I recently saw this on the news and they mentioned that it was online "propaganda" and recruiters radicalizing youth to attack Jews in Australia. The accompanying images had swastikas and other poorly spray painted drivel. Are these overblown or is it a combination of geniune anti-Semitism and Mossad doing false flags? And the tone of it on the news made it seem like they were trying to imply Muslims and pro-Palestine people doing it. Australian hexbears, can y'all help us understand what's going on to filter the usual bs from mainstream press?

Genuine comrades would not carry out attacks like those focussed upon in the media (or attacks at all). The anti-Semites who burnt the synagogue in Melbourne and the child care centre in Sydney are almost certainly fascists. They achieve the double aim of terrorising Jewish people living in Australia and drawing increasing police attention against leftist protest against the genocide. Jews Against Fascism, based out of Naarm (Melbourne) is a good follow for anti-fascist news on this.
