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.

Daniel Aghion KC

Pres­i­dent, Exec­u­tive Coun­cil of Aus­tralian Jew­ry
