The Jewish people I know and follow on social media were indoctrinated from a very early age, and are now deprogramming. Certainly not all, but the Jewish people I know and follow.

That is good news. I have Jewish friends who still maintain the denial and others who were horrified 30 years ago and rejected the Zionist State.

Without the support of Judaism and Jews Israel cannot do what it does and that is why it is Jews who must take a major responsibility for the horror they have helped to create.

Lots of Jewish people are, Roslyn.

That is indeed good news, some of the best news for resolution of this colonial horror.

I wish the USA and its allies would stop funding and arming Israel, and providing it with diplomatic cover.

That is the hardest thing to change. How does the US, and who would instigate it, cleanse out the Zionist, Israeli, Jewish individuals who make up almost half, at times a majority of political, Presidential and Government staff, without it being seen as a purge of Jews? The US does need a purge of Jews who are over-represented in its political system and Government but how does that happen?

If Muslims or Hindus were represented at the same level as Jews there would be outrage, particularly if it was clear that they were serving the interests of a foreign entity and not the interests of Americans or their nation. But of course, such over-representation of Muslims or Hindus would never have been allowed to happen in the first place.

Until the ZIJ employees, and they are all employees of Zionist Israeli Jewish agendas, are culled to a minimal level then nothing will change. Even then the US would have to ban its political lobbying system which allows vested agendas, corporate, national, religious, political to buy power at Government and Presidential levels and to wield that power in the media.

As long as the US is dictated to by Zionist Israeli Jewish and corporate agendas then nothing will change because a few Americans are making a fortune out of the bombs, bullets and war. And as long as that is the case, the US will continue to successfully bully, bribe and coerce its craven lackey allies, of which Australia is one, into supporting its crimes and hegemonic rampaging.

Zionists and Jews shouldn't be conflated.

In principle I agree. But the mere fact most Jews have by omission or commission supported the Israeli State and its atrocities, either in ignorance or not, for 76 years means that Judaism and Jews will be conflated with Zionism.

Indeed, as long as the Zionist State continues to claim loudly that it represents Jews, all Jews, and is in fact their homeland, their only homeland and their only refuge and all it does it does in the name of Jews, then Jews and Zionism will be seen as one. It is in fact more a factual association than conflation.

What we need to do is to remember that some Jews, not many and some Israelis, very few, have always spoken out against the atrocities committed by Zionist Israel. And while more Jews are doing so now, there is a long way to go before Judaism can be surgically excised from Zionism.
