SYDNEY — A petition opposing Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s state visit to Australia included several fake signatures, some belonging to historical figures tied to Nazi collaboration, Jewish organizations said Monday.

The petition, published as full-page ads in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, was promoted by an Australian Jewish anti-Zionist group. The organization claimed “over 1,000 Jews and thousands of allies” had signed the open letter declaring Herzog unwelcome in the country.

Observers quickly flagged inconsistencies, including one name, “Milkek Tachat,” which translates to an offensive Hebrew insult. It’s fitting that the names also include Eliezer Gruenbaum, Carmen Mory, and Josef Heiden — famous for their roles as Kapos in Nazi concentration camps.

The Jewish Council of Australia criticized the petition, calling the inclusion of such names “deeply offensive and misleading.” The group said it had alerted authorities to the fraudulent entries.
