The fire-bombing of a busy synagogue in Australia in 2024 is heart-wrenching and deeply shocking.
Anthony Albanese's disappointing response to the firebombing of a Melbourne synagogue has once again highlighted his failure to tackle the serious issue of antisemitism, with the Prime Minister’s severe lack of control having a detrimental effect amid the"lawlessness that’s unfolding in our country," writes Sharri Markson .The mere thought that Jewish Australians aren’t safe praying peacefully in our place of worship is unfathomable and unacceptable.
I personally have implored the prime minister on Sky News virtually every night for the past 14 months to take action on this despicable trend before it’s too late. Yes, antisemitism has been around for thousands of years, but not in Australia it hasn’t. Not in my lifetime, it hasn’t. We are experiencing an unprecedented rise in Australia in antisemitism since October 7 2023. It’s on Albanese’s watch.
He is also washing his hands of responsibility for this racism crisis and abdicating his leadership on this issue. There hasn’t been strong enough political leadership to unequivocally say that protests won’t be tolerated outside a synagogue; this sort of protest is only against Jews at their place of worship - it’s nothing to do with the Middle East and it cannot be tolerated. It is wrong and un-Australian to simply protest the Jewish faith.
She demands Israel recognise a Palestinian state, even though a terrorist group, Hamas is the current governing body in Gaza.
