In short:

Australia’s 39 universities have endorsed a new definition of antisemitism.

The antisemitism statement was drafted by leaders from the Group of Eight (GoE), Australia’s largest universities.

What’s next?

The definition will now be swiftly adopted on campuses nationwide.

    I don’t think the state of Israel should be ended, but I do think the Nazis running it should be strung up in the Hague for their crimes against humanity.

    Some consideration probably needs to be given to restoring the borders of Palestine to at least half of its original area.

    For most, but not all Jewish Australians, Zionism is a core part of their Jewish identity.

    If they want to call me anti-semetic so be it, i know i’m not. I’ll never support, even tacitly, the repugnant actions Israel has undertaken towards their neighbours for decades. Its not a race, religion or culture thing its a ‘don’t commit crimesagainst humanity thing’.

    To get in before false equivalences, my values stand for all sides in every case. Especially my own country, Brereton Report is an example of our own National shame laid bare.
