"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."

Thank you #SarahSchwartz and the #JewishCouncilOfAustralia!

The march has been backed by the Jewish Council of Australia, describing it as a "mass call to save Gaza".

"The tens of thousands of people who will march across the Harbour Bridge are crying out for moral leadership," the council's executive officer Sarah Schwartz said.

"It is a time for all of us, including those in positions of power, to do everything they can to halt an active genocide and stand with the people of Gaza."
