I am pleased to note that the paid NIFAust aparatchik Liam Getreu has divulged some of the fellow travellers of the nullifying Israel fraud. He really should publish a full list of members, who seem to be so proud of their “liberal” postures; I like to know who my friends – and enemies – are. It would also be of interest to the Jewish community where the funds to pay him and run the NIF come from.

Not surprising this very controversial left wing group once investigated by Israeli authorities and renown for supporting Arab organizations even those who would like to see the end to the Jewish state attract the likes of Baker from the left wing ACJC at Monash..
I guess views by Baker such as the Israeli flag and Hatikva National anthem that contain the Magen David/ Star of David and Jewish theme are offensive & discriminatory to Israeli Arabs and a ‘Jewish National’ land has had its use by date.
I guess its not surprising that the head of a Study department that gives a Jewish platform to Palestinian activists that promote the BDS would fit in nicely to the the other Israel bashers at NIF.
You would think with so many pro- Palestinian organizations and support we have in Australia the last thing we needed are more Jewish Palestinian useful idiots.

In reply to Peter. Yes NIF it is high time you put your cards on the table. High time too that this web site stops giving oxygen to a group whose intent seems to be the destruction of Israel,

Margo says that “We are delighted that such eminent members of the Australian Jewish community have decided to join our co-patrons, Ambassador Martin Indyk and Ronni Kahn, the CEO of OzHarvest, in supporting the values and work of NIF Australia”

Come on Mr Rothman, is that true, do you support the values and work of NIF Australia?

Do you support the hosting of people from Breaking the Silence?

Do you support those who promote BDS of anything over the Green Line?

Do you support fighting against the JNF in the Negev?

Do you support aiding organisations who urged the formation of the Goldstone Commission?

According to Margo’s comments, it seems you do.

It is time for you to clarify what you actually do stand for please.

One must be grateful to NIF for allowing the real ideological identity of its members to be revealed.
This is a valuable contribution ( the only one !!!) to a necessary stance clarification.
As long as Mr. Margo shall be at the helm there is only one direction NIF can navigate and those tagged along shall be expected to be seen accordingly.
