Letter

In response to Blame, grief and responsibility after Bondi

Thank you, George Browning

Thank you, George Browning, for your courage in articulating what many of us are thinking but too reticent to express.

There has been a rise in antisemitism in Australia over the past two years. Of that there is no doubt. Our hearts go out to our Jewish Australians who have been the targets. Australian Jews are suffering horrifically and so unjustly by the rise of an antisemitism which has its genesis not in the policies of the Albanese Government as Netanyahu asserts. Its the genocidal actions of the Israeli Government under Netanyahu’s Presidency against innocent Palestinians which have precipitated the dissemination of antisemitism.

The horrendous Bondi massacre is being weaponised and used as a political football. This needs to be called out and condemned as promulgation of appalling misinformation. Our highly valued Australian Jewish people deserve better than this.
