Grant,

You have to join the library to borrow it. You can’t just read it.

J-Wire has your email address. I can ask them to send the PDF I have to you

You have a computer, what’s your issue with searching as I have just done?

“”If the administration was against allowing in Jews, its guilt was eased by the great number of Australian Jews,
who were scared of a flood of European Jews. The Jewish Welfare Society was proud that it had had the full trust
of the leadership which in fact banned the immigration of Jewish refugees.”””

I can’t get to page 129 but whatever it is your still clinging to the multicultural dream like the lemmings in Europe who are now finding that they can’t be Jews in Europe anymore as its become so enriched. I have my own oral histories about being Jewish in Australia passed down to me that are in direct CONTRADICTION to the baseless generalisations made by Isi.

Who? Isi’s ideas opinions? You think they are the truth? His ideas are for lemmings and more left wing rubbish with some lies. I refuted them below I cant see anything by Dr Berger that supports the nonsense Isi wrote.

I was as astounded as you a few years on being confronted with this information

Start with THE JEWISH REFUGEES IN AUSTRALIA BY DR. D. BERGER

I have plenty of information on this, unfortunately this web site doesn’t allow for attachments, and they are all on PDF format

Thats the exact opposite of what it was. Antisemitism never meant much in Australia. We had governors and our general in WW1 as leaders from the Jewish religion. The white Australia policy is a 19th century construct that was implemented to maintain working class wages and conditions. yes it was racist as the other races would have worked for less! He then rambles on about the wonders of multiculturalism. Well multiculturalism saw Australia recently abandon Israel at the UN thanks to the ALP and its ridiculous fright that muslims from western sydney ( brought in under multiculturalism thanks to the likes of Isi) won’t vote the socialist ALP anymore. Kind of makes his statement that muslim immigrant influence is limited the kind of dreamy whimisical nonsense the rest of his generalisations of Australia are. Nice own goal with multiculturalism there Isi, for you and the rest of us.
