(NEWS) Melbourne Jewish Leaders Sever Ties With Newspaper

"Jewish leaders in Melbourne have severed ties with the city’s major broadsheet newspaper, accusing it of 'clear and consistent vilification of the world’s only Jewish state.'

Jewish Community Council of Victoria President John Searle and Zionist Council of Victoria President Dr. Danny Lamm issued a joint statement last week accusing The Age newspaper of pursuing a continued 'war of words against Israel.'

Both leaders of Victoria’s major Jewish bodies said they had addressed the newspaper’s 'strident line' against Israel on several occasions with Paul Ramadge, the editor-in-chief, but to no avail."
