Summary
Australia’s universities are caught in a heated debate over how to define anti-Semitism, with the government pushing for adoption of the IHRA definition — which includes criticism of Israel as potentially anti-Semitic — sparking tensions between Jewish groups demanding unity, civil liberties advocates fearing censorship, and institutions like SBS and ABC resisting to protect editorial freedom.
