On Australian Campuses, Antisemitism Raises Its Red Head

Who wrote this pretty little missive (picture, Australian Jewish News: "Death to the Zionist Entity Love from Hamas") during the past week?

Who scrawled "No Jew world order" and a Star of David containing the number 666 [supposedly the "number of the beast"] on a campus sign at the University of Adelaide during the past week?

Who intimidated and harassed Jewish students in separate incidents at the Australian National University (located in Canberra) and the Universityof New South Wales (located in Sydney) during the past week?

Far Right racists?

Ah, no!

Here's a clue:
A spokesman for federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne has commented that the BDS Movement has given antisemitism “a fashionability among highly ignorant sections of the far left”.

The antisemites in these cases are said to belong to an obnoxious organisation calling itself the Socialist Alternative.

  1. I was physically and verbally intimidated by the leader of the Sydney section of this group. It was at a 'gathering' prior to one of their assaults on the Max Brenner store in Newtown, Sydney.

    I was fortunate the LAC Sergeant was on hand, who I know well from working against the BDS actions in the suburb.

    There are a number of 'the enemy within' who are part of this group. A couple of whom are Gay.

    Just great isn't it? Jewish, Gay, anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian.
    What more can you want ?

  2. “a fashionability among highly ignorant sections of the far left”.

    No, it's most of the left. Nearly of it.

  3. It certainly seems to be veering that way.

  4. As one historian pointed out, it,s "rich man antisemitism" - the perception of Jews as plutocrats. The lefties who assume all Jews are rich is a stereotypal ethnic "slur" and they'd soon be yelling "racist" at stereotypes aimed at any other ethnic group.

  5. sorry, above comment badly worded - I'm a klutz on an IPad keyboard. I cannot remember the historian's name.
