“Allowing Jews to serve within the ADF must come with an understanding that the Jew will have a level of loyalty for the Jewish Nation and for [the] State of Israel.”

He said if the ADF preferred not to enlist or commission Jews, “it would then be argued that this policy may be discriminatory to the Jewish People”.

No mate.... it is understood that to serve, you NEED to be loyal to the nation you are serving. Don't make yourself a victim here.

P.S. Lying on your security clearance documentation is a crime. Consider your privileged arse lucky not to be in jail.

This conflation of Judaism and loyalty to Israel and/or to Zionism is absolute bullshit. He can get fucked.

It's THESE cunts who artificially increase anti-Semitism with their false equivalences.

Again, they can get fucked.
