“Giving the Jews everything they want”

Highly antisemitic pamphlets posing highlighting the Liberal Party name were delivered to homes in the Caulfield area in Melbourne, home to a large Jewish community.

Titled “Giving the Jews everything they want”  were authorised by the National Socialist Network.
Amelia Hamer, Liberal candidate for Kooyong told J-Wire: “I am appalled by the atrocious, antisemitic material being circulated and paraded at the Kew Early Voting Centre by the National Socialist Network, which includes a manipulated Liberal logo.
There is no place for racism in Australia. I am proud to stand with the Jewish community and Israel.”

The Zionist Federation of Australia commented: “These pamphlets are flagrantly antisemitic and designed to unnerve the Jewish community”.
President Jeremy Leibler said: “Jewish people, like all Australians, have a right to feel safe in their own homes, and not under siege from extremists who want to do us harm.
Over the last 18 months, ridiculous and hateful conspiracy theories have been spread about Australian Jews. It’s dangerous, and it must be rejected by all Australians.”

Naomi Levin, CEO of the JCCV said: “Joel Davis, the individual who has authorised this pamphlet, should not be on the streets. This is the same person who stood on the steps of Victoria’s Parliament House and incited violence against our community, who is on bail in South Australia for displaying a Nazi symbol and who told a magistrate he is trying to a register a neo-Nazi political party in Australia. The same person who told his social media followers that Jewish people are “sewer rats”, campaigns for more antisemitism and openly says he is “against Jews”.

This grotesque flyer is the latest in a string of dangerous and racist behaviour by Davis. This is not free speech. It is hate speech. Enough is enough.”

David Southwick, Shadow Minister for Police & Corrections and Member for Caulfield, posted on social media: “Enough is enough.

Overnight, neo-Nazi flyers were letterboxed across Caulfield — a community with one of the largest Jewish populations in the country. My staff arrived at work this morning to find one slipped under my office door.
This follows the defacement of Benson Saulo’s campaign corflutes with swastikas across the electorate — including at my own home.
Let me be crystal clear: this is not politics. This is hate. And it has no place in our community.
The Liberal Party is proud to stand with the Jewish community and with Israel. We will never back down in the face of antisemitism, and we will always act to ensure these cowards are not emboldened by inaction.
We will not be silent. We will not be intimidated. And we will always call this out for what it is.”
Multiple complaints have been registered with the police.

    Shocking. Flagrant. So extreme an act of antisemitism that it takes my breath away. What will be done about it?
