Australian Zionists condemn QUT’s (Queensland University of Technology Australia) lecture.
An event hosted and sanctioned by QUT featured a speaker who claimed that Zionist groups were complicit in the spread of “racism, Islamophobia, and anti-immigrant sentiment.
Videos posted of the event feature Jewish human rights lawyer Sarah Schwartz, an executive officer of the Jewish Council of Australia. This collective represents anti-Zionist Jews, known in Australia for its pro-Palestinian views.
She presented a slideshow that featured slides that mocked Zionist supporters of Australian politician Peter Dutton. He is known for his hate of Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims and “thinks of anti-Semitism as the only form of racism.”
The Jewish Chronicle wrote that Schwartz went on to allege that antisemitism was being exploited to promote division and support right-wing political agendas, including Dutton’s and other members of the right-wing Australian federal coalition.
Schwartz also showed a slide featuring a collage of pro-Israel figures, including Dutton, Elon Musk, and President Donald Trump, captioned with, “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”
“The New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies (JBD) claimed that the event was “hateful, racist and xenophobic – malevolently working with politicians for nefarious purposes.”[i
Australia is not the only country where the Zionists express their racism. So is South Africa, where chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein slammed Pretoria’s decision to recall all of its diplomatic staff in protest over Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.
South African Chief Rabbi Warren Goldstein on Thursday slammed the SA government’s decision to recall all of its diplomatic staff from Tel Aviv to Pretoria in protest over Israel’s war crimes.
“South Africa, together with all of the opponents of the State of Israel who are marching in global capitals in every part of the world, are in fact the useful idiots of Iran,” he said in a 25-minute video statement uploaded to YouTube.[ii
“In supporting Iran and Hamas … , what the South African government is doing is not only betraying the State of Israel and the Jewish people, not only betraying democracies throughout the world, they are betraying black Christians in Africa,” continued the rabbi.[iii]
On Monday, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, a minister in the South African President’s Office, told a press briefing that the diplomatic staff in Tel Aviv will head back home for consultations.
“We are … extremely concerned at the continued killing of children and innocent civilians in the Palestinian territories, and we believe the nature of the response by Israel has been overcome one of collective punishment,” Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor said.” [iv]
During the days of the apartheid, the Zionists in South Africa, which was a very close friend of Israel, supported the racist regime. The Jewish establishment and most South African Jews remained focused on Jewish issues. A few rabbis spoke out against apartheid early, but they failed to gain support, and it was not until 1985 that the rabbis as a whole condemned apartheid.
Zionism is losing its grip over the Jews as a growing number, especially the young Jews, are turning against the Zionist apartheid state and its crimes. For this reason, the racist Zionists are attacking the anti-Zionists and hate, in particular, the anti-Zionist Jews.
This is the time to inform the real history of the collaboration of the Zionists with Nazi Germany until at least 1940. For this information, you can read Lenni Brener’s books on Zionism in the Age of Dictatorship and 51 documents.
Down with racist Zionism!
Down with Israel-the Zionism monster!
For Palestine, red and free from the river to the sea!
