It’s interesting to note that the current general political indifference shown to the Jewish side, especially by Labor, would cause uproar if it were the other way around.
Could it be anything to do with the much larger part of our community that identifies as Islamic compared to the Jewish population. It’s worse than that when comparing the violent and aggressive majority against the low key passive Jewish way, however, the later should not be taken for granted as shown by the current continuing Jewish struggle following the heinous attack of October 7th.
But the political pragmatism of the Australian Labor will surely come back to haunt them at the next election; hopefully anyway.

Attack the messenger is a old tactic – “yawn”.

In reply to Adrian Jackson. Adrian, your reference to 'the Semite race' appears to indicate you are either innocently ignorant or an antisemite. I hope it's the former.

Does Jewish mean the religion or the Semite race I assume the latter in this population context? There are Jews, like non Jews, who put No Religion on the Australian Census. The No Religion section is now about 39% in Australia and growing. It is now the largest groups in the religion section of the Census.

I was surprised, I thought it was at around 130,000.

The rcaj should actively campaign for a Jewish box to tick at the next Census. Not having one sounds like deliberate discrimination.
