The phrase: "The so-called Jewish lobby" has popped up in media recently, a clever bit of denialist rhetoric. Meanwhile the lobby is openly trying to influence Australia's politics. Today's pro-Israel Australian front-pages a rabbi claiming statements by leaders of the "anti-Israel Greens" are antisemitic in effect. What did they say?
Leader Larissa Waters said: ""the heinous acts of two men cannot be allowed to become a catalyst for more hate and division" and that the parliament should condemn "all forms of hate and intolerance".
Senator Mehreen Faruqi said: "we should not be rushing through legislation that fundamentally divides people by religion, or prevents people from critiquing governments and their human rights abuses, including Israel’s genocide in Gaza." Both drew comparisons between the 15 Bondi murders and the murders of 51 Muslims in Christchurch in 2019. While the Jewish lobby might not be comfortable with these statements, are they antisemitic? I don't think so. #Bondi #Israel #antisemitism #Gaza
"Opinion: American Democratic Freedoms Are Under Threat in the Name of Combating Antisemitism
In recent years, antisemitism has reemerged as a national crisis, with an alarming surge in incidents across the United States. In turn, political weaponization has taken hold, and efforts to combat faith-based hate have become increasingly contentious matters of public policy. US President Donald Trump has positioned the fight against antisemitism as a defining goal of his second term; yet his policies—rather than protecting Jewish Americans—reflect a broader project of restricting civil liberties, silencing dissent, and eroding pluralism. Notably, antisemitism was far from a central concern in his first term, prompting the question: what has motivated this drastic shift?
Policies from Trump’s first term did show an effort to address the country’s then-rising levels of antisemitism. In 2019, Trump signed Executive Order 13899, effectively expanding Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to protect against discrimination targeting Jews. The executive order also formally adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. Yet early controversies revealed stark contradictions between Trump’s rhetoric and his supposed desire to improve Jewish life in America.
The 2017 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville presented a troubling reality about Trump and his supporters. White nationalists and neo-Nazis marched under Confederate and Nazi flags, shouting 'Jews will not replace us.' Despite initially condemning the violence, Trump soon backtracked, proclaiming there were 'some very fine people on both sides.'
The January 6, 2021, Capitol attack offered another chilling reminder of how Trump’s movement threatens American civil liberties—and, for many Jewish Americans, their sense of safety. Rioters wearing shirts reading '6 million wasn’t enough' and 'Camp Auschwitz,' and waving Nazi flags, stormed the Capitol in support of Trump. Since then, Trump has not only praised these rioters as patriots but also pardoned them for their crimes, revealing his continued alignment with those who promote hatred and intolerance.
On the 2024 campaign trail, Trump adopted even more overtly antisemitic rhetoric, further undermining his claim to be combating antisemitic intolerance. In March 2024, he declared, 'Any Jewish person who votes for Democrats hates their religion.' Three months later, in a live interview, he added, 'If you’re Jewish, if you vote for a Democrat, you’re a fool—an absolute fool.' These divisive remarks made clear his second-term agenda: to reward the Jewish people he deems 'worthy,' while dismissing dissenting Jewish voices across the political spectrum. Since his 2024 victory, Trump’s approach has shown little consultation with Jewish leaders and no concern for the broader consequences of his actions. After his reelection, Trump’s pledge to combat antisemitism evolved from ambiguous intent to deliberate exploitation—using Jewish suffering as a means of advancing his broader ideological agenda."
"#AijaMayrock, a #Jewish #poet, #performer, and #author known for her work on #bullying and #antisemitism, has turned her attention to the surge of #online content targeting #Chasidic communities in #NewYork. In a recent reflection on #socialmedia, she responded directly to a widely watched video about #Chasidic #Williamsburg, saying she once shared similar fears but changed her mind after spending real time with residents there.
#Mayrock explains that she went into Chasidic Williamsburg without a project or agenda and simply spoke with people over several days. That experience, she says, convinced her that many popular portrayals are badly distorted."
This is pretty high up on the list of dumbest shit ever.

"...claim that the Labour Party was riven with antisemitism: ‘If people are combatting antisemitism only in the #Labour Party and not in the #Tory Party, they’re not combatting #antisemitism, they’re combatting the Labour Party’." — #MichaelRosen

"Some people will look at these clips and claim it’s antisemitic to even share them. Others will look at them and cite them as evidence that the world is ruled by Jews. For me they’re just evidence that the world is ruled by wealthy sociopaths, and that western democracy is an illusion... I mean, you really couldn’t ask for a better illustration of the sham of American democracy than this. Two billionaires from supposedly opposite political parties publicly admitting that they use their obscene wealth to manipulate US politics to advance the military and geopolitical agendas of a foreign state on the other side of the planet..."
To be opposed to the spuriously-faithbased whitenationalist ideology that excuses and promotes genocide like the 2025-6 US-Israeli #holocaust in Gaza and broader Western Asia - whether or not you label it as antizionism - is to be in favor of democracy over authoritarianism.
#Antizionism isn't #antisemitism, period. #deconflate It is however antifascism. Which is why hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions, have been spent (on something the Likud and other Israelis call Hasbara) to vilify those of us who find the now-ubiquitous, 21st Century #fascism intolerable. The US bargain with the people running the colonialist, occupying, apartheid, terror state of Israel was always a devil's bargain, in the end helping to promote and reinforce the US version of white-nationalism and its enforcers who are now at war against the US public in places like Minnesota. And Maine. And North Carolina. And Oregon. And Illinois.

#Antisemitism cynically weaponized by people whose actual politics often align with or enable real antisemitic movements. They’re not protecting Jews - they’re exploiting Jewish safety concerns to advance far-right, #Islamophobic, and anti-left political goals while using #eugenic language that would make 1930s immigration restrictionists nod approvingly.
Some quotes taken from The #Telegraph - a right-wing British newspaper hostile to #Starmer’s Labour government - which “broke the story” I believe:
Garson’s characterization of British Jews as desirable asylum seekers is textbook eugenic framing: “highly educated community,” “speaks English natively,” “doesn’t have a high proportion of criminals.”
Excellent criteria for model citizens. See Jeffrey #Epstein (financier, sex trafficker), Bernie #Madoff (largest Ponzi scheme in history), Sam #Bankman-Fried (crypto fraudster, billions stolen), Harvey #Weinstein (serial rapist) - all highly educated, native English speakers, yet among US’ most notorious criminals. Before we even check antisemitism rates in the USA: from Charlottesville’s “Jews will not replace us” chants to the Pittsburgh Tree of Life synagogue massacre (deadliest antisemitic attack in US history), the Poway synagogue shooting, the Jersey City kosher market attack, and the 2022 record-breaking spike that continued into 2023’s all-time high of 8,873 incidents.
The point isn’t that Jewish Americans are criminals. The point is Garson’s eugenic framing is absurd and offensive. His language implies other refugee groups have “high proportions of criminals” - classic racist immigration rhetoric. This is the same dehumanizing logic used to justify rejecting refugees fleeing actual violence, like Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
But honestly, why would Jews want to move to a country where #ICE operates as a budding #Gestapo, hunting and kidnapping people off the streets of major cities? A country with concentration camps at the border, family separations, and a president who called neo-Nazis “very fine people”? A country where the administration uses eugenic language to determine which refugees are “desirable”?
People know what happens when governments start categorizing people by ethnic desirability, deploying paramilitaries to round up unwanted populations, and building detention camps. The real danger to Jewish safety everywhere comes from the cynicism of pro-Israel “machers” (Yiddish makher) embedded in Trump’s administration, who are weaponizing antisemitism accusations while enabling the very fascist tactics that historically threaten Jews. They’re providing cover for far-right #authoritarianism by selectively invoking Jewish safety.

Today in Labor History January 18, 1943: The start of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In the summer of 1942, over a quarter million Jews were deported from the ghetto to Treblinka and murdered. In response, the remaining Jews began building bunkers and smuggling weapons and explosives into the ghetto. On January 18, 1943, when the Nazis began their second deportation of the Jews, the armed insurgency began. They fought with whatever they could smuggle into the ghetto: handguns, gasoline bottles and a few other weapons. They inflicted enough casualties on the Nazis that the deportation was halted within a few days. Only 5,000 Jews were removed, instead of the 8,000 planned. They knew from the start that the uprising was doomed. Most of the Jewish fighters did not expect to survive. Rather, they saw their resistance as a battle for their honor and a protest against the world's silence. Marek Edelman, one of the few survivors, said their inspiration to fight was "not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths."
