Every cultural or religious group has its self-hating leftists who have no issue with lying to push a cause.

An example is the full page ad this group took out over the last few days claiming over 1000 Jews in Australia oppose Israeli President Isaac Herzog visiting Australia.

However, they have been caught out.

Many people listed have said thay never signed up to anything. Worse? Some of the names are of deceased individuals. Then there are the fake names, one example being an offensive phrase in Hebrew passed off as a name.

Shame on them and shame on the leftist newspapers who published it.

A paid advertisement opposing Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s state visit to Australia has come under scrutiny with doubts raised about the accuracy and consent of some Jewish signatories.

The full-page open letter, organised by the Jewish Council of Australia, appeared in The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age on Monday. It purportedly included about 700 signatures from more than 1000 Australian Jews who signed an online petition against Herzog’s contentious visit. The letter said Herzog was “not welcome”, and hosting him during the war in Gaza “betrays Jewish communities, multicultural Australia and everyone who stands for Palestinian human

Within hours of the ad’s publication, several signatories who appeared on the list claimed they never gave permission for their names to be included. Others claimed the list included an offensive phrase in Hebrew, as well as the names of dead people who were “kapos” – Jewish inmates forced by the Nazis to serve as “stand-in” guards in concentration camps during the Holocaust.

In response, the council said some “offensive and obscure historical references” and false names had “slipped through the cracks”, but they represented a “handful” of the hundreds of signatories.
