It is also a matter of national honour that Australia has joined the ranks of other nations which have adopted the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism”.

ECAJ President, Jillian Segal AO thanked co-CEOs Peter Wertheim and Alex Ryvchin for their efforts, as well as the Expert Members of the Australian Government Delegation to IHRA, the Zionist Federation of Australia and AIJAC. “We have all worked closely on this issue, especially over the last 12 months”, she said. “I also acknowledge the support of a great many parliamentarians from the government and the opposition, including Federal Opposition leader, Anthony Albanese”.
“This is a watershed in Australia in the unending battle against antisemitism”, Segal said. “It is the beginning, not the end of the journey. In order to make good on the Prime Minister’s (Morrison) pledge that Australia embraces the IHRA Working Definition as a nation and a people, it will need to be adopted by the public and private sectors, the University sector, civil society, school education systems and sporting organisations among others”.Aussie should fear this document as it will stifle free speech on modern day Jewish history and deny our younger folks from learning that Jews weren’t just victims during pre WWI and up to the end WWII but also victimisers!

@MirCat; our politicians' decisions to betray Australia's core values by elevating one group of Australians above all others will prove counter-productive.

We've already seen it play out on this forum whereby some posters have alleged that even the slightest scrutiny / criticism of what Netanyahu's Regime has been doing to Palestinians has been declared to be 'anti-Semitism'. by several posters.

And the washup ... the continuing-US resourced slaughter of Palestinian civilians is now seen by the ICJ, the ICC and the UNSC collectively view as war crimes, crimes against humanity, ethnic-cleansing and genocide.

Because of ill-conceived and incredibly stupid actions taken by our politicians, what Hitler's Third Reich did to Jews has become the prism through which decent and fair-minded people are increasingly viewing what Netanyahu's Regime is doing to Palestinians.
