Dr Dvir Abramovich, chair of the Anti-Defamation Commission, Australia’s leading civil rights organization combating anti-Semitism, said he was “shocked by this hateful and ugly outburst of exclusion that is un-Australian and who tears apart our common values.”
‘And after? Being refused entry to a restaurant, club or medical clinic because you wear a Star of David or your name sounds Jewish? asked Dr. Abramovich.
He added: “Who would have thought that in Sydney 2023 people would be refused a booking because of their support for Israel? We should have zero tolerance for this kind of profiling and indefensible bias.
“No one should be targeted or denied entry because of their ethnicity, the country they support, their gender, beliefs, faith or sexual orientation.”
Dr. Abramovish, whose cousin, police inspector Chen Amir, was murdered in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv in August, and whose family on Kibbutz Reim hid in a secure room while the terrorists of Hamas were stalking and killing their neighbors, called on the Human Rights Commission to investigate. deals.

David Ossip, president of the New South Wales Board of Jewish Deputies, called the refusal “sinister and worrying”.
“These are Australian children, not taking part in a foreign conflict,” he said.
“The company, through its correspondence and social media posts, sought to dehumanize Jews and then bragged about its despicable behavior.
“It is deeply repugnant and inconsistent with the values we hold dear as Australians.”
The Australian Jewish Association also condemned the denial of reservation.
“This is not 1930s Germany, this is western Sydney in 2023,” he writes.
“The government has allowed violent and racist hatred to take hold in a certain community.
“This hatred has no place in Australia. The government must speak out.
