According to the Australian Jewish News, cafe owner Aliza Shuvaly arrived at work to find the graffiti.
A Jewish cafe in Melbourne, Australia was defaced Thursday with a swastika and the words, “The Holocaust is a lie.”
According to the Australian Jewish News, cafe owner Aliza Shuvaly arrived at work to find the graffiti.
“I started to shake, I didn’t know what to do,” Shuvaly told AJN, noting that many members of her family were Holocaust survivors.
She said that she is now scared, but that she will not let the incident deter her from running her business.
“I couldn’t close the cafe,” she told AJN. “It’s not going to break me as a Jew. I’m not sure if I’m the target or [if it’s] just because we are Jewish.”
Antisemitism is on the rise in Australia. The 12 month period ending September 30, 2018 saw a 59% increase over the previous year in total antisemitic incidents in Australia involving threats or acts of violence, according to the annual Report on Antisemitism in Australia published by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ).
In response to the cafe incident, Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dvir Abramovich told the Australian paper, “We need to make sure that we do not reach the point where Jews in Victoria will not feel safe walking the streets or in their businesses, yet the recent surge in hate and white-supremacists activity in our state, which is hitting an all-time high, is causing many to feel this way.”

You're not wrong.
Especially here in Ausland, they are part of the easiest to manipulate groups.
Their hatred is unfocused and they lash out without thought.
Its like >>13469612 commenting about Asylum seekers. He doesn't talk about the amount of money siphoned from Australian taxpayers to Jewish interest groups proclaiming to be helping the asylum seekers. The companies used were literal shell companies recieving hundreds of millions of dollars.
They are used as a form of Divide and conquer, when you constantly show incompetent groups of white people, those of us that believe we have at least some intelligence would never be associated with such honeypots.
