    *AustraliarCOs Proposed Antisemitism Plan: Social Cohesion or Gross Overreach?*

    "ThererCOs been a clear shift in AlbaneserCOs tone on GazarCobut whatrCOs driving it?
    I break down the PMrCOs new stance, revisit the Lattouf and Lalor cases,
    and look at why the new antisemitism plan from Special Envoy Jillian
    Segal has a lot of people worried.

    We talk lobbying, media pressure, the controversial IHRA definition, and
    the slippery slope toward silencing criticism.

    This isn't about denying the existence of antisemitism - it's about questioning whether this new plan is the best way to fight it. And
    whether it risks doing more harm than good."

    ~~~ ~~~

    Let's emphasise that Antisemitism just like any other form and
    manifestation of racism has NO place in any civilised democratic society.
    But let's remember that Palestinians are also Semitic people.
    Never should we excuse anyone engaging in pro Apartheid propaganda nor supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing.

    Finally we should stop any meddling in our internal politics by foreign political lobby groups. Israel should NOT be an exception.
    Just because the fully corrupt, racist and fascist regime in Israel does
    not tolerate any criticism of their genocidal war, we should not allow
    them to export their intolerable view to Australia. We should value our freedom of speech and freedom of expression within the limits of
    civility, humanity, reality and the truth.
