So damned glad we left Sydney in 2005
I had a great time studying for an MBA and swimming at Clovelly and Coogee beaches, doing the cliff walk and drinking Hunter Valley wines. But they hate Jews. May they rot in the coming caliphate.
Apparently, some Aussies are choosing Islamist Jew Hating Scum over Western Civilization and the Jews who are the source of that civilization.
Weird choice.
Sydney city council passes BDS motion against companies operating in the West Bank
The councilors thanked pro-Palestinian advocacy organizations, including Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, which maintains a toolkit on how to pass local council motions supporting Gaza.

The Sydney City Council passed a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) motion against companies operating in the West Bank and east Jerusalem on Monday, according to councilors and local Australian sources.
The council meeting allegedly saw Mayor Clover Moore introduce a new set of recommendations to supposedly replace the BDS components of the motion, but Australian Jewish groups, anti-Israel organizations, and pro-Palestinian politicians perceived the item's passing as a BDS victory.
The "Report on City of Sydney Suppliers and Investments in Relation to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Campaigns," which had been unanimously recommended by the Corporate, Finance, Properties, and Tenders Committee last Monday, was supported by all but one city councilor at Monday's meeting.
The city acknowledged that it had no investments or contractual relationships with Israeli and non-Israeli companies operating in the disputed territories listed in a United Nations Human Rights Council register and that the city had preexisting policies in place to "ensure our investment and procurement practices avoid supporting socially harmful activities, including abuse of human rights."
Sydney Jewish leaders said that while the council believed it had removed the BDS component of the report, it still referred to the UNHRC register.
The original report called for monitoring of the UNHCR register for city compliance and to review all procurements to ensure that they are acting in according with the database.
This is a disgusting day in Australian history.
Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves for supporting the evil scumbags marching in the streets calling for the death of Jews. As ever, this crap has nothing to do with geopolitics - there are dozens of places around the world where meaner people are doing horrible things that the Sydney City Council does not concern itself with.
To take an example at random, the evil Fakestinians are still holding hostages both alive and dead 500 days after they murdered and raped 1,200+ innocent people. I don’t hear about the Sydney City Council Boycotting, Divesting and Sanctioning the evil Fakestinians in Gaza or Judea and Samaria.
I cannot wait to hear the cries of outrage when the Muslims in Australia ban beer and tell women to cover up from head to toe on the beach.
I am going to speak with my legislative representatives in Tallahassee about a motion to not allow Floridians to invest in or buy anything from New South Wales.
See how ridiculous that is?
What a pack of wankers.
I was in Sydney in 2004 and 2005 too. Was fun, but we decided it’s the wrong place for us to raise our then two year old Jewish son. Seems like the right decision now.
The photo of the 5 chicks in bikini is from Gaza beach, right? What will it take for Aussies to wake up and realize the obvious: those flying foreign flags on your soil don't mean anything good at all to you, your country and your future. Specially if they come from a foreign culture with parameters that are 300% opposed to your way of life. It just blows my mind...
