In 2024, my brother’s home was vandalised with “Free Gaza” and “Jews kill babies” scrawled across his car window. Antisemitism in Australia is spreading like wildfire and becoming the norm.
Thank you for writing this, and, from someone on the other side of the world, hang in there. My heart breaks whenever I see an article in the Times of Israel about violence in Australia. And hateful words ARE violence and intimidation.
I think you are wrong, I think Trump, who is flawed in so many ways, has a strong heart for justice and the plight of the Jewish people. And I do not think the average American is anti Semitic, I think it is the University intellectuals that are feeding these fires and keeping them alive.
I’m a 71 year-old retired anesthesiologist and I grew up in the 1950s and 60s watching documentary World War II footage in “the world at war“ and “victory at sea”. I have had many colleagues and friends that were brave and capable and plucky Jews. God help us all if we go any farther down this road.
We have to understand that these days are the “ End of Days “ in Torah. The battle of good and evil has always been but now it is global revolution, global intifada. The whole world needs total purification. In Torah it is that we have descended to Egypt twice, but we have ascended from Egypt only once. Now the days of final redemption are near , we have to ascend away from “ our Egypt “ ( wherever we are) and return home to Eretz Yisrael. HASHEM is uniting us with this hard testing but the final Redemption is very close to come . The Third Temple and the Kingdom of Israel ( Davidic Dynasty) are eternal and Sanhedrin will be in the Third Temple. Praying will achieve new heights and stronger levels with the Third Temple. There will be monthly ceremonies for the New Moon , of course all the old ones in the Third Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. The nature will calm and peace is eternal after Shechinah is dwelling in the Third Temple on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem. All the Jews will return to home to Yisrael according their tribes . Baruch HASHEM 🙌🙏🇮🇱❤️🇮🇱🙌🙏
It is a battle of good and evil. Satan hates the Jewish people because God chose them to reveal Himself through. Most people are not aware of what the hatred is and where it comes from. But as it reads in the book of Job none of God’s purposes will be thwarted.
I don't often read about Australia, so it's good to get an essay and hear what's happening.
Unfortunately, it saddens me that Australia is no different from the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Europe. The only bright light recently has been the election of Donald Trump and a new administration promising to reverse this trend of self-hate.
What has happened over the past two or three decades has been an alliance between the Islamists and Marxists, and they have taken over the education system and taught WOKE DEI gender politics postmodernism and all the rest of the garbage that has brought about the tearing down statues the rise of antisemitism, teaching white kids that they are oppressors and black kids as oppressed etc.
So, the hope is that America will see the reverse of this and get to a place of normalcy.
Canada also seems to have had a backlash, and we are hoping to get rid of Trudeau and see Pierre Poilievre rise to power as the conservative majority leader. He has also promised to be hard on immigration, hard on antisemitism, and to reverse this WOKE DEI ideology.
As far as Europe, England, Germany and Australia, I hope they follow suit. Perhaps it is too late for them, but hopefully, that is not the case. Good luck to all decent people down under, and we must all take up the fight and not remain silent.
My general assumption is that the police do what they're told. That is the nature of police. And perhaps it's the way it should be.
I'm not sure police making up their own mind about what should and should not be enforced is a great idea.
But that means that the people in charge have to give them proper instruction. So this tells us that the people in charge of your police do not see anti-semitic behavior as a problem that needs to be policed.
(Is it true that the police do not enforce violent anti-semitic behavior? Is there data to support it?)
This is the problem that has to be addressed. There must be enough will in the populace to change the political leadership. The police are not magical beings. They follow instructions.
The current government has allowed this to escalate. The hordes who descended on the Opera House 2 days after the massacre should have been stopped and arrests made. Jews told to stay home for their own safety should have been protected and allowed to gather at the Opera House - on which the flag of Israel was projected. It’s pretty basic stuff really. The online hate since then has been horrifying and relentless. Politicians have been equally culpable of spreading hate and lies without consequences.
Firstly please accept my shame at what has happened to my country & city since 1988. Jews are a colourful community in Melbourne but the python strangulation of Muslim/ME immigration over decades has done its job: transformed the Australian demographics into a hostile environment. The unholy alliance of Islam & leftist has been building for ages and finally got the spark to "bring forth the revolution" by Gaza. The Labor party is now beholden to minority interest groups and hostage to them.
Unfortunately you can substitute Australia with Canada too. My local synagogue was fire bombed as well, our politicians have nothing to say but empty platitudes, police arrest Jewish protesters for their “safety” and my son who studies at McGill has to walk past EVERY day pro-Hamas supporters. But the tide is turning. The balance of power in the middle east has shifted, Trump is implementing some very strong anti-hate policies and in Canada it looks like the woke Trudeau train is soon to leave. We’ve outlasted many empires and we will continue to thrive! Am Israel Chai!
I was astounded at a Palestinian demonstration at our daughter’s MBA graduation here in Indiana. They took over the end of a hallway, ululated, danced, shouted and brought drums etc. Totally out of line. I saw at least one Jewish student coming down the hall duck back into the hotel ballroom to avoid them. We were furious but the college did nothing. I believe Hashem is herding His children to safe harbor in Israel for the End of Days. So sorry this is happening!!!
That would be great on its own, but even this is not enough. They already have "critical mass" enough in the electorate to throw their weight around. Trump's objective of removing jus soli citizenship rights is a good step.
if we imagine for a minute the possiblity that some or all of the aborigines are exiles from the 500+ years of pogroms, inquisitions, crusades, orthodox schism, mar zutra escape, roman oppresion, seleucid occupation, and the exiles from shushan, bavel, asshur, yerovvam ben nevat, the succession crisis, the battles against amalek,

My homeland of Canada is no better. And in the U.S., where I now live, we are heading down the same road.
It will be more covert with the new administration in Washington but it smolders it n the hearts of the ungodly.

Never again! 🙏🇮🇱
American streets and college campuses which are tolerated by the Democrats and the legacy media are dominated by anti Semites
True, how can we reverse this insanity?

We are hopeful for a similar change of government here too.
Is there a particular politician or Party that you are supporting? Someone similar in policies to Trump

Perhaps it's these elected "leaders" that need to be replaced. The populace must speak by voting.
The public mood in Australia is decidedly for a change of government. The majority of the public are sick of the protests and the antisemitism.
Yes, I hope so!
Sorry, but I think it's time to make aliyah.

The west HAS to put a total stop to muslim immigration.
