Labor and Coalition ignore anti-racist Jewish views

August 26, 2025

Excellent and timely article by eminent Indigenous Australian Gregory Andrews. Sir Isaac Isaacs (Australia’s first Jewish and first Australian-born governor general) carefully and expertly demolished racist Zionism in the brilliant, 61-page booklet entitled “PALESTINE: Peace and Prosperity or War and Destruction? POLITICAL ZIONISM: Undemocratic, Unjust, Dangerous” (January 1946).

For details of this and other eminent anti-racist Jewish opinion Google “Jews against racist Zionism” from which one discovers the wisdom of numerous anti-racist Jewish writers from Hannah Arendt to Howard Zinn and including numerous anti-racist Jewish Australians (most notably today the humane and anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia).

Sir Isaac Isaacs’ 1946 excoriation of Zionism was the more remarkable because his humanity and legal clarity overcame any tribal loyalties and his loyalty to the British Empire, and came about 18 years after the 1928 Coniston Massacre of Indigenous Australians in Central Australia and 21 years before the 1967 Referendum that recognised citizenship of Indigenous Australians.

It is an utter disgrace that cowardly and US-beholden Labor, the unspeakably primitive and anti-science Coalition, and mendacious mainstream Australian presstitutes resolutely ignore such eminent anti-racist Jewish opinion and instead cravenly kowtow to rabidly racist Zionists with a fervent allegiance to Australia-violating Apartheid Israel.
