Jews are the target of the current, unprecedented wave of hatred in Australia. Australia takes great pride in being a leader in richness and diversity. It welcomed some Holocaust victims after World War II. It was regarded as a shelter and the nation that was the furthest from bloody Europe. After the evils they had gone through, the Jews who went there rebuilt their existence and made significant contributions to all aspects of Australian life. A sizable crowd gathered outside the Sydney Opera House on October 9, two weeks after Hamas terrorists massacred 1, 200 people in Israel, and before Israel had started any true answer. According to witnesses, they were chanting,” F— the Jews,”” Where are the Jews,” and” Gos the Judais,” in honor of the murder. Since therefore, there has been a wave of hatred unlike anything that Jews in Australia have ever known. This goes beyond anti-Israel demonstrations. Immigrants are the target of attacks in all spheres of society, including scientific, commercial, cultural, and social ones. How can this occurrence be explained? The recent wave of racism has two main sources. First, there are Islamists, who make up a sizeable portion of the Muslim, primarily Muslim populations that have immigrated to Australia over the past 20–30 years. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people have brought bigotry with them. The extreme returned is the second group. There are also intense right-wing neo-Nazis, but they are insignificant in comparison to the hard left in terms of both number and influence. Sheikh Taj El-Din Hilaly, the most powerful Muslim cleric and former emir, was responsible for the Islamists ‘ initial rise to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s. He was notorious for his heinous assaults on Jews and Israel. Around 75,000 Muslims lived in Australia in the 1980s. There are currently over 800,000. In the past ten years, and especially in the last few weeks, there have been several instances of imams at mosques delivering sermons that contain the most heinous criticisms of Jews. In Australia, there has always been a dramatic left that was fixated on Jews and Israel. With their help for the PLO and efforts to vilify Israel, radical leftists turned college campuses into arenas in the 1970s and 1980s. Many graduates of the universities later joined unions and the Australian Labor Party’s ( ALP ) left wing. Some entered education. The group maintained a cordial connection with Israel while in power despite their best efforts to persuade the left-leaning ALP to support their positions. Nevertheless, there has been a steady rise in community ALP support for pro-Palestinian opportunities, and many of the positions now have sizable Arab constituents. The American Greens party was founded in 1992 with the goal of advancing economic and climate concerns. Some members of the Marxist difficult left, who brought their intense hatred of Israel with them, were drawn to their extreme ecological policies. The Greens have taken a very angry stance against Israel over the past ten years. On October 7, the curtain on blatant hatred was raised. They never only demanded a cease-fire, but they also refused to denounce Hamas and charged Israel with murder. They led large-scale rallies across the nation, including urging schoolchildren to participate, from the front lines. The Greens ‘ climate agenda has been very successful in winning over the woke, progressive, Gay, and inner urban leaders. One of its legislators, Jenny Leong, publicly stated that” the Jewish and Jewish lobby are infiltrating into every aspect of what is ethnic group parties.” They have joined forces with Islamists in an unholy alliance and used the Hamas story as their illustrious produce. In line with their anti-colonial information, they have interacted with the dramatic members of the Indian community to contrast Israel’s crimes against the “indigenous Palestinians” with those committed by colonial settlers against indigenous Aborigines. Many nearby city councils have passed or are proposing to go resolutions ranging from cease-fire calls to accusations of genocide and war crimes. The table of the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade, which the LGBTQ community celebrates every year, issued an opened letter this year in support of a cease-fire and to accept any donations from proponents of Israeli occupation. Neither Hamas nor the captives were mentioned. Despite the obvious idiocy of their support for Hamas,” Homos for Palestine” have been present at every presentation against Israel. The use of social press, which has no mechanism for criticism, was the last factor that facilitated the emergence of hatred. This has made it possible for the most heinous forms of love communication, abuse, and harassment to be directed at Israeli doctors, law enforcement officials, or artists. Israeli business owners have been warned that a widespread ban strategy will be launched against them unless they reject Zionism and denounce Israel for genocide. &# 13,

Best Stories &# 13: The most recent anger involved the doxxing of 600 Jewish WhatsApp support group members, which meant that their personal information, such as social media profiles, addresses, pictures, and employment details, were shared. Some people were harassed and threatened as a result, and some even lost their jobs. What is happening in Australia is also taking place in all significant Diaspora populations around the globe. Perhaps it’s time for the entire Jewish community to start a global strategy to” Never Again: Stop Antisemitism.” This strategy may include press and advertising in all press formats. Establishing coalitions with another communal groups is necessary. Wherever possible, federal involvement and support may be sought. Each nation must tailor its communications to local circumstances, and it will need significant funding and planning. Some events and players in Australia have shown egregious antisemitism and should be made public. A global plan like this has the potential to introduce antisemitism’s scourge and inspire nations to take serious action to combat it. It’s time for Jews to take the initiative and declare their confidence in their nationality and affiliation with the individuals and the State of Israel.
