Like all Australians, Jewish Australians have the right to fight back against those who smear us, boycott us, make lists about us and pledge to destroy us.

We have the right to stand up to journalists who put their politics and prejudice above professional responsibility.

We have the right to lodge complaints where we feel reporting falls short of a broadcaster’s own standards.

We have the right to denounce influencers incite against us and direct their followers to harass and threaten Jewish women.

Members of our community have the right to participate in Whatsapp groups formed in response to Lawyers for Palestine, Architects for Palestine, Teachers for Palestine and Creatives for Palestine.

We do so with pride and integrity for the good of our people and our society, and we will continue to do so.
