Absolutley shameful. If it weren’t so serious, it would be a comedy. But the testimony included here about the shock of University after Jewish school is very revealing, and should be seen as evidence of the dangers of insulating students from the reality of the world. Jewish only schools (like most private schools) and surrounding social infrastructure clearly fail to prepare their students for a broader world of political disagreement, instead teaching them that any challenge to their world view is tantamount to violence. Anything to keep the Zionist indoctrination at full bore I guess.
I went to a Jewish school - a long time ago but I don't think anything's changed since - and yes, it was totally insular. There was no participation in non-Jewish life or society. I'm pretty clear that Zionists don't really view Australia as important in their lives, other than its being a place to prosper. After the Bondi massacre, people there sang the Australian national anthem, the response to which at the end of it was pretty muted. When they finished singing the Israeli national anthem they all cheered. There's no doubt in my mind that that's indicative of the insularity within the Zionist community. Singing the Australian national anthem just seemed performative to me.
Nothing, in any of those extracts from the RC, could possibly be construed as anti Semitic but those "witnesses" - and I use the term loosely - have such a closed cultural mindset that they feel threatened by any critique of their spiritual homeland. They're fighting tooth and nail to force civil society to adopt that mindset.
The statements sound like desperate jokes. The commission and absolute farcical.waste of tax payers money. It's also reassuring for the Palestinian movement. Because they have nothing of any substance to say. Desperate act really
Poor old 'AAF' manages to contradict themselves - and give the game away - in the space of two sentences. "And it’s not normally anything specifically antisemitic ... but they don’t like Israel and they’re anti-Zionist, which in my mind ... that is anti-semitism"

Oh god help us, a Palestinian bake sale! None of us is safe!

What a parade of duplicity!
