“I am deeply concerned that we will hear, once again, predominantly from Zionist and pro-Israel Jewish witnesses describing their perceptions of protests they have not attended, while Jewish people who have actually participated in those protests...are excluded from giving evidence.” -Judith Treanor

I don't expect all Jewish people in Australia to condemn the behaviour of Israelis toward Palestinians. However, the people blaming critics of the conduct of Israel's gov't & West Bank "settlers" for "antisemitism", while remaining silent about that conduct, are telling us exactly who they are.

Just once I’d like Greenblat, Ryvchin, Segal et al to acknowledge and condemn this ‘settler’ terrorist behavior. Their silence says everything. Mind you our media never asks, yet fall over themselves to demand Muslim Australians to condemn ISIS. 😏

@forbes.com you don't mean 'contentious', you mean 'very stupid'. And why say 'factually inaccurate' when it's clearer to say, 'not true', 'lies', 'complete. bullshit' or 'just plain apeshit crazy'. Don't waft, report.

The government cannot ask Muslims not to compare

The government created a legitimate comparison when it appointed envoys for Islamophobia and antisemitism, and Muslim communities are entitled to ask whether both responses reflect equal protection.
