We are proud Jewish people in Australia with diverse histories, traditions and politics. We are committed to the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world), calling out injustice, challenging assumptions and promoting debate.Pro-Israel Jewish organisations, that do not recognise the diversity of views among Australian Jews, do not speak for us.
While we have diverse views on many issues, we are united in our opposition to Israel’s continued policies aimed at the destruction of Palestinian life. We are opposed to the Israeli occupation and the prioritisation of the rights of Jewish people over the rights of Palestinians.
They don't spell out the details, but it appears they support replacing Israel with what Moammar Qaddafi used to call "Isratine" where Palestinians would be allowed to immigrate from all over the world to outvote Jews, and then vote to take away all Jewish rights.
The irony is that while they say they exist because mainstream Jewish organizations don't speak for them, these fringe Jews are calling themselves the Jewish Council of Australia. They are trying to represent themselves as being the voice of Australian Jewry - as if they represent the vast majority of Australian Jews who are Zionist!
According to a 2023 survey, 77% of Australian Jews - and 86% of those who answered - consider themselves Zionists, while only 13% said they were not. The number who identify as Zionist actually increased since the previous survey in 2017.
The "Jewish Council of Australia" is not only representing a fringe minority as mainstream Australian Jewry, but a shrinking minority!
The JCA is especially clueless by claiming that they oppose burning down synagogues when their partners in "peace" are the ones doing the burning. JCA says it wants "to work in solidarity with other groups facing bigotry and discrimination to fight all forms of racism." They are the antisemites, idiots!
If anything, Jews in Australia are more committed to Israel than Jews in most countries. Over 70% of Australian Jews have visited Israel three times or more, over 70% have relatives in Israel, over 70% have close friends in Israel.
Like other anti-Zionist fringe groups worldwide, the JCA is trying to deceive the larger public into thinking that Jews are divided about Israel. Their very name shows that they are the ones who are misrepresenting themselves, not the major Zionist Jewish organizations.
