#34 - Part 6
Israel / HaMas Conflict - The Australian Perspective - Part 6
>>20389026 Leaders and business savage Australia's rising anti-Semitism - Widespread anti-Semitic attacks on sMall, medium and large Jewish-linked firms have been savaged by prominent Australians and the peak business body as authorities assess evidence of offences after the October 7 atrocities. Government agencies and police face pressure to deal with a wave of attacks against Jewish businesses that also include a heavy focus on vulnerable sMaller enterprises.
>>20389031 'This isn't advocacy': Social posts on distant conflict tear at close community - It was a little over a week ago that Maggie May Moshe decided that Melbourne's Thornbury no longer felt like a safe place for Jews. She was standing amid High Street's rumbling clatter in tears, furiously scraping at anti-Israeli stickers someone had plastered on the windows of the gift shop she'd owned and run with her husband Joshua for the past seven years. A passing young woMan stopped to watch what she was doing. "You should leave them up," the woMan said. "Unless you support genocide, you shouldn't take them down."
>>20389043 Australian professor Ghassan Hage sacked by GerMan research institute for 'incompatible values' - A renowned GerMan research institute has sacked an Australian scholar for what it called "incompatible values" after a series of anti-Israel social media posts by the visiting Melbourne University professor. On Thursday, the Max Planck Society, funded by the country's federal and state governments, said it had cut ties with professor Ghassan Hage. "Recently, he (Professor Hage) has shared a series of posts on social media expressing views that are incompatible with the core values of the Max Planck Society. The Max Planck Society has therefore ended its working relationship with Prof Hage. The freedoms enshrined in (the GerMan constitution) are invaluable to the Max Planck Society."
>>20405618 Federal government moves to criminalise 'doxxing' after publication of Jewish Australians' WhatsApp messages - The federal government will move to criminalise "doxxing" after the details of a WhatsApp group involving hundreds of Jewish Australians were published online. The government said the legislation, aimed at outlawing the practice of publishing personal details with Malicious intent, would be brought to parliament as soon as possible.
>>20417036 The faces of a hideous hatred that has no place in our country - A social-justice warrior who urged people to "let Zionists know no f.cking peace", an artist who called them "genocidal racists", and a children's author who praised terrorist organisations are the anti-Israel activists who helped disseminate the details of hundreds of Jewish Australians across the internet. The Australian can reveal that Elsa Tuet-Rosenberg, Zee Mazloum and Matt Chun, whose real name is Matt Jones, were prolific sharers of the leaked personal details of Jewish creatives from a WhatsApp group, which led to Anthony Albanese moving to ban the online form of harassment.
>>20417056 City of Melbourne to debate Israel-HaMas ceasefire motion - Melbourne City Council will vote on a motion calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-HaMas war. Independent councillor JaMal Hakim has proposed the council back a motion asking the federal government to advocate for a list of seven deMands. They include a perManent ceasefire, the release of all Israeli hostages and imprisoned Palestinians, and to advocate for "an end to illegal Israeli settlements and the illegal occupation of Palestinian territories".
>>20434098 Doxxers on notice they will face jail time under new laws - Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has signalled new anti-doxxing laws will be aimed at criminalising the disclosure of a broad range of personal inforMation for Malicious intent, putting activists and others on notice that they could face jail time for leaking private details without consent. The federal government plans, announced last week in response to the publication of the names and details of hundreds of Jewish creatives and academics by pro-Palestinian activists, has sparked a debate about what constitutes doxxing and how best to use the law to protect individuals' privacy and safety, while balancing free speech and public interest considerations.

Susanne Newton, the Greens Mayor of the Darebin Council, which takes in Thornbury and which flies the Palestinian flag from the town hall in support of those suffering in Gaza, said she was shocked and appalled by the targeting of a local family business.
"I strongly condemn this behaviour," she said. "I know Maggie May and Josh personally, and they are an essential part of our community."
The leaked transcript shows that some members of the WhatsApp group engaged in a rolling critique of the media coverage of the Gaza conflict and raised objections with newspaper editors, publishing houses and the chair of the ABC - about writers and broadcasters who they thought were inflaming antisemitic sentiment.
One of broadcasters they objected to was Antoinette Lattouf, who is currently suing the ABC for unlawful dismissal.
Ramona Koval, a former ABC journalist who worked at the national broadcaster for 30 years and was a staff-elected member of the ABC board, said the group had no inside line to decision-Makers and used the same forMal avenues of complaint open to everyone.
Now a 69-year-old "elder" within literary and Jewish communities who mostly writes from home, Koval joined the WhatsApp group at the invitation of her friend who was one of its administrators.
"The WhatsApp group was a support group especially for those who began to see threats to their careers from activists organising against them," Koval explained.
"The group evolved into a support group, an inforMation sharing group, a group that sought and offered advice for those who were being targeted and suggested perfected legal, norMal and well-used ways of legitiMately complaining to media groups and other forMal organisations about Matters they thought were unfair or discriminatory."
Other Jewish people who were members of the group but took little part in its discussions are appalled at the public shaming on those in the WhatsApp group.
As one put it: "No one is out on the streets, no one is shutting down docks. If the harshest thing we do is write letters, that is hardly bringing democracy to its knees. If Jewish people can't kvetch online, where have we come to in life?"

'This isn't advocacy': Social posts on distant conflict tear at close community
Chip Le Grand - FEBRUARY 10, 2024

It was a little over a week ago that Maggie May Moshe decided that Melbourne's Thornbury no longer felt like a safe place for Jews.
She was standing amid High Street's rumbling clatter in tears, furiously scraping at anti-Israeli stickers someone had plastered on the windows of the gift shop she'd owned and run with her husband Joshua for the past seven years.
A passing young woMan stopped to watch what she was doing. "You should leave them up," the woMan said. "Unless you support genocide, you shouldn't take them down."
Maggie May is identifiably Jewish. Although she is still converting to her adopted faith, she wears a style of headscarf that denotes an orthodox, Married woMan. And here she was, on the Main street of an uber-hip, inner-north suburb of Melbourne, being told to leave in place stickers that carry a Ghostbuster-style cross through the Star of David.
Otherwise, she would be condoning a horrific war in Gaza, which, according to the latest estiMates, has killed nearly 28,000 people.
Before they arrived at the shop that morning, Maggie May and Joshua Moshe, a professional musician, already felt as though the ground was crumbling beneath their feet. Their personal and store Instagram feeds were inundated with abusive posts. Josh had been dumped from the band he'd played with for the best part of a decade. On the mobile phone attached to the store, an unidentified woMan had left the following voice Mail: "You racist motherf-ckers better keep watching your motherf-ckin' back y'all. All us… know where you are now motherf-cker."
The same caller also left an SMS: an iMage of their four-year-old son.
The Moshes have decided to close their business and shift it to a part of Melbourne where more Jewish people live.
"I'm devastated I can't be in this community any more," Maggie May says. "I care deeply about people who live near our shop and supported our shop. It is a real shame that has been destroyed by this antisemitism and unkindness. I worked almost every day for seven years on that business, and I don't really know what I am left with now."
Across urbane, progressive enclaves of Melbourne and Sydney hundreds of people who work in the media, music, the arts and academia, are today experiencing some of what the Moshe family has been through.
They are members of a WhatsApp group created to give Jewish writers, artists, musicians and intellectuals a private space to talk about October 7 and the war in Gaza.
Joshua Moshe was a member and occasional contributor to the group which would discuss their concern about rising intolerance for Jews in their workplaces, schools and broader social circles and - what they could do about that. It is this last aspect, including talk of writing to employers of people with strong public pro-Palestinian positions that has stoked particular controversy.
Joshua, Maggie May and their family business were targeted after a transcript from the chat group, which had swollen to more than 600 members, was leaked to pro-Palestinian activists.
Comments that Joshua Made were republished on social media, along with the name of his wife - described by an activist who has never met her as a "raging Zio" - and social media links to their business and Joshua's band.
This is known as doxxing, a form of online attack which exposes the identities and workplaces of people who would otherwise be anonymous.
