    Wondering if Fagan's rejection of the IHRA sophistry can be put before the Australian Bell royal commission into antisemitism?

    It needs to be IMO as that commission has I believe publically subscribed to the IHRA definition which has it fundamentally flawed.

    "Jewish Council of Australia opposes Coalition’s antisemitism Bill, citing political agenda to stifle free speech on Palestine" jewishcouncil.com.au/media/jew 27 August 2024

    "While we are deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism in Australia, this Bill is not the answer. The Coalition continues to use Jews as political footballs, using fear to drive a right-wing political agenda. This Bill relies on disputed definitions and conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, which ultimately undermines our ability to address real instances of hate and discrimination." Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer of the Jewish Council of Australia

  3. CW: antisemitism

    Mark Ruffalo is attacking the IHRA Definition of Antisemitism, the subtext being that it's "weaponized antisemitism" a term that we haven't heard as much in the US, but is gaining traction in the UK, one that feeds into multiple antisemitic tropes.

    He supports claims that the IHRA definition's worldwide adoption is due to "lobbying efforts", which comes awfully close to "super secret Jewish puppet masters".

    The first time Ruffalo got into trouble, it was about false statements about Israel. Now that it's about Jews/Jewish power, I wonder if this will be taken more seriously.
