Sydney In Solidarity 3 August 2014

geoffff

ABC news reported that 5000 people attended the pro-Israel peace rally in east Sydney and that organisers were forced to change venues to accommodate the unexpected crowd. There was heavy security.

The usual sunday pro-Hamas war rally in the City attracted about 3000.

If you watch very closely you should see Shirlee. She's the lady with the blue and white flag.

Wasn't there.
A complete disgrace to hide us away in the ghetto. Bloody cowards scared of their own shadows. We need some leaders with guts.

We should have been in the City for everyone to see us.

I am fuming. Didn't you see my letter in the AJN after the first meeting was held in Central shul?

We should not be hiding away
ONCE again I, and many others, are ashamed it was deemed necessary by our "communal leaders" in NSW to hide us away behind brick walls in order to show our solidarity with Israel.
What an utter disgrace and embar-rassment that we cannot hold our heads high and support our "family" in Israel. Our other major cities held open air rallies, why were we hidden away? Are we so precious?
I was told "At the end of the day, the safety and security of our community are my responsibility."
What gives this person the right to speak for 42,000 people? We aren't children. We have minds of our own. We can decide for ourselves what to do. Our young IDF personnel are dying in Gaza in order to bring peace and stability to Israel and we hide? We are the laughing stock of the Jewish world The internet is alive with this news. We are not in the ghettos any more. We said never again. Now it's time to stand up for what we believe in and who we are. Jews, proud honest and upright
My father and others like him stood up to the Fascists in the East End of London in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. My father lived with death threats over his head, but he didn't hide.
I think the backlash from this says it all - the emails, phone calls, comments on the web and, above all, the low number of people in attendance at Sunday's gathering.

Barack Obama on the so-called "Arab Spring" (May 19, 2011):

"There are times in the course of history when the actions of ordinary citizens spark movements for change because they speak to a longing for freedom that has been building up for years. In America, think of the defiance of those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat."

The "Arab Spring" was the brutal rise of political Islam in the Middle East and this is what Obama compares the Civil Rights Movement to?

How's that for a kick in the head to Martin Luther King, Jr.?

The Fundamental Argument:

The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.

Such venues include political journals, such as, but not limited to, Daily Kos, the Huffington Post, and the UK Guardian, numerous universities throughout the United States and Europe, various NGOs with an anti-Israel agenda, and the entire progressive-left movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction (BDS) the Jewish people of the state of Israel.

These venues and organizations do not generally criticize Israel, but dehumanize that country.

For this reason, among others, the progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, undermines the well-being and safety of Jews around the world, sometimes resulting in violence toward us.

Therefore, as a matter of common sense and basic human decency, Jews should leave the progressive movement and the Democratic Party as we seek to build alternative political structures that are not home to toxic anti-Semitic anti-Zionists, who would see us robbed of self-determination and self-defense.

What You Can't Discuss:

This is a partial list of taboo topics within progressive-left venues around the Arab-Israel conflict. You cannot discuss this material because it undermines the "Palestinian narrative" of perpetual victimhood. This narrative is a club used by the Arab and Muslim enemies of Israel, along with their western progressive allies, to delegitimize that country in preparation for its eventual dissolution.

1) The centuries of Jewish dhimmitude under the boot of Islamic imperialism.

2) The recent construction of Palestinian identity, its connection to Soviet Cold War politics, and how this is an Arab people with a Roman name that refers to Greeks.

3) Arab and Palestinian Koranically-based racism as the fundamental source of the conflict.

4) The ways in which contemporary progressive anti-Zionism serves as a cloak for gross anti-Semitism.

5) The Palestinian theft and appropriation of Jewish history.

6) "Pallywood."

7) The historical connections between the Nazis, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Palestinian national movement.

8) The perpetual refusal of the Palestinian-Arabs to accept a state for themselves in peace next to the Jewish one.

9) The progressive portrayal of terrorists as those fighting a righteous war of "resistance."

10) The Arab-Palestinian indoctrination of children with Jew hatred.

11) Human rights violations against women, children, and Gay people in the Muslim Middle East.

12) The fact that violent Jihadis call themselves "Jihadis" and claim to love death above life.

This is only a partial list, so please let us know the many more that we are missing.
