How to create fear in the Australian Jewish community

September 2, 2025

Jack Waterford’s article fails to mention one pertinent aspect of the bombing of the Melbourne synagogue. That aspect is crucial, namely that the Adass branch of Jewish Orthodoxy is anti-Zionist and anti-Israel. The Israel lobby feasts on this lack of transparency and uses it to further its attempt to make Australia focus on so-called antisemitism, instead of the real issue, which is Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

In other words, if, as ASIO blandly declares, Iran is “responsible” for the “attacks”, then ASIO implies that Iranian Government officials are as uneducated and stupid as Australians who don’t know anything about the massive rift within the Jewish Orthodox community regarding the status and very existence of Israel.

This ASIO “indictment” of Iran is as specious as its affirmation that Saddam had WMDs and machines that shredded live human beings. The result: Albo evicts the Iranian ambassador and continues to take orders from Israel’s ambassador to Australia, not to mention heeding the “personal” letters from the mighty Bibi Mileikovsky himself. In the meantime, Gaza is being slaughtered by the “most moral army’ in the world.
