Sharna Southwell Fired From Job For Antisemitism. She Deserved To Be.

A vile Australian, anti-Israel protester called Sharna Southwell, who loves to cosplay in order to brainwash children in to hating the Jewish state, has FAFO’d herself out of a job:

A serial protester who wears Disney princess dresses at pro-Palestinian rallies to make children feel more comfortable taking part has claimed she was sacked from her job at the Black Dog Institute over it.

Sharna Southwell, originally from Cronulla, has been a weekly fixture at rallies across the country, including on Sunday when she wore a yellow dress at a Sydney protest.

In a recent Instagram post, she said she was falsely accused of anti-Semitism after donning her handcrafted “Princess Jasmine” dress which she claimed “ultimately resulted in my being fired – thanks Black Dog Institute”.

She said she had worked with the mental health research institute Black Dog for seven months as a digital engagement strategist.

Ms Southwell wrote in an earlier post on Instagram: “It got me thinking … cosplaying for liberation could help spread joy to affected families with children living in Sydney.

“Each week, these children march with my princesses with pride, knowing at least some of their favourite adults on TV stand with them.”

A Black Dog spokeswoman confirmed Ms Southwell was “no longer employed with the organisation”.

Ms Southwell’s LinkedIn says she previously worked for the Department of Premier and Cabinet (NSW) for nine months until December 2017.

She claims she was also the marketing campaign manager for the Australian Red Cross for four months until July 2023.

I am not aware as to which post led to her being “falsely accused of antisemitism” and fired, but I doubt the accusations were false.

A look at her Instagram – her own posts but also those on which she collaborated (meaning she accepted they appear on her feed) – reveals plenty of examples of antisemitism, including falsely accusing the Jewish state of deliberating murdering children and stealing body parts, accusations reminiscent of the antisemitic Blood libels of the Middle Ages:

comparing us to the Nazis, which contravenes the IHRA working definition of antisemitism:

referring to us as “Zios”, an ethnic slur for Jews popularized by American white supremacist David Duke:

and spreading the antisemitic trope of an all-powerful Jewish lobby:

Also interesting how she won’t spell the word “Jewish” here:

But even if this wasn’t enough to get her fired, I would like to think all her blatant terror support and Hamas atrocity denialism would be:

as well as posts calling for the destruction of the Jewish state:

This is just a sample of her vile posts. Her entire feed is replete with lies and hate against the Jewish state, while supporting and/or justifying palestinian, Hizbullah, and Houthi terrorism.

So yes, Southwell has no business being gainfully employed by anyone with a conscience, let alone a mental health research institute.

They should perhaps do some research into her mental health, though.
