Some thoughts on some of the responses we've seen to the firebombing of the Adass Israel Synagogue of Melbourne in Ripponlea.
The attack on the synagogue in Melbourne is completely despicable and the only sensible reaction is abject horror and solidarity with the Jewish community.

Less than 24 hours after the firebombing, conspiracy theories were circulating about the attack which serve to minimise the very real trauma & terror experienced by the Adass Israel community.  

We've seen a small cohort of so-called "left" reactionaries and grifters who believe that places of worship are legitimate targets for firebombing attacks.  These people are toxic and contribute nothing of worth to an essential campaign against a cruel & unrelenting genocide - in fact they actively harm that movement. They need to be shunned.

The logic that a shul in Melbourne should bear responsibility for war crimes in Gaza is the same logic which the IDF employs.

Reposting here: I wrote this for @crikeynews.bsky.social about what the violence in Amsterdam tells us about antisemitism, anti-Palestinian racism and the misuse of Holocaust and pogrom analogies www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/11/a...

Selective reporting on Amsterdam attacks perpetuates anti-Palestine racism and antisemitism
Until global leaders and the media are honest about events like the Amsterdam attacks, anti-Palestine racism and antisemitism will flourish.

Jews, antisemitism and power in Australia
In Australia, antisemitism has never operated as a racial ideology in a vacuum.
