Einat Wilf might have been restating facts ‘we all know’, Schneur Naji, however they need repeating because they are fast becoming lost in the new mythology being accepted as ‘history’ by pro-Palestinian minded people everywhere. I believe it’s crucial to get these kinds of statements out there and really push them, because in a wider sense we are very much behind with the propaganda war being waged by Palestinians, other Arabs and misinformed, ignorant supporters of the Palestinian cause internationally.

These ‘motherhood’ statements, as you put it, are not going to be doing any good tucked away with you and like-minded people in the know in your community. Having a go at the southern states and left wing Trade Unionists in Queensland merely shows your conservatism and your personal politics, which should be a separate issue to the more important one of better support for Israel and better understanding of its history. Read some Australian history, without left wing Trade Unionists less well off people wouldn’t have had a chance of achieving any kind of equity.
Don’t let your different political persuasion blind you to that.

Why on earth do you have a problem with Rabbi Levi Wolf ‘entertaining’ her at the Central Synagogue? Because she’s a woman or because she’s a woman whose politics you decry? Ridiculous, as well as small-minded. Rabbi Levi Wolf is a breath of fresh air in decidedly smelly times.

Schneur, what is she saying that was incorrect?

Nothing.

She didn’t claim the Arab states have accepted the Jewish state, but are resorting to non-violent means more in a delgitimisation campaign, etc, that needs more counter-focus.

sounds like left wing old fashion propaganda.
We all know there is a large Arab population living in the State of Israel, who have full political rights and access to everything the State has to offer.
When the Arab World accepts Israel as the Jewish State, two states with emerge.
Einat Wilf and similar folk repeat motherhood statements which we all know.
Maybe it is fresh material to left wing trade unionists in Queensland or secular Jewish audiences in the southern states.
I do not understand how Rabbi Wolf at the Central Synagogue could entertain her, shame on you Levi.
Do you think the Rebbe would have been happy with such a decision?.
