Congrats to the USyd students who have overwhelmingly voted to reject the pernicious Universities Australia antisemitism definition. As David Leser says about the similar IHRA def, 'no vehement critic of Israel is safe from the accusation of antisemitism'. smh.com.au/world/middle-e…

Over 200 students packed a Student General Meeting at the University of Sydney, overwhelmingly rejecting the university’s new definition of antisemitism, designed to smear supporters of Palestine, and standing up to a crackdown on the right to protest. solidarity.net.au/highlights/hun…

Burned alive in his tent. He had no weapon, no warning, only fear. This child is not collateral damage. He is the price of silence. #Gaza

Another day, another Australian politician intervening in the arts - overturning expert judges to punish anyone deemed “anti-Israel” all while that apartheid state starves kids to death and has overseen the daily massacre of Palestinians. This is an absolute disgrace.

Getting rid of the Sydney Peace Foundation, glorifying a Zionist lobbyist with an honorary doctorate - Sydney Uni really showing what side it's on. honisoit.com/2025/05/sydney…

Compelling legal analysis of the incoherence and dangers of the antisemitism definition which universities like University of Sydney have rushed to adopt. sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/universit…

First University of Sydney shut down the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, now they have axed the Sydney Peace Foundation. As a former Chair am dismayed - the annual Sydney Peace Prize has brought leaders in the fight for peace with justice to Australia and to the university.

Apparently, the University of Sydney VC sees no paradox in opposing racism against international students at the same time as cracking down on pro-Palestinian protest on campus – or, as he ludicrously calls it, 'supporting free speech'. sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/n…

Very well attended Staff for Palestine meeting at University of Sydney tonight on why the Universities Australia antisemitism definition and other standalone definitions should be rejected. A motion to this effect was passed overwhelmingly.

Do oppressed people have the right to imagine an alternative to the state that is oppressing them? The UA definition of antisemitism says no. It’s a ludicrous position for a university to adopt, and more and more colleagues can see that.

I deeply resent having to talk about the Zionist lawfare campaign against John Keane and me when all eyes should be on the genocide in Gaza. But I'm very grateful to the Jewish signatories & organisers of this letter for rejecting the slur that our anti-Zionism is antisemitic.
