Dear Mox,

Indeed.

I am also a supporter of Jewish Voice for Peace http://jewishvoiceforpeace.org/ who are doing solid work.

Dear Mox,

«Sometimes decent Jews would be in the best positions to help bring badly behaved ones into line.»

Care to suggest how?

Replace "Jews" with "Australians": can the ordinary decent Australians be held responsible for the misbehaviour of other Australians?

Y,

Mox is simply another antisemite who holds the entire Jewish race responsible for the actions of a few whilst ignoring the homicidal forces against them.

The Palestinian "homicidal forces" wouldn't have come into existence if it wasn't for the Balfour Agreement which in its turn wouldn't have come into existence but for the acts of the homicidal Jews. The situation continues because of the current acts of the Jewish settlers taking over Arab land.

A couple of recent examples of groups of people doing the wrong thing breaching anti covid restrictions in Melbourne. There was a large engagement party or whatever of which organisers and many participants were Jewish. As well as police action, one notable reaction was condemnation of this inappropriate gathering by other Jewish groups. Seemed result was that overall they were just widely regarded as a mob of idiots who happened to be Jews. However, if had been widespread support of their misbehaviour by other Jews, the reaction to this most likely would have been claimed by the likes of shadowminister to be "antisemitism". Then note protest demonstration by some building industry unionists in Melbourne against temporary tough restrictions brought in after infections due to a few not following earlier ones, which spread infections in the process. . This should not reflect against building industry unionists overall because the CFMEU condemned their action and prompted statement by union secretary something like. Ours is a dangerous industry and we don't want the likes of them in it".

Just because B'Tselem is Israeli with Jewish and Palestinian members does not give it credibility any more than Jewish George Soros Open Society or Neturei Karta Orthodox Jews who are Anti Zionist.

The truth is Anti Semitism, like a virus, adjusts to its environment with each generation that breathes the oxygen of its social discourse at that time. Although historically, reactionary Anti-Semitic Jewish participants are well documented, it is still under analysis by psychologists.

Well worth a read the link below in understanding who and what is B'tselem.

Finally, Israel is a vibrant democracy that gives space to an organisation that works to its destruction. Name one such organisation in the Middle East or, for that matter, anywhere else in the western and eastern world seeking its nations destruction and is quoted as a legitimate entity and allowed to operate.
