“There was a group of students … [that] said that Holocaust survivors were inherently genocidal and therefore should be expelled from the region [of Israel and] should never have been allowed access. “I actually stood up and I said to them: 'Are you really saying that Holocaust survivors are inherently genocidal? That my grandparents, who was a taxi driver and a seamstress... Are you really saying that?’ "And they said, ‘Yeah.’ They reiterated it. "And the professor did nothing.” – This is the experience of Paris Enten, former Monash University student, testifying at the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

Two weeks into year seven, a student calls his Jewish classmate 'devil.' By the second half of the year, students are giving the Nazi salute as she walks past, which the school justified as a 'soldier salute.' By December, there's a hakenkreuz (Nazi symbol) carved into her desk. She tells her teacher she's upset and needs help. The teacher says no. This is one mother's testimony to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion. When she later surveyed others, she found the same pattern everywhere: kids stop reporting because they've learned nothing happens when they do. It's on the record now.

“I cannot be asked to choose between being a liberal and being a Zionist.” Actress, author and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik (Mayim Bialik) rejects the false binary facing so many liberal Jews today. Supporting Israel is not a betrayal of progressive values. It is a belief in Jewish self-determination, dignity and survival. And the obsessive hostility directed at Israel should make us all ask: why? Mayim Bialik in conversation with Jonah Platt on the Being Jewish with Jonah Platt podcast.

Antizionism in academia has not only been tolerated – it's been enforced. Speaking at the European Parliament in Brussels, philosopher and independent scholar Maarten Boudry (Maarten Boudry) argues that the apparent academic “consensus” accusing Israel of genocide is not a true consensus at all – but the result of ideological pressure and what psychologists call a “spiral of silence.” Behind closed doors, he says, many academics privately dissent. But in public, almost none are willing to say so... Video: European Jewish Congress / AIJAC.

"Antisemitism is a crime – not an opinion. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech" In this powerful and unflinching conversation, Amjad Taha (Amjad Taha أمجد طه), Emirati Strategic Political Affairs (Middle East) Expert and Analyst, offers a stark warning drawn from lived experience in the Middle East. He speaks to the deep sense of betrayal many Australian Jews feel, and why appeasing extremist ideologies – dressed up in suits and slogans – only fuels greater danger down the line. Hard truths. Necessary listening. Because peace and tolerance begin with moral clarity – and the courage to enforce it. 🎥 Watch the full conversation between Amjad Taha and journalist and AIJAC's Digital Media Editor, Rebecca Davis (Rebecca Davis) via the link in bio.

Dara Horn, award-winning author and scholar of Jewish history and culture, argues that viewing coordinated campaigns to push Jews out of public life through the lens of debates about Israel misses the point entirely. “They try to make you think that there's this slippery slope or a spectrum from criticism of Israel to antisemitism, and when does it cross the line? There's no line. These are two totally different things.” Video: The Times of Israel / AIJAC.
