We strive to work in solidarity with First Nations peoples to achieve decolonisation of the lands and systems we inhabit, on Kulin lands and waters and beyond.
We are proudly anti-Zionist and are honoured to work in solidarity with Palestinians in their struggle for liberation.
The Loud Jew Collective was grateful to stand on the streets alongside kin, friends and comrades on Sunday, making clear our collective solidarity with Gaza, Palestine, migrants, and First Nations people, and our opposition to the fascists who took to the streets.
Over recent days, we have seen another frenzy being whipped up against antisemitism, as a vile attack on a synagogue is used to fabricate connections and stories about antisemitism in other places. Politicians, the media, Jewish community spokespeople, people on the street, are all getting into a panic. This panic - like other social panics - is leading to calls for further repression, securitisation, control, and, in the end, further racism.
The firebombing of the Adass Israel synagogue is clearly an antisemitic and racist attack, arising out of a society that regularly perpetrates racial violence. We send solidarity to everyone facing racism, in all its many forms. It remains unacceptable, and remains our obligation to fight it wherever and whenever it occurs.
Shame on the synagogues in Melbourne who are hosting these hateful events. We reject any Jewishness that supports genocide. Solidarity with Palestine, from the river to the sea!
