A Melbourne wine bar and community radio station have come under fire for hosting a pro-Palestine event that saw participants make protest banners describing Israelis as “dumb white dogs”.
The community station is based in a wine bar and restaurant within an arts and community hub called Collingwood Yards in the city’s inner north.
“This isn’t just about posters. It’s about what it means to call for the end of Israel. That has real consequences.”An image of the banner was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Peter Horovitz – a Melbourne-based management consultant who describes himself as a “proud Zionist and fighter of anti-Semitism”.
“This is why we are proud to stand in solidarity with our First Nations neighbours, with our grieving Arab and Jewish friends, and with all of those calling for an end to the violence in occupied Palestine.” A mezuzah is a small case that contains a tiny scroll of parchment inscribed with a prayer from the Torah and is hung on the doors of homes.
