[quote author=5A594E64495A4853525F3B0 link=1332061805/67#67 date=1333458966]The jews are not 'saturating' any place except their own, Israel. There is no dreaming of a o9rldwide Jewish 'caliphate', there is no killing of Jewish 'apostates' (ie peopl who ask questions), there is no embassy burning if you crack a Jewish joke or draw hook-nosed caricature. Jewish fathers and brothers do not murder their daughters if she goes out with a goy.
Apostate (noun) ... a person who forsakes his
religion, cause, party, etc.
Of course they don't do those things. They don't have to, they just create more laws to protect them and get involved in their host country's politics.
Intermarriage was historically looked upon with very strong disfavour by Jewish leaders, and it remains a controversial issue amongst Jewish leaders today. In the Talmud, interfaith marriage is completely prohibited
Jews continue to saturate Australian Politics and business.
Australian politics and the Jewish community
http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=3519From wiki...
The history of the Jews in Australia dates back to 1788, when a number of Jews were among the convicts brought to the country aboard the First Fleet to establish the first European settlement on the continent, on the site of present-day Sydney. Today, an estimated 120,000 Jews live in Australia. The majority are Ashkenazi Jews, many of them refugees and Holocaust survivors who arrived during and after World War II. There is also a significant Sephardic Jewish population.
Jews have been mayors of nearly all the capital cities of Australia, as well as of many smaller towns. Numerous Jews have sat in the State and Commonwealth parliaments; and, in proportion to the population, a large percentage have held ministerial portfolios. The first Jew appointed to the Colonial Parliament of New South Wales' Legislative Council in 1854 was prominent merchant,
Sir Saul Samuel
, who subsequently became a member of the Legislative Assembly and Treasurer and the first Jew to become a minister of the Crown.
Several Jews have served as State Governors and as Chief Justices of particular states.
Sir Julian Salomons
was Chief Justice of New South Wales for a fortnight in 1886; the position of Chief Justice of NSW was held by
James Spigelman
from 19 May 1998 until 31 May 2011.
Mahla Pearlman
was Chief Judge of the NSW Land and Environment Court from 1992 to 2003, and she was the first woman chief judge in any (State) jurisdiction in Australia.
Jews are especially prominent in the legal profession
; for example, in Melbourne alone,
the Hon. Michael Rozenes
sits as Chief Judge of the County Court of Victoria,
Justice Redlich
sits on the Court of Appeal, while
Justices Raymond Finkelstein, Alan Goldberg, Mark Weinberg and Ron Merkel
have all sat in recent years on the Federal Court of Australia.
In 1931,
Sir Isaac Isaacs
was appointed the first Australian born Governor-General, and was the first Jewish vice-regal representative in the British Empire.
Sir Zelman Cowen
also served as Governor-General, between 1977 and 1982.
Sir John Monash
, a distinguished Australian Lieutenant-General during World War I, leading Australian troops both in Gallipoli and on the Western Front. The agent-generalship of New South Wales has been administered by two Jews: Sir Saul Samuel, one of the most prominent and successful Jews in Australian politics, and
Sir Julian Salomons
.
David Bennett
is a Sydney barrister. He was president of the Australian Bar Association from 1995 to 1996 and of the NSW Bar Association from 1995 to 1997. Bennett was president of the Association of Lawyer Arbitrators and Mediates in 1998 and President of the Australian Academy of Forensic Sciences from 1999 to 2001. He was Solicitor-General of Australia from 1998 to 2008. Bennett was awarded the Centenary Medal in 2003. His wife,
Annabelle Bennett

Leo Port
(1922–1978) was an electrical and mechanical engineer. He was elected to the Sydney City Council in 1969 representing the Civic Reform group. He served as Lord Mayor between 1975 and 1978. Port was an advocate of civic design, and was partly responsible for the pedestrianisation of Martin Place and Sydney Square. He revolutionized the system of public works and their contracts in Sydney. He was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the New Year's Honours of 1974.
CommerceJews in Australia have been successful in business disproportionately to their percentage of the Australian population
. Notable for their success in business are
Sidney Myer, John Gandel, Richard Pratt, Peter Abeles, the Smorgon family, Marcus Besen, Eddie Kornhauser, Frank Lowy and Joseph Gutnick
. The latter, along with
Sydney gangster Abe Saffron
and
Rene Rivkin
occasionally through less scrupulous means.
The foremost among the Jews who have figured as business pioneers in Australia was
Jacob Montefiore
, a cousin of Sir Moses Montefiore. South Australian history records him as one of the founders of the colony; and he was selected by the British government to act on the first board of commissioners, appointed in 1835 to conduct its affairs. His portrait hangs in its National Gallery, and his memory is perpetuated by Montefiore Hill. J. B. Montefiore's activity was not confined to South Australia. With his brother
Joseph Montefiore
he gave an impetus to the progress of New South Wales. Jacob owned one of the largest sheep-runs in the colony, and founded and for many years acted as director of the Bank of Australasia. The close connection of these brothers with the colony is further evidenced by the township of Montefiore, which stands at the junction of the Bell and Macquarie Rivers in the Wellington valley. Joseph Montefiore was the first president of the first Jewish congregation formed in Sydney in 1832.
V. L. Solomon
of Adelaide is remembered for the useful work he achieved in exploring the vast northern territory of his colony, the interests of which he represented in Parliament.
M. V. Lazarus
of Bendigo, known as Bendigo Lazarus, also did much to open up new parts in the back country of Victoria.
Nathaniel Levi
, for many years urged the cultivation of beetroot for the production of sugar and spirits owed its brief existence as an industry to Levi's own interest in raw material for his distilling company. In his labours on behalf of this industry he published in 1870 a work of 250 pages on the value and adaptability of the sugar-beet. In Western Australia, the townships of Karridale and Boyanup owe their existence to the enterprise of
M. C. Davies
, a large lumber merchant.
Arts and culture
Barnett Levy
founded an early theatre in Australia. Having been refused a license by then governor Darling in 1828, though in the following year he was permitted to hold approved performances in his Sydney Hotel. A record of that fact is found in the following entry in "Sydney in 1848," a work published in that year: "In the late twenties His Excellency Sir R. Bourke granted Barnett Levy a license for dramatic performances, with a restriction that he should confine himself to the representation of such pieces only as had been licensed in England by the Lord Chamberlain." Levy was at that time the owner of the original Royal Hotel in George Street; and he fitted up the saloon of that establishment as a theatre, where the first representations of the legitimate drama in the colony were given. The encouragement that this undertaking received induced the enterprising proprietor to enlarge his sphere of action. He built a theatre called the Theatre Royal, which was opened in 1833, at a cost which almost bankrupted him.
Isaac Nathan
, who emigrated to Australia in 1841, wrote the first Australian opera, Don John of Austria to a libretto by Jacob Levi Montefiore. It premiered on 3 May 1847 at the Royal Victoria Theatre in Sydney.
There have been Jewish contributions to Australian visual arts.
[color=#ff0000]Georges Mora
[/color], born Gunter Morawski in 1913 in Leipzig, Germany of Jewish/Polish heritage, fled Germany to Paris in 1930, then to Melbourne in 1949. He established the Tolarno Gallery in Melbourne's bohemian St Kilda. This became a venue for exhibitions of Australian Modernist avant garde art. Printmaker and projection artist
Ludwig Hirschfeld Mack
graduate and professor of the Bauhaus was deported to Australia as an "enemy alien" on the ship HMT Dunera, spending time in internment camps in Hay, Orange and Tatura, before being sponsored for Australian citizenship by (Sir) James Darling, headmaster of Geelong Church of England Grammar School. He was influential in the introduction of Bauhaus principles into visual art and design curricula in Australia. E. P. Fox and Abbey Alston have achieved distinction. Paintings by both these artists have been hung in the Melbourne National Gallery. In the Adelaide Gallery hangs a tribute to the memory of
H. Abrahams
for the services he rendered to the progress of art in Australia. Two Jews of Australian birth have attained to some distinction as writers, S. Alexander and Joseph Jacobs.
