Summary
Australia’s Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion is becoming a major political flashpoint over free speech, Israel and Palestine, civil liberties and political dissent. We examine how accusations of antisemitism are increasingly being linked to criticism of Israel, Zionism and support for Palestinian rights, the controversy surrounding the IHRA definition of antisemitism, and whether Australia is moving toward tighter limits on political debate and protest. As tensions over Gaza continue to influence public discourse, the debate is raising larger questions about democracy, social cohesion, racism, censorship and who gets heard in Australian politics. #AUSPOL #Antisemitism #Palestine #Israel Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.au Support New Politics: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpolitics Substack: https://newpolitics.substack.com Song listing: ‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR.
