Anti-racist Jews threatened by Zionist McCarthyism

Excellent article by Professor Henry Reynolds. Australians are subject to massive “antisemitism hysteria”.

Antisemitism occurs in two equally repugnant forms, anti-Jewish antisemitism and anti-Arab antisemitism (including Islamophobia) but these three key terms (and indeed about 80 pertinent terms) were not mentioned in the recently released “Special Envoy’s plan to combat antisemitism”.

Data published by expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet indicates that 136,000 Gazans died violently by 25 April 2025, with a “conservatively estimated” four times that number (544,000) dying from imposed deprivation for a shocking total of 680,000 deaths.

However, in Australia (as well as the US and UK), this carnage has been under-counted by a factor of 10 and deliberately masked by a massive, Zionist-run and hysterical “antisemitism” campaign that now threatens a McCarthyist curb on free speech in Australia and in our universities in particular.

Anti-racist, anti-apartheid and anti-Zionist Jews such as myself and the wonderful Jewish Council of Australia are not just vilified by Zionists, but threatened by this Zionist McCarthyism. However, my repeated complaints to media and MPs are ignored.
