It isn't the main issue, but it does seem a proportion of anti-Israel activism is linked to mental illness.
The senator you mention was kicked out of her party for starting a fight in a strip club, not something healthy professional middle aged women do. Professor David Miller and lots of his ilk have a level of paranoia that are close to what you would expect from a paranoid schizophrenic.
Look up Esther Abrahams, "Lady Penrhyn", from the First Fleet. Jewish presence seems reasonably well documented, albeit Jews had an ~irrelevant presence over first few decades. Think first synagogue was in 1840s
weird that you didn't include the antisemitic campaign to have monash removed from his post led by keith murdoch (yes that keith murdoch) and charles edwin bean (yes that charles edwin bean). i'm guessing that the racist right at quadrant wouldn't have stood for the denigration of those good anglo aussie boys. australia was founded on racism and from the hands off approach to nazis in melbourne to the silence on ethnic cleansing occurring in Gaza, it remains
It can only be used as “join together, merge” when it’s something like two vowel sounds becoming one because one is dropped. It’s specifically a joining by deletion. It can’t be used in the way you’re using it.
Beautiful, Misha.
Much love in these troubled times.
Thank you for writing this Misha.
Brilliant.

“The first real Jews arrived in Australia as convicts on the First Fleet in 1788.” Prove it?

One (1) Jewish convict out of 1400 people on the first fleet? Is that meant to be remarkable?
