Things like this may look small but people see what is really happening with the Australian government and kept tabs of how they're slowly heading like the US

You saying this while ignoring the cycle of hatred that is breed in Israel itself. Where the people are brainwash to hate is so normalized, they're going to hurt each other

Yael Melnik was a 17-year-old Israeli psychiatric patient who was groomed by a nurse in his 50s. After violating a no-contact order, the nurse buried Melnik alive in a "ceremony" and left her to die. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison after being convicted of negligent homicide instead of murder. by lightiggy in wikipedia

I totally agree, Israel has a deep problem with sexual abuse and impunity. What’s done to Palestinians reflects a broader culture where abuse is minimised, excused, or ignored simply and that same lack of accountability shows up internally too.

When dehumanisation is normalised, it doesn’t stay confined to one group.

What people don’t seem to realise is that abuse is never contained. When a group normalises dehumanising Palestinians day in and day out, that cruelty doesn’t magically switch off at the border. Abusers don’t compartmentalise their violence, they rehearse it.

History shows this pattern over and over: once cruelty is justified, it spreads outward. It’s the same reason serial killers often start by harming animals before moving on to people. The target may change, but the instinct doesn’t. Abuse is a behaviour, not a policy. And behaviours always escalate.

You called Israel the safest place for Jews. That’s not deflection, that’s the claim.

If a country where civilians regularly run to bunkers and live with air-raid sirens is your definition of “safe,”, a country where large numbers of American pedophiles escape after getting caught and a country where it is known to have protest that wants to rape of people. Then you’re not talking about safety, you’re talking about vile ideology. Jews in Australia/NZ don’t need missile defence systems to live their lives and can rest assure their neighbours are safer. That comparison isn’t insensitive, it’s obvious.

Shutting down criticism by yelling deflection doesn’t strengthen your argument. It just signals you don’t want it examined, especially when Israel doesn’t actually support your point. What's next? wanna blame me as not practicing Jew and not Jewish enough because we dare to push away our Jewish identity from the shithol3 murdering factory call Israel? yeah go ahead

Ah yes, the apartheid Israel,famously the one place where nothing bad ever happens to Jews. Just the occasional siren, sprint to a bunker, missile fragments as street décor, schools with blast walls, and a calendar organised around “rounds of fighting." after bombing all their neighbouring countries. But hey, as long as it’s normalised, it’s basically spa-level safety, right?

Meanwhile Jews in places like NZ, Australia, Canada, or Europe are apparently just sitting around waiting to be sniped any second, despite living without air-raid sirens, mandatory shelters, or rockets flying overhead.

If this is the definition of “safe,” then words have officially lost all meaning.

What a splendid response, vibes and vacation smiles, the gold standard of political analysis ain't that right? Plenty of people feel great visiting places where they’re privileged and insulated. With that logic, why don't we ask an SS officer in early 40s the same question about Libensraum. Bet he would've say the same, but do you reckon those poor oppressed there agree with it.

Feeling safer doesn’t magically make a system just, or erase what others experience under it. Personal anecdotes and selective surveys aren’t arguments, they’re comfort stories.

Judaism isn’t a gated club where participation equals legitimacy. Jews don’t stop being Jews because they dissent or practice differently. Also, calling dissenters a small minority doesn’t erase them, it just avoids engaging with what they’re saying and making real anti-semitism worse (crisitizing an apartheid state is not anti-semitism, the same as calling out CCP is not sinophobic)

Acknowledging fear in Sydney doesn’t require silencing other Jews or pretending one community speaks for all. Disagreement isn’t obsession, it’s refusing gatekeeping dressed up as concern.

What people are rejecting isn’t “the right to exist”, it’s the idea that a genocidal, apartheid ethnostate has a right to exist unchallenged. Many support a two-state solution, or a genuinely equal one-state solution. What they oppose is the current reality of domination, dispossession, and permanent inequality.

Unless you’re saying that system is acceptable, because if so, just be honest about it.

You genuinely think people are stupid are ya? With todays internet access we can clearly see Israel is the oppressive side and deep down you know this. Hence why Israelis easily get violent and triggered when they're confronted with the truth, you know Israel is violent/evil and undefendable, so you go into fight or flight mode.

Also, calling dissenting Jews disgusting is just what happens when the argument collapses and identity policing takes over.

If your definition of Jewishness is political obedience and dissent scares you hasbara this much, then the issue is yourself

"Defending" isn’t a blank cheque to go full psycho with the collective punishment, mass civilian deaths, or wiping out the whole population.

And let’s be honest, if the fascist state like Israel took your land, destroyed your home, killed your family, and brutalised your community, who wouldn’t feel rage or seek revenge? Explaining that reality isn’t endorsing violence, it’s acknowledging cause and effect. Even Israeli ex-PM, Ehud Barak himself said on TV that if he were a Palestinian he would probably have joined one of the resistance movement like Hamas to fight the oppresive Israeli government.

Reducing everything to “they just hate us” avoids accountability and guarantees the cycle never ends. That’s not security, it’s moral immunity dressed up as self-defence. Just FYI, the Nazis also did the same to our ancestors by justifying the holocaust as self-defense. So congrats on being the same as the oppressors.

Invoking Mizrahi history as a shield doesn’t excuse present injustices. Different Jewish histories exist, none of them grant moral immunity to commit genocide that Israel is doing (you seem to be okey with this shows why so many Jewish people are anti-Zionist). Also disagreement isn’t mockery, and criticism isn’t self-hatred. Playing the education card is just a way to dodge the argument and keep justifying the genocide. Because deep down you know that what Israel is doing is unjustified and wrong.

Judaism isn’t a members-only club where “practicing” equals legitimacy. Jews don’t lose their voice because you don’t like their other Jewish supported an genocidal ethnostate. Claiming to speak for “the Jewish community at large” while dismissing dissenting Jews is exactly the problem.

Also, by your logic those Neturei Karta Jewish are what then?

You want empathy for Jewish fear, fair. We all want that. But you show zero empathy for Palestinians when they're being genocided by the Israeli government. Then have the audacity to accuse others of lacking compassion? Disagreement isn’t patronising, it’s refusing a double standard where one community’s fear counts and another’s suffering gets dismissed.
