Dear Easy Times,

I don't understand to what you're objecting.

Did you actually try to join a Jewish Club and were
turned away?

There's heaps of various Clubs in this country
whose membership tends to be limited to a specific
group. There's the various national group Clubs,
Greek, Chinese, Vietnamese, Maltese, Lebanese,
Danish, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, et cetera. Then
there's the Gay and Lesbian Clubs, Single-Parent
Clubs, Alcoholics Annonymous, Police Clubs, Retired
Service Men's Clubs, you name a specific group -
there's bound to be a Club - you can join. Each
Club has certain membership requirements and criteria
that have to be met. And a Jewish Club just may have
as one of its criteria the fact that you have to be
Jewish in order to join. That's not discrimination.
The same as you have to be an ex-serviceman to join
the RSL.

If it really bothers you about not being able to
join the Jewish Club - perhaps you need to think
about converting?

Are they banning Australia Jews?

I think you are getting religion mixed up with nationality. Why would a non-Jew want to join a Jewish organisation? Why would a Catholic want to join a Presbyterian organisation?

Yes, isn't it terrible! Just because you are not Jewish you cannot join a Jewish Club! I have a similar complaint,I CAN NO LONGER BE A MEMBER OF TATTERSALLS merely because I cannot afford the annual Members fee.Why don't we get together for a beer and discuss the formulation of a club that has no rules or membership fee and is open to everybody who wishes to join.It is sure to be a great success!

As a person with a British passport and an Australian passport, who happens to be living in Australia at the moment and who is an atheist, I have usually thoroughly enjoyed my visits to various clubs with titles like The Italian Association(serves excellent meals), The Spanish Club, the Estonial club, etc., etc.

The reason I have enjoyed myself is that the other members are interesting because they are different, and I get to hear their point of view, enjoy their humour and so on. And they are invariably very welcoming, presumably because I am different to them.

The Israelis are doing a very good job of giving Jews a bad name. I wouldn't have thought that they would need any help.

Ha ha. I sneaked into the local Irish pub at the weekend for a Guinness and got away with it.
To be sure.

So is the post started by and antisemite, or just a troll?
