*The controversial IHRA definition, which is used by many groups, including in Australia, defines antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.”
It has been criticised by some, including sections of the Jewish and Palestinian communities, for seeming to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism.*
ABC say that criticising Israel and decisions made by their government shouldn't fall under this ruling, which seems fair.
The IHRA definition comes along with 11 examples, 7 of which are designed specifically to connect jewish people to Israel and thus call anything anti israel, anti semetic.
I mean one of the example says "Dont call Israel policy the same as the nazis" which is absurd, when Israel adopts nazi like policies, they should correctly be compared to nazis.
As if the gaza genocide isnt enough, now they are erasing entire villages from Lebanon's map by blowing up everything, this is crazy bloodthirsty warmongering behaviour and should be called out for what it is
