I rarely publish personal opinion posts but when you stay silent, you inadvertently support and condone what is wrong. I wonder what my late grandparents who were Holocaust survivors would think of the firebombing of the synagogue in Melbourne. No words can justify these actions. No matter which side of the fence you stand on, an attack of this kind is abhorrent regardless of how you choose to rationalise it. #notoviolence #antisemitism #Australia2024 #ThisisNOTOK
Thank you for sharing Tali, I did not hear about this. My sincere thoughts and prayers are with the jewish communities and their allies who have been touched by this terrible act 🙏. Sadly, the ripple effects of this will be felt much more widely than the local community of the synagogue.
I wonder why anti- semitism is on the rise. 🤔 I don’t condone any acts of terrorism. Anywhere.
Yes it is terrible, you certainly don’t expect this is Australia however more & more of these types of crimes are happening! How can we stop it? certainly start by not letting them off the hook so easily! The people or gang that did this needs to be found and punished severely for their actions! Incarcerated for sure otherwise they get away with it and just go and do it again!
I abhor all racism and, at this time of unimaginable and hateful attacks in a country that has been safe haven to so many, I particularly abhor anti-semitism. I stand in solidarity with our Jewish community in demanding safety, support and respect.
Our thoughts and prayers with those who are impacted by the horrific acts of violence.
I’ve got your back !
Thank you for supporting us. It’s a tragedy for all Australians and the whole world!
Good words !

1wThe issue is more that we have a government, well 3 senior labor politicians , who clearly are no friends of Israel and certainly couldn’t care less about the hostages. So this now gets played out in the community. They have fuelled the anti semitism we are experiencing today and are either too dumb or naive to realise it or if they do realise it , they don’t care. We will get through this - and the pendulum is now swinging . The 3 will be looking for chairs when the music stops ! Shavua tov
