Whats this note about?
I'm also unfortunately a bit suss about what the graffiti actually said,
referenced the deaths of Jewish people.
isn't really enough evidence for me anymore, due to the term anti-semitism being launched at even the smallest amount of critiscim of the Government and State of Israel.
Yeah it's sad, because antisemitism absolutely is a real thing and it should be stamped out. But at this point I've becoming primed to assume any accusation of antisemitism is actually a lie attempting to cover up criticism Israel's war crimes and genocide.
I can't find the post at the moment, but allegedly some Jews stuck a "go home Muslim girl" style note on a Somali woman's door, but most of the details lacked credibility, like claiming that it was in a northern Jewish suburb, that might've been Kew. Kew is in the East, afaik there's no Jew-ey area in Melbourne's North.
It really annoys me when the pro-genocide people put up the Australian flag as well. Why do they do it? Are they trying to say that Australia is allied with Israel, thus Australians should support it? As of late at least it looks like foreign policy is moving towards maybe not very happy about it perhaps.
