Jews get blamed for or embroiled in everything these days.....

By the trendy studenty left, the neo-nazi numbskull right, the teal middle-class 'hipster' centrists...

Whenever something bad happens the anti-jewish fingers start to point!

I wonder how many people remember that Sir John Monash was jewish. He has to be one of the greatest Australian's in history. Met Ned Kelly. Built the Swanston St Bridge. Fought in Gallipoli. Brilliant general and commander who revolutionised modern warfare and was hugely influential in the Allied Forces victory in WWI. Made the ANZACs an unbeatable machine. And a proud Jewish Australian.

After much historical analysis reading and reflections I've always been in the opinion that Monash was one of the greatest military figures of the 20th century...

Not just in Australian terms but in a globally recognised military perspective. In fact I'm not alone in this either....

Winston Churchill is on record as saying that he personally held a deep, lifelong admiration for Monash’s military brilliance. Churchill once described the August 1918 offensive which Monash played a pivotal role in planning "the mightiest military conception and the most terrific onslaught which the annals of war record".....

He undoubtedly was. Monash would be more reverred and recognised if he wasn't Australian, and probably if he wasn't also jewish.
 
Also my notion that everyone seemingly has in for Jews isn't so much about changing real life political ideologies but more story of how the online world reshapes the real one...

I very rarely hear anyone in real life make anti-jewish remarks but online it's almost ubiquitously the norm...

I probably wouldn't have thought about it in the way of his Jewishness myself but I've never understood why Jews are disdained so much to be honest....
 
Online discourse and in person discourse certainly are diametrically opposed in normality if the previous few posts are anything to go by.

Hope you all had a meaningful Anzac Day. Lest we forget.

At least during his life Monash constantly fought that discrimination. Rupert Murdochs dad, who was a war correspondent, ran a nasty campaign against his appointment as a general because he was jewish. Monash was so overwhelmingly competent and brilliant he succeeded against all the odds anyway.

I don't get it either but it would naive to think it doesn't exist.
