The series of anti-Semitic attacks that have shocked Sydney
Sydney has experienced several anti-Semitic attacks, mainly in Sydney's eastern suburbs where many Jewish people live, which have been met with widespread community outrage and a heavy police response.
What is going on in Sydney??
lol I remember when that guy threw up a Palestinian flag in his yard and someone left a bomb on his car, an actual act of terror and nobody gave a shit. Being a cunt to someone in Sydney cause of what another country is doing is all round fucking stupid tho.

Police say they're investigating whether some of these crimes were commissioned by "overseas actors": https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8057j0mz5mo
So that's interesting. It might go some way to explaining what seems like a sudden onset, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's also been driven by a copy-cat phenomenon.
That article is worth a post of its own for awareness, I reckon. That's not trivial.

Would probably usually post this sort thing to c/news, but posted in c/Australia seeing as two other articles on the matter were posted there.
There seems to be a global plague of political interference and stirring up divisions. I would like to know who it is, but we may never be told. I think it’s the wrong tactic from the Aus government, it would greatly diminish the actors power if it were made public.
Lol, graffiti. Didnt they get some terrorism task force involvement with the afp
What a beat up. Spraying angry messages, who cares. I guess people are unhappy with Israels actions

You’re welcome
Maybe if they stopped genociding people?
Conflating all Jewish people with Israel is fucked and is also a key propaganda tactic of Israel.
Zionism is not Judaism.
Zionists pretend to speak on behalf of all Jews, but never have [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Zionism#Early_Jewish_anti-Zionism] and certainly don't now - all the Palestinian rallies I've seen have a notable contingent of anti-Zionist Jews protesting alongside them. For an extreme example, you can find plenty of cases of Orthodox Jews burning flags of the Zionist State even decades before this conflict.
It's important not to confuse the Zionist Regime with the Jewish peoples of the world, just as one doesn't conflate neo-Nazis with all Europeans. Both the Zionist movement and anti-semites (esp. Nazis) intentionally try to push this false narrative for their own separatist goals, and it's important we recognise and counter it.

For what it's worth, here are two notable U.S.-based Jewish peace groups:
