Like the UK labour party, the Aus greens are anti-semitic and every now and again this rears its head.

"Jewish figures have accused ­Julian Burnside of anti-Semitism and breaking a promise to Holocaust survivors after the prominent human rights barrister took to social media to equate Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians to Nazi Germany.

Mr Burnside, who once represented Alan Bond and Rose Porteous but has more recently taken up various human rights causes, had in 2018 been condemned by the Jewish community after reposting an image showing Defence Minister Peter Dutton’s face superimposed on a Nazi officer in a uniform that ­included the “death’s head” emblem used by the SS unit responsible for concentration camps

Mr Burnside, at the time, said it was not a reference to the Holocaust but accepted an invitation from the Anti-Defamation Commission to meet with survivors as a “common courtesy”.

Dvir Abramovich, the ADC’s chairman, said Mr Burnside had apologised and told Holocaust survivor Moshe Fiszman he would not make comparisons with Nazi Germany in the future.

On Wednesday, however, Mr Burnside wrote on Twitter that Israel’s “treatment of the Palestinians looks horribly like the German treatment of the Jews during the Holocaust”.

See my post on this 31/7/21. Let's see if anyone except the Green number will respond this time.

Shadow Minister,

How does Julian Burnside's critique of Israel's
policies towards the Palestinians equate as
anti-Semitism? As a human rights advocate surely
Mr Burnside should be free to express his opinion
on this matter and not be tarred with the anti-Semitic
brush? This seems like just another attempt to silence
any critics of Israeli policies as Antony Lowenstein
and so many others can attest when they proceeded to criticize Israel's policies.

Shadow Minister,

Israel commits war crimes in Gaza and maintains
a regime recently recognized by Human Rights Watch
as apartheid. Of course it is vital to fight genuine
anti-Semitism. However, this is just another attempt
to defame individuals like Julian Burnside and
others, and even organizations who support human rights
for Palestinians and who resist the Israeli apartheid
regime as anti-Semitic - even if these individuals and
organizations are themselves Jewish.

Bad show - but usual Zionist tactics. Don't fall for them.

Greens hate everybody; humans are a threat to their imaginary pristine environment. How the 8% of them think that they can survive without the rest of us does not enter their fevered minds. Slavery, perhaps, because the environment is the only thing differentiating them from the Chinese Communist Party.

Jews are an easy target for the Greens, because more people than not are anti-Semitic

Israel was ranked as the world's 8th strongest power
on the basis of three things:

1) Military might.

2) International influemce.

(and pay attention this is what was said) -

3) International alliances.

This is what Netanyahu told the Likud Knesset caucus:

" It wasn't I who chose to say that. They ranked us
according to our international power and our international
alliances," he said.

Israel an easy target?

Hardly.
