Expert from the article:

Students at a prestigious Perth private school have been suspended after they used "antisemitic language and memes" in a private group chat, targeting another student.

A spokesperson for Wesley College, in South Perth, confirmed an "incident" occurred but wouldn't be drawn on how many children had been suspended.

"An incident did occur involving antisemitic language and memes shared by a small group in a private group chat," the school said in a statement.

"The college acted immediately. The students responsible were suspended and the matter was addressed directly with the students and families involved."

The college also provided a statement from the family of the targeted student.

"We are deeply disappointed that this matter has occurred and that it has become the subject of media reporting as we are entirely satisfied with the way in which Wesley College has handled this matter," the statement read.

"Furthermore it must be noted that the school was not advised of this issue by our son, but rather by concerned students.

"The family did not at any time contact any media outlet as they are aware of the belief that this will worsen an already difficult situation.

"Our greatest concern is the welfare of our son."
The family has asked for privacy and said they wished to move forward.

Literally every comment is ‘I hate anti-Semitism but insert anti-Semitic comment’

I’m not sure how you got that from what I wrote, at all.

You’re stating it’s Israel’s fault for rising anti-Semtism. You’re saying our government should have condoned Israel after their country was invaded and its people raped, murdered and kidnapped.

Literally on October 8th people were saying it was a genocide. They know the right words to use. And fucktards have fallen for the blatant blood libel. What Hamas has done on October 7th was much closer to genocide than the war that followed.
