You would think, that the execution of 15 Jews in broad daylight would be the biggest permanent jolt an apathetic nation and government could receive. After all, it wasn’t as though the Jewish community weren’t belling the cat for years on this.

At the time of writing, it’s been 135 days since the surreal aching day of December 14. A short span and an eternity. It also feels a lifetime ago. For the optimists in the community, there was a sense that finally the grotesque anti Zionist and anti semitic sentiment would have its reckoning. For all the people freeing Palestine each week and in every facet of their keyboards, perhaps some self reflection. LOL as the kids say, as if.

Let’s look at the cavalcade of joy that’s ensued.

Firstly, within one to two weeks, ex Jewish politicians and the broader Jewish community led a ground swell of cross societal support for a Royal commission into antisemitism.It took the federal government three weeks to acquiesce to sustained  political pressure and agree to look into why this happened. For the more sanguine amongst us, we know why, and that we won’t really get the answer.

This Royal Commission is the very least........
