More than 100 Australian Jews, including some prominent members of the Jewish community, have condemned Israel’s incursion into Gaza as “inhuman, superfluous and abominable”.

They have signed a statement disowning the military assault as grossly disproportionate and claiming it was Israel that violated the truce with Hamas after earlier creating a severe humanitarian crisis.

The 113 signatories — including former Whitlam minister Moss Cass, writers Linda Jaivin and Andrew Riemer, NSW Greens MP Ian Cohen and Professor Andrew Benjamin — belong to the group, Independent Australian Jewish Voices.   »»» The Age (Australia)
