Israeli violence against journalists has evolved to target the families and relatives of journalists “in a clear attempt to turn journalistic work into an existential burden for which sons, wives, fathers, and mothers pay the price”. Our ruling class continues to condone such atrocities.

The @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social has put out a very strong and well argued statement rejecting the special envoy’s antisemitism plan
Jewish Council Rejects Special Envoy’s antisemitism plan
The Jewish Council of Australia has today warned that the newly released Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism risks undermining Australia’s democratic freedoms, inflaming community divisions, and entrenching selective approaches to racism that serve political agendas. The report is riddled with misinformation and claims about nefarious funding sources for protests and universities that verge on conspiracy theory. The Council is especially concerned about the plan’s strong endorsement of the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been used to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism. The Council criticised the plan's emphasis on surveillance, censorship, and punitive control over the funding of cultural and educational institutions: measures straight out of Trump's authoritarian playbook. We caution that some of the reccommendations including new visa powers and judicial inquiries into student activity — risk censoring criticism of Israel, deepening racism, and failing to meaningfully address the root causes of antisemitism. The Council is calling on the government to:
• Ground its response in anti-racist principles that include tackling Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, racism against First Nations
people and all other forms of racism;
• Engage a broad spectrum of Jewish voices, including those critical of Israel, who have not been consulted in the development of this plan;
• Reject authoritarian proposals that erode civil liberties under the false guise of Jewish safety.
