Challenging antisemitism

In relation to our article Challenging ‘antisemitism’

I must have read a dozen articles decrying the situation of the Palestinians in Gaza and how opposition in Australia to Israel’s actions is being muzzled, particularly by false claims of antisemitism. However, life/death in Gaza goes on.

It is time to begin to ramp up the level of protest, turn words into action; learn from Vietnam protests in the 1960s/70s (yes, I was there!) and begin a campaign of mass civil disobedience culminating in a symbolic day of protest, a “Moratorium”. (Unfortunately the presence of a modern day Jim Cairns in the Labor Party has long gone).

As before, it could begin in the universities with mass challenges and protests by staff and students against the ridiculous elements of the new antisemitism definition.
