"I have never met #SarahSchwartz from the #Jewish Council of #Australia. I suspect that if we sat down together, we would disagree on most things relating to the #Israeli #Palestinian conflict. But like all #Jews, she is part of my people.

That is why I was horrified when #LillianKlein debated her on ABC and accused of being an “anti-Jew” because of her political views.

"Sarah might be a #Jew but she is an anti-Jew whose views are not reflective or representative of the mainstream Jewish community here in Australia." - Lillian Kline[...]

I want to be clear. I am an #Orthodox Jew and a #Zionist, and my politics are not Sarah's. But I would never, ever hurl that accusation at a fellow Jew, and trust me it’s not because I am too polite or too conflict averse. But rather, because #Judaism itself does not allow it.

At the core of Jewish life sits a principle that is both deceptively simple and brutally demanding: #AhavatYisrael. Love for a fellow Jew."
