Debate over criticism of Israel and antisemitism in Australia

Original: Criticism of the policies of Israel is not and has never been the same as # antisemitism ; but equating Judaism with # Z

Commentators in Australia are arguing that criticism of Israeli government policies is not the same as antisemitism, while equating Judaism itself with Zionism is itself problematic. The debate targets Jillian Segal, the federal government's antisemitism envoy, with critics calling for her office to be removed, arguing it represents a Zionist voice in parliament while Australia still lacks an Indigenous voice.
