The constant blaming of Israel for civilian deaths and other one-sided, misplaced attacks on Israel’s conduct have undoubtedly contributed to an atmosphere permissive to the sharp rise in antisemitism since October 2023.
The Australian government’s November 21 decision to deny former Israeli justice and interior minister Ayelet Shaked a visa was a surprising act of hostility towards a democratic ally, especially considering the government won’t meaningfully act against the Iranian ambassador effectively
The events of October 7 and subsequent occurrences have severely traumatised the vast majority of the Jewish community. Many reactions to those events, including from our government, have compounded that trauma, creating feelings of isolation and even betrayal.Even early condemnations of the October 7 pogroms and acknowledgement of Israel’s right to defend itself included admonitions to Israel act in accordance with international law, as if Israel intended otherwise.
Even on the October 7 anniversary, the government couldn’t contain its condolence motion to the victims, also calling for a ceasefire and a two-state solution.
