  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

It is possible to downplay the waves of antisemitism sweeping the world, as the Australian government has unsurprisingly done, and claim that the Hanukkah massacre in Sydney was merely an isolated incident carried out by two lone attackers, as if they were aliens who landed on Earth by chance and stumbled into a Hanukkah celebration on the beach. It is also easy to issue vague, nonbinding statements condemning antisemitism, as Australian officials have done, followed by many others around the world, without attempting to understand the nature of twenty-first century antisemitism. This modern form fuses hatred of Jews with hostility toward the State of Israel and uses criticism of Israel, and even calls to erase it from the map, as a cover and pretext for attacking Jews.
What must be done to stop this wave of hatred and terror against Jews around the world? The answer is simple: Learn from the lessons of the past and apply them.
The evil of Islamic radicalism needs to be strongly denounced by the Australian government. No more cries of Islamaphobia." Stop anti-semitism now.
