‘****** this hatred’: Leader of Australia’s largest ******* community issues rallying call on one year anniversary of ****** ******* *******

The leader of Australia’s largest ******* community organisation has called for ordinary Australians to ****** the “hatred” of what he has called rising antisemitism a year on from the horrific October 7 ******* by ******.

Alex Ryvchin made the comments in Sydney on Monday while marking a year since the devastating ******* on ******* by the Islamist group, who ******* 1200 people and took hundreds more ******** into Gaza.

The ******* kicked off a ******* conflict between the ******* Defence Forces (IDF) and ******, with more than 40,000 Palestinians ******* during the offensive.

Mr Ryvchin, the co-chief executive of the Executive Council of *********** Jewry, said October 7 was a day ******* people would “never forget”.

Since the attacks, over 1800 incidents of antisemitism have been recorded in Australia – marking an increase of more than 300 per cent from the previous year’s numbers, he said.

“Beyond the scale and sheer number of the atrocities, it is the scenes, the images which will stay with us forever,” Mr Ryvchin said to a crowd in Sydney.

Mr Ryvchin referred to the ****** of 22-year-old ******** tattoo artist Shani Louk, who was ******* at the Nova music festival just as gunmen launched their *******, and the kidnapping of soldier Naama Levy from army observation post near the Gaza border.

“We saw things on that day we never thought we’d see again,” he said.

“According to ******* tradition, a year after an event of trauma and loss, we are compelled to cease our mourning.

“But it’s impossible not to mourn, when 101 Israelis remain in that *****.”

Amid heightened tensions in Australia over conflict, Mr Ryvchin said it was “incumbent” upon all Australians to “****** this hatred”.

“It cannot be the ******* community alone standing up to this,” he said.

“This is a national problem which requires a national solution.”

Pro-Palestine protestors are also preparing to mark October 7 with their own demonstrations, as thousands of people prepare to flood the streets of Sydney and Melbourne.

Over the weekend, passionate crowds marched through Sydney’s CBD, calling for Australia to cut ties with *******.

A similar protest is planned at the Lakemba town hall later this evening.

The new spate of protests follow Australia’s Ambassador to Iran, Ian McConville, being summoned by the regime over what they claim are “repeated biased positions” on the Middle East conflict.

Iran is a backer of both ****** and Hezbollah – a southern Lebanon ********** group which began ******* rockets at civilian areas in northern ******* last month.

******* ramped up action against the group with a rocket barrage which ******* most of it’s upper echelon – including Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah – and some embedded Iranian military officials.

Anthony Albanese and his federal cabinet have repeatedly said ******* has the right to defend itself after Iran’s initial missile *******, and have said they would not mourn senior Hezbollah and ****** figures ******* in the conflict.

“In light of the repeated biased positions of the *********** government, which are contrary to the principles of international law regarding recent regional developments, (Ian) McConville, the *********** Ambassador to Tehran, was summoned to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Director General for Asia and Oceania of the ministry,” Iran’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Sunday (local time).

The ministry said the official who grilled Mr McConville “expressed strong objection to the unjustified and biased positions of the *********** government regarding regional developments and the adventurism of the Zionist regime in escalating regional tensions”.
