Antisemitism Report 2009 - World Jewish Congress

testament says god gave the Jews the land. Anyone who takes the old testament literally is
someone we cannot even argue with as they dont use reason. But that is what we are dealing
with and we need to accept it instead of trying to use reason to change it – it‘s akin to
arguing with a dog.‖
* In response to an article about Israeli politics in The Australian which was published on its
website (9/4/09), a series of offensive comments was published, including Nazi-Israel
analogies, claims Jews thought of themselves as ―masters‖ and implications Israel is
genocidal. (9/4/09).
* On The Australian newspaper‘s letters blog, Faruque Ahmed wrote ―Israeli democracy is
similar to Nazi democracy. Zionism is older and worse than Nazism. Yet, someone who is
fond of Zionism like Sheridan must be perverted at the least. The good people of Australia
have rejected Greg Sheridan‘s spin ―Boycott is a triumph of principle‖ as evidenced in this
thread. His pro-Israeli stance is beyond belief.‖ (6/5/09).
* On the ABC Unleashed blog, ―We Love Ha Ha‖ wrote ―Palestine the largest
Concentration Camp on Earth . . . American and Australian and other friends and Allies will
provide Guns, Planes, Jeeps, Bullets and Bombs to keep Concentration Camp perimeter
Secure and Sub Human Palestinians detained and without Hope. Nothing changing Anytime
Soon.. Situation Normal. All going according to plan..‖ (28/5/09).
* On The Australian letters blog, following an article by academic Merv Bendle on history
teaching, ―Gidgee of Brisbane‖ wrote ―Mervyn Bendle is in the pocket of Judaism in this
regurgitation of the frightful war in Europe which lasted from 1939 until Germany‘s defeat
and occupation by the Allies in 1945. Bendle‘s attempt to align the suffering of the
adherents of the Jewish religion in Europe at that time is no more than a well-orchestrated
part of a concerted attempt, by Jewry, to take the heat off the recent barbarity and murderous
conduct of the 1948-created state of Israel in its dealings with those Palestinians it, Jewry,
has so ruthlessly ousted from their homeland and, shamefully, placed (the pitiful Palestinian
natives) behind that abomination of a wall to confine them and thereby set the Gazans up as
sitting ducks for Jewish armed killing incursions. To think that Bendle is entrusted with the
important job of teaching our up-and-coming should be cause for very serious concern here
in Australia. The much-hated Nazis did their awful thing over sixty years ago – they of that
ilk have gone the way of all flesh but Israel, right now in time, with the engineered
distractions aired by the likes of toadying Bendle, continues the maniacal latter-day style of
Nazism snubbing its Jewish nose at what passes for civilisation. The cleverness of this
Jewish agenda, thankfully, is waning but we still have cat‘s paws, like Bendle, doing their
utmost to derail a proper and fair resolution to what‘s been going on in the Middle East ever
since the ‘39 – ‘45 war ended; a human slaughtering and imprisoning madness which kicked
off with the Jewish terrorist mob called The Stern Gang and still, ruthlessly, going on even
as I write these lines.‖ (1/6/09).
* In a letter in The Canberra Times (29/6/09), Roy Darling of Florey wrote ―According to
Israel‘s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the need for ―natural growth‖ justifies more
Israeli settlements in Palestine (―France calls for freeze in West Bank‖, June 26, p10). This
thin argument sounds eerily like the specious Nazi claims for German ―Lebensraum‖ that
were then followed by military takeover of lands outside Germany.‖
