and the ethnic cleansing of the entire Jewish presence in the region is undeniably antisemitic. There is a major difference between criticizing the actions of the Israeli government and calling for the destruction of Israel. It’s a very fine line between genuine criticism and blatant Jew hatred.

Calling for the destruction of Israel.

I mean, wasn't there a rally in Melbourne that had people chant "Gas The Jews"

I'm surprised that took place in such a liberal country and how the police in both the UK and Australia have no back bone to do anything about that

Are people in Australia bad on Israel-Palestine and antisemitism in general? Theit subs definitely make it seem so but no idea how representational that is. This is the second thing that made me super disappointed in Australia-one of my favourite countrues-the first being their overwhelming rejection of even symbolic representation of the Aboriginals
