“Feed them to the Arabs!”: How the AJN Sells Ads
Jun 24th, 2009 by Syd Walker

Australian Jewish News Vox Pop

Another mixed week in Australia's news for Jews - but bullying anti-Zionists is a constant

Does the Australian Jewish News need to promote bigotry and paranoia to sell advertising? Or does it just like promoting bigotry and paranoia with the Jewish community – along with very curious standards for Australian citizenship?

The video below is not quite up to Max Blumenthal‘s standards. Even so, it gives viewers some insight into the mentality of Jewish Zionists within Australia. The question posed, to a selection of Jews in Australia, was: “What would you say to Jews who dont believe Israel should exist?

Responses include:

  • You are traitors
  • I would feed you to the Arabs
  • You should be ashamed of youselves
  • You’re disgusting
  • You are a disgrace to our religion
  • It’s very important for Jews to have a place where we feel welcome and not being persecuted
  • Israel’s being is the…. most important thing for all the Jewish communities around the world

A few questions…

Does the woman with a strong Australian accent, who believes anti-Zionist Jews are ‘traitors’, consider them traitors to Australia – or to Israel? What does she mean by “feed them to the Arabs?” Does she consider Arabs carnivorous beasts? Is that a suitable stereotype to use to sell advertising space in a prominent newspaper such as the AJN?

Does the young woman, with an American accident, really feel persecuted in north America, Australia etc? If so, on what basis?

The man with an Israeli accent is entitled to hold the opinion that Israel’s existence should be the most important thing around the world for Jewish communities. But if he’s correct, why should soceities such as Australia tolerate organized political lobbying and networking by a significant proportion of the population whose primary focus and loyalty is (apparently) to a foreign country?

States are for citizens – not for extended clans – and should uphold individual human rights, not tribal loyalties.

The Australian Jewish News is entitled to promote bigoty and paranoia – but the rest of us are entitled to point out this malicious, sectarian, war-mongering presence in our midst – and the mischief caused by its manic pursuit of a tribalistic agenda.
