Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies president Jason Steinberg said the protest made Jewish people feel less safe in Brisbane.

“The events of last night really have reached a new low in terms of antisemitism in Queensland,” he said.

“What we saw was a rabid mob intimidating Jewish people in a way that we have not seen before in Queensland – and it’s unacceptable.”

If you feel targeted by this, then maybe stop being a Zionist...

“This was a Jewish event. They attacked a Jewish event, and therefore it’s antisemitic,” he said.

They werent "attacked", they were boycotted. And they werent boycotted because they are jewish, but because they are Zionists.

Absolutely disgusting reporting of this came out of the Murdoch press, who just completely ignored the fact that the organisation being protested was explicitly zionist (as in, it's literally in their name). They just whinged about a "rabid mob intimidating Jewish people" celebrating their holiday. And the rhetoric from our Lord Mayor has been equally deplorable.

Well done to these workers and to all those who supported them.

Good on you for sharing the wage fund.

Can we standardise around the original URL in the post field and archives in the body? Doing it that way helps Lemmy's auto-detection of cross-posts (including incidental cross-posts) work.

Is Magan-djin another/new/better ortogtaphy for Meanjin or is it a different thing?

The article just says it was a "White Shavuot Party" which just seems to be a Jewish tradition, does anyone have any evidence that it was a pro Israeli event?

Hell yeah!
