אדם שהתחפש לספיידרמן הצדיע במועל יד נאצי לעבר צעיר יהודי בסידני

Statement from Australian Jewish Association President Robert Gregory after anti-One Nation protesters racially abuse young Jewish man "A young Jewish man being confronted with Nazi salutes while walking home through central Sydney is a disgrace. The people responsible are clearly trying to provoke and intimidate. It reflects the growing brazenness of antisemites who feel increasingly comfortable displaying their hatred in public. AJA has consistently defended freedom of expression but defending free speech does not mean tolerating harassment or intimidation. Jewish Australians should be able to walk through the centre of Sydney without being targeted by thugs glorifying Nazism. These self-righteous protesters took to the streets to denounce Pauline Hanson and lecture Australians about racism and bigotry. Yet individuals pictured attending the protests appear to have spotted a young Jewish man on their way home and have subjected him to racist harassment and Nazi salutes. They see racism everywhere, routinely smearing the right and anyone they disagree with as bigots. Yet the most blatant racism reported that day appears to have come from within their own ranks. The hypocrisy is staggering. Jewish Australians should not have to fear harassment from people marching under the banner of anti-racism. We call on the protest organisers to unequivocally condemn this disgraceful incident and make clear that antisemitism has no place in their movement. Students should be in school, not harassing Jewish Australians on the streets of Sydney.”
