Here is a Jewish leader in Melbourne who's a big supporter of Multiculturalism for Australia but says openly at the same time MULTICULTURALISM HAS NO PLACE IN ISRAEL!
national journal: "Multiculturalism has no place in Israel. Israel was created as a Jewish state for the Jews"
Melbourne - Jewish leader Isi Leibler, a staunch defender of Australian multiculturalism, says the policy has no place in Israel.
"This is a country which was set up and created as a Jewish country for the Jews," he told a Jerusalem newspaper.
Mr. Leibler has previously said that multiculturalism in Australia was something that "we are all proud being part and parcel of."
The founder of Jetset Travel moved to Israel two years ago as chairman of the World Jewish Congress. He recently published an essay arguing that Zionism, or Jewish nationalism, was under threat in Israel by "post-Zionists".
"A post-Zionist is someone who actually looks positively towards the end of the Jewish people in ethnocentric terms, as a national group, and no longer sees the Jewish people as one united people," he told the Jerusalem Post.
Mr. Leibler said post-Zionists were pushing a universalist agenda in schools aimed at eliminating Jewish nationalism and creating a multicultural state.
But Mr. Leibler, 65, has the opposite view of multiculturalism in Australia.
During the Pauline Hanson debate in 1993, he warned that multiculturalism was under threat by extremists.
"There is a need to sit together and establish a way in which Australians can recapture that spirit of multiculturalism which I think we are all proud being part and parcel of, and which is really under threat," Mr. Leibler said.
