❤️🕎 Miriam Margolyes - as a Jewish Australian citizen - appealing to the Australian Jewish Community in Australia.
She appeals to fellow Jewish people in Australia to act for humanity and have the courage to speak up effectively despite of the manipulation and pressure from the aggressive long-embedded local pro-Israeli lobby organisations in the country, masking themselves as representing the community.
She is addressing the Jewish Council of Australia, a community of Jewish lawyers, academics and human rights advocates formed just this year to stand up to the well established, well connected corporate pro-Israeli operation in Australia orchestrating support for Israel no matter what.
They are acting at great personal risk and it is great to see Miriam’s support here.

A note on the Australian pro-Israeli Lobby and more info
The pro-Israeli lobby in Australia is one of the strongest and most embedded self-sustaining lobbies for Israel in the world. But the cracks are finally showing and it’s just horrible it took an event like October 7th to wake everyone up.
How have they done this over so many years?

=== Margoyles Address ====
Hello I'm Miriam Margolyes and I wanted to say something in support of the Jewish Council of Australia.
I'm an Australian citizen I'm 83 and I have never been so ashamed of Israel as I am at this moment.
To me it seems as if Hitler has won and he's changed us Jews from being compassionate and caring and do unto others as you would have them do unto you into this vicious genocidal nationalist nation pursuing and killing women and children.
OF COURSE I condemn the Hamas action of course I do, but what WE are doing as Jewish people over in Israel is SHOCKING EMBARRASSING and WICKED and I cannot understand why ALL Jewish people particularly members of Synagogues do not want immediately to stop what is going on.
And in the name of HUMANITY I call upon ALL Jews to shout beg scream for a ceasefire.
It is not anti-semitic to have a different opinion on the wartime actions now.
We have have to do as my mother used to say the right thing. The right thing is a ceasefire to stop the killing, certainly to beg and insist on the release of hostages.
But there is an opinion about Israel's actions which it is not anti-semitic to voice.
What Israel is doing is WRONG it is wicked. And if you want to say this is very bad for Israel.
Please call on your Rabbis on your communities, on all the people you know. Voice your disgust and detestation of the Israeli actions.
Please.
You are then doing the right thing and behaving in accordance with Jewish tradition.
Thank you
