## Resource

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. While some universities like Melbourne have embraced the IHRA standard, others resist, creating a complex balancing act between combating hate and safeguarding free speech — as political pressure mounts and the conversation intensifies.
