God work all round, Anthony. There's so much big-brotherishness in the country at the moment (I blame the TV show… and the Daily Telegraph) with people being called un-Australian or muslims being called extremists. Everyone is watching what they say in case its not in-step with the crowd, or they are nailed to the media crucifix quick-smart. Its good to see your group getting coverage. I believe every group should have its own internal critics as part of its organisational system – i.e. We should have un-Australians working for Australia, etc. Criticism sucks and everything, but it is also very constructive as a way of improving mistakes or faults in something. Something like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would go a lot further if either side could admit that they had made mistakes and sought to ammend those mistakes.
Keep up the good work, you have the support of this Anglo-Celtic, Catholic Un-Australian!
(Oh no, I've just supported criticism of Israel and I'm goyim! Am I a wanna-be self hating Jew under all this?!)

You hit the nail on the head Art,

Anti-Semitism was a term used to describe those who had a hatred of Jews. Today it is used by some Zionists to describe those that they themselves hate.

I can understand someone who being called anti-semite if he/she is hate Jews. But I cannot understand why one would be called anti-semite just because some jews hate him/her ??

Given the logic of those who have described your new association in less than complimentary terms I assume they would also have to conclude that the Prophet Jeremiah is to be labelled a self hating Jew as well.

Challenging people to go out of thier comfort zone is not the easiest task. i think people in both sides of this tragic conflict need to listen to what you are saying. and it is long overdue for politians and opinion makers here and in midd east to show leadership.

It's quite remarkable to see the poor Zionist extremists reaching so desperately to accuse your group of denying Israel's existence, even when this motto is made so blatantly obvious.

The next thing they'll be doing is labelling you as self hating Jews and Holocaust denial.

These poor souls are out at sea once you take away these cliche'd attacks.

Particularly revealing though is how Zionist often criticize Muslim countries for issuing death threats against those who criticize them, yet here we have Peter Slezak, receiving one from a Zionist.
