Anti-Semitism

Students asked if they were Jewish going into University lectures. Synagogue fire bombed. This is Australia and we don’t allow this to occur!!

Antisemitism 

Children cut out of line
Being Jewish is their crime
Forced segregation is now the game
How long before cloth stars are warn in shame

Synagogue fires burn in the night
Cowards torch and run is their   might
How long before the chimneys grow
Belching black smoke and ash as the wind blows
