The progressive Jewish Council Australia in above Guardian link takes the stand of US peace groups. On 2.4.2023 their media release called for "Australia must cut all military ties and place sanctions on Israel". This is part of the united progressive front needed to stop the genocide and war expansion. It just needs to be grown. Gives me hope.
huey, there are several Jewish groups that oppose this. I'm a little surprised you don't get their e-mails. "Bend the Arc" and some others. If you provide your e-mail address, I'll forward to you everything I get. Most Americans, including Jews, oppose it. A growing number of Israeli Jews oppose it, and are trying to get Netanyahu out. Some (lots?) in the Israeli military are opposed. There's also a population of Israeli Jews who have left Israel, either in protest or because they can't stomach living there any more. And the Australian group Julie Anne linked. When every UN member country, except the US, wants to impose a ceasefire, it's hard to imagine that doesn't include at least various European Jews represented by their countries.
Certainly some have. Jewish Voice for Peace, If Not Now, are two who are working towards that end. They are out spent, if not outnumbered.
I think outnumbered says it all.
