Jews are not responsible for the war in Gaza
The article in today’s P&I, “Beware misguided attempts to protest the horrific Israeli genocide by David Lockwood, is a quite appalling article that essentially holds Jews in Australia who support Israel as bearing some responsibility for the war in Gaza. It also trivialises the antisemitism that is occurring almost daily in Australia. It even manages to trivialise the labelling of the fire-bombing of the Adass Synagogue as an act of terrorism.
Conflating the antisemitism in Australia with the war in Gaza isn’t simply political comment, it gaslights the lived experience of Jews in Australia and discounts the seriousness of what is occurring in Australia.
I don’t think Pearls and Irritations should have published this article.
