Jillian Segal’s politics are abhorrent, as is the conflation of anti-Zionism with racism or any kind of bigotry. This appeasement by Labor of a foreign backed, racist and supremacist movement and its championed Apartheid Regime needs to stop. I think Australians want it to stop. Jews have never been oppressed or especially targeted in Australia, by Australians, certainly not compared to aboriginal Australians, or even Muslims or Asians. Remember Bondi was by Pakistani ISIS (who, if you know little about Islam and history, probably couldn't care less about Palestinians). This positive-segregation Zionists are pushing for is not just unjustified and unfair, but will promote antisemitism, which is of course what Israel and Zionists want. Australian Jews, mostly fine people like so many Australians I'm sure, do not need their own special protection laws or special privileged treatment at the behest of Zionists and Israel. They deserve the same protections as the rest of us, proportional to realistic threat. Australian Jews are not like Aboriginal Australians, for who we do have special laws, we have those because we colonised their country and wrecked their ancient culture, deliberately. Indeed, Israel could learn from Australia how to do better by their indigenous people, , the Palestinians, even after the fact of settler colonisation.
What antisemitism there is in Australia, outside of Israeli-model admiring Neo-Nazi groups, is caused by the crimes of Israel and the deliberate and dishonest conflation of Judaism and Israel and Zionism, by Zionists themselves.
ruining the definition of antisemitism is exactly the point
