Jewish voters are still choosing Democrats. The DNC’s new council suggests the party is less sure they still feel at home there.

"The simple fact is that Israeli actions endanger all of us, including Jews. Because what Israel is doing claims to in our name, in my name. And believe me when I say it is not in my name." Thank you to advisory committee member, @antloewenstein for speaking out against Herzog at last night's rally

Australia must respond to Israel’s apartheid death penalty with sanctions.The Jewish Council of Australia expresses its abhorrence at the Israeli government's new apartheid execution policy and the extremist ideology that fuels it.The new death penalty law, which will apply automatically and without any means of appeal, has been deliberately crafted to only ever be imposed on Palestinian detainees. This law did not come out of nowhere. Albeit extreme, this law is just a new instance of Israel's apartheid regime, where separate laws for separate nationalities have existed since Israel's creation. It codifies Israel's long-standing practices of routine assassination, extra-judicial executions and enabling settler violence against Palestinians. This law reflects an extremist radicalisation that has become normalised in Israel, where Palestinian life is perceived not just as having lesser value - but no value at all. The death penalty legislation puts to an end any facade that the Israeli state has any respect for the ethics of Judaism, which stresses the sanctity of life, mercy and opposition to capital punishment.It is the result of years of impunity Israel has enjoyed from the international community, including the Australian Government. Strong words and a narrow sanctions regime will not cut it. The Australian Government must apply broad-based sanctions on Israel.Australia led the world in sanctioning the Apartheid regime in South Africa in the 1970s and 1980s. We call for that same approach to be taken to end Israeli apartheid today.

A message from Jewish Australians: Israeli President Isaac Herzog does not speak for us. We reject his war and his genocide. He is not welcome here. We refuse to let our grief for the Bondi massacre be used to legitimise a leader who has played an active role in the ongoing destruction of Gaza, including the murder of tens of thousands of Palestinians, and the displacement of millions.President Herzog’s public statements, including that “an entire nation … is responsible”, have been cited by numerous international bodies as evidence of Israel’s genocidal intent and direct and public incitement to commit genocide.Welcoming an alleged war criminal in the aftermath of the Bondi massacre betrays Jewish communities, multicultural Australia and everyone who stands for Palestinian human rights and international law.Credit: @getup_australia and @jewishcouncil

New research released by Jewish Council advisory committee members, Dr. Leia Greenslade and Professor Linda Briskman shows that many Australian Jews oppose the State of Israel’s actions because of their deep connection to the Jewish values of social justice and human rights. Read the research at the link in our bio and take action today by making a submission to the Royal Commission (our guide for making a submission is also available at the link our bio)
