Damien Ridgewell - a protestor together with a handful of other rabble rousers called for NSW Premier Chris Minns to light up the Opera House in the colours of the Palestinian flag.
If this protestor wanted peace - why not advocate for an Israeli and Palestinian flag with an olive branch .
The reason why - is because these protestors are looking for the destruction of Israel and the obliteration of Jews from the Middle East ! - “from the river to the sea!!! “
Simone Abel a representative of a Jewish group said
"Our community is deeply relieved, We have endured over 1,178 pro-Palestine protests ... you have not seen our community out in droves shouting, protesting, intimidating, creating fear amongst the public."
These Palestinian protestors are creating disharmony in our amazing multicultural society where all views and races should be tolerated and should feel safe.
I do not believe we as Australian citizens have to feel ostracized for our views and beliefs whatever they are …. As long as they respect their neighbour and recognise their rights to exist!
I am a proud Jew
I am a proud Zionist
And I am a fiercely proud Australian
Here is an article written by my Daughter on October 8 ….. who predicted this horrible war and series of events. I relate to this and could not articulate my feelings better .

Let us all pray in Australia - together - for a peaceful solution in the Middle East and any other part of the war where there is conflict…..
Let us be a showcase to the world - where people with different views and religions and cultures can live together in peace and harmony.
Let us be proud of being Australian - for ourselves - our children and our children’s children
