The rally organizer says the movement is also about maintaining Australia’s value.
The Grassroots Lions of Zion have only been around for two months with 3,300 followers on Instagram as Garner. The message from organizer Yaacov Travitz is that if anti-Semitism doesn’t stop, it will continue to grow.
Travitz made comments during the Epoch era at a rally at the Melbourne State Legislature Step last weekend.
Like many Jewish Australians, Kravitz is tired of ongoing anti-Semitism activities and believes that social tensions will continue if Middle Eastern peace is not achieved.
He says the return of the deceased child and his mother, Siri Vivas, KFIR (9 months) and Ariel (4) will only place an additional burden on the community.
“My only reaction to (Adass Israel Synagogue) Firebombing is being surprised that it didn’t happen early,” Kravitz said.
“What is given by the government has made it worse and worse over time.

“And the only thing that keeps me surprised is that it’s not happening faster or faster,” he said.

Travitz says there is a silent majority denounced Hamas and its supporters.
“We’re going to have a call right away and test a quiet majority,” he said.
“And we give them a platform. Many people have asked, ‘Where is the quiet majority and why are they not talking?’
“I say a lot, let’s put that in the test. We’ll do it right away.”
He also wants to generate enough grassroots momentum to prevent issues such as cancelling the annual Myer Windows Christmas event at Berkcent Mall in Melbourne last year.
Travitz said the lions of the Zion movement are steadily expanding online.
“We have received calls from media from overseas asking us all sorts of questions, which is why we are growing not only in Melbourne but on the international spectrum.
“We will soon open a chapter in Sydney. And we will go nationally and internationally.”
The Lions of Zion Instagram page contains video clips of Jews and video clips of Jewish supporters of anti-Semitism, waving and draping Israeli flags.
“We don’t want to turn us into a political movement because we aren’t.
“We are for the people, for the people. We are not just Jews and Zionists.
“We are all those who want Australia for Jews, Zionists, Christians, Hindus, Iranians and Russians.
