This is the nasty old left and we know these guys. They have always used idiots for what they are worth and right now there is a premium on idiots who are "Jews". They are especially useful idiots for now.<br /><br />Likely they have been recruiting for years and for certain there is plenty of funding for any of the leftist cults that attack . Norman Lebrecht talks about UK Jews taken on carefully guided tours of "Palestine".

I usually ignore Loewenstein and I don't mention him or anyone else. It was an attack on BDS and an attack on Jews who support BDS linked to a YouTube of Noam Chomsky (of all people) denouncing BDS as "pure antisemitism" .<br /><br />It's the first time I've ever posted anything to the ABC other than a formal complaint. Since then they have put up another three anti-Israel opinion pieces including one from Ali Kuzak. No sign of mine though,among other things denouncing BDS as antisemitism, even with Chomsky due in town next month to pick up his peace prize. <br /><br />I guess they have a long queue. Sure that must be it. This is the ABC. Any suggestion of bias on this subject is out of the question. They have a public duty.geoffffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-70049606996757837372011-10-04T18:46:07.241+11:002011-10-04T18:46:07.241+11:00David.. try coming to Newtown on the 29th, then yo...David.. try coming to Newtown on the 29th, then you can ask them yourself.

How a Jew can support boycotting the goods and services produced by another Jew is a mystery to me. <br /><br />Criticising Government policy is one thing.<br /><br />But punishing a fellow Jew by not buying his chocolates or face cream or calling for a University to stop him lecturing because the democratically elected Government of which he is a citizen has a policy you don't like is inane. Any Jew falling for that three card trick is really dumb.<br /><br />Perhaps one of those Jews who is doing so can enlighten me.david singernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-53970584758373565492011-10-04T00:34:48.309+11:002011-10-04T00:34:48.309+11:00http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011/09/fcking-jew...http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011/09/fcking-jew-abuse-at-max-brenner-protest.html<br /><br />http://daphneanson.blogspot.com/2011/09/hitlers-little-helper-more-footage-of.htmlDaphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-76251655409648490222011-10-04T00:01:16.978+11:002011-10-04T00:01:16.978+11:00David you should have been at the other end of New...David you should have been at the other end of Newtown for the last BDS action.

I am delighted to know you have been ...Dear Daphne<br /><br />I am delighted to know you have been following and enjoying my articles.<br /><br />As one of those involved in the formation of AFASI – it was extremely encouraging to see the turn out to hear Ron Weiser and Jeremy Jones at our inaugural function last night.<br /><br />We aim to unite our community in ending the denigration and delegitimization of Jews by fellow Jews which only weakens us in our efforts to ensure a strong and secure Israel.<br /><br />The sight of Jews actively participating in the BDS campaigns at Max Brenner restaurants throughout Australia is an example of how the community is being divided by what I believe is a campaign of misinformation – whose real object is to denigrate and delegitimize Jews and create the justification for any future attempt to eradicate the State of Israel.<br /><br />Another is the claim often made by Jewish people that Jewish settlement in the West Bank and Gaza is illegal in international law – when Jews have been given the specific legal right to live there under article 6 of the Mandate for Palestine and article 80 of the UN Charter.<br /><br />Whether they should do so is an issue on which Jews can – and do – have differing opinions which they are entitled to – and do – express.<br /><br />But we should all be united in understanding that the claim of illegality is not as cut and dried as those who make the claim and who then assert that those Jews who are doing so should be thrown out or are fair game to be attacked or otherwise be made to suffer for the consequences of acting illegally.<br /><br />AFASI hopes to counter and address issues such as these by holding meetings such as last night and providing information on our website http://www.afasi.org.to counter the anti-Israel misinformation and hate programs that have flooded the internet. A visit to our website to watch the videos that have been posted is well worthwhile. <br /><br />Any comments, criticisms and suggestions would be appreciated.<br /><br />We need to reach out to those in the community that are apparently being influenced and affected to act as they do because of such misinformation.<br /><br />I urge all in the community and beyond to join AFASI in our efforts. <br /><br />If you send your email addresses to dsinger2000@gmail.com I will have you placed on the AFASI mailing list.david singernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-40561528276277806752011-10-03T22:18:12.456+11:002011-10-03T22:18:12.456+11:00Yes, there were 100 people there, according to J-W...Yes, there were 100 people there, according to J-Wire.Daphne Ansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12297188759548931101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-57738272786771085452011-10-03T20:40:53.161+11:002011-10-03T20:40:53.161+11:00Thanks Daphne-your remarks are most appreciated
