Last week one synagogue in Melbourne was burnt down. By whom we do not know. Nor do we know the reason. Israel has flattened 814 mosques, another 148 damaged, 3 churches were also destroyed, and 19 of 60 cemeteries deliberately targeted by the IDF, says Ministry of Religious Affairs in Gaza. Israeli government ministers have given the reason: extermination and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza. Why? To make way for Israeli settlers. Here is a view from a Catholic Worker, Jim Dowling. Ian Curr, Ed., 13 Dec 2024.

While we should strongly condemn the burning of a synagogue in Australia, the mind-blowing hypocrisy of the mass media, Peter Dutton and others, is hard to stomach. Peter Dutton has loudly supported not just the burning of mosques, but the burning of children in their thousands in Israel’s genocidal war. Albanese has not been much better.
The burning of children continues, day after day.
All who do not condemn this are surely terrorists themselves.
