Thanks, luckily there are also a few in Aus too, including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Council_of_Australia who have been important in providing a voice to mainstream media which isn't just a Zionist mouthpiece.

Thanks, good to know you have a similar group over there.

By the way, the two I had previously mentioned have been condemned by the head of the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League:

In November 2023, the Anti-Defamation League classified protest events led by groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as "anti-Israel", adding the protests to a database documenting rising antisemitism in the US. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt labelled the organizations "hate groups".

To say this characterization is inaccurate would be an understatement.
