Statement in response to Universities Australia’s working definition of Antisemitism endorsed by its 39 member universities @uniaus @GroupOfEight

Australian public servants have warned that new guidelines conflating criticism of Israel and antisemitism will undermine national security and the independence of the public service. deepcutnews.com/p/antisemitism…

Israel's ambassador to Oz Hillel Newman has said: -Iranian school girls killed by US-Israeli strikes said "I do not believe" its a school - UN has "nothing to do with justice" or "peace and security" -Dismissed "lies about 'genocide', 'famine'" NPC hosting a lovely Hasbara event

The Press Club cancelled Pulitzer winner Chris Hedges after he submitted a speech on the killing of Palestinian journalists, then booked Israel's ambassador instead. If you wonder why media reporting on Gaza genocide has been so disappointing this is what they think is normal.

The National Press Club silenced a journalist who exposed Israeli war crimes in Gaza. Now it is giving a platform to the Israeli Ambassador. As Palestinians are bombed, starved and displaced, their voices are shut out — and those responsible are amplified. This is not neutrality. This is complicity. Call it what it is. Share this. #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide #APAN #MediaAccountability

Anti-Palestinian censors at @Sydney_Uni target what they want, when they want, without accountability. They have made the uni's staff platform a no-go zone for supporters of Palestine, under the cowardly cover of anonymity. Full story in @honi_soit. honisoit.com/2026/03/staff-…

Francesca Albanese's new report documents the systemic torture of Palestinian prisoners, not as isolated abuse, but a pattern carried out at scale with the objective of suppressing Palestinian resistence. This torture is documented, verified, and we've known about it for years. And yet, the Australian Government remains silent. We demand that the Australian Government speak out against Israel’s systemic use of torture. The Government must call in the Israeli ambassador and sanction all entities involved in Israel's torture and prison regime. Back our demands by speaking with your MP today. Link in bio.

The UN has exposed the truth: torture is being used to destroy Palestinians. Our government is complicit We’re in Canberra right now — demanding sanctions.

Dissent is not a threat to democracy. It is democracy. And when institutions start quietly removing the women who exercise it, it is not social cohesion being protected. It is the illusion of it. - Captain Mona Shindy share.google/trsXmEIVNwrJvW…

The USyd VC is in the AFR today on unis as places of robust disagreement – conveniently ignoring that he's overseen the most intense repression of 'disagreement' ever in the history of the campus. My reply to him on internal uni social media, which may be censored at any moment.

Joint Statement The Foreign Ministers of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Türkiye, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the State of Qatar and the Arab Republic of Egypt condemn Israeli occupation authorities’ continued closure of the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque / Al-Haram Al-Sharif to Muslim worshippers particularly during the holy month of Ramadan. Security restrictions on access to the Old City of Jerusalem and its places of worship coupled with discriminatory and arbitrary access restrictions to the other places of worship in the old city constitute a flagrant violation to international law, including international humanitarian law, the historical and legal status quo, and the principle of unrestricted access to places of worship. The Ministers affirmed their absolute rejection and condemnation of this illegal and unjustified measure, as well as Israel’s continued provocative actions at Al-Aqsa Mosque / Al-Haram Al-Sharif and against worshippers. They stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over occupied Jerusalem or its Islamic and Christian holy sites. The Ministers reiterated that the entire area of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, which amounts to 144 dunams, is a place of worship exclusively for Muslims, and that the Jerusalem Endowments and Al-Aqsa Mosque Affairs Department, affiliated with the Jordanian Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, is the legal entity with exclusive jurisdiction to administer the affairs of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque/Haram Al-Sharif and regulate entry to it. The Ministers called on Israel, as the occupying Power, to immediately cease the closure of the gates of Al-Aqsa Mosque, remove access restrictions to the Old City of Jerusalem, and refrain from obstructing Muslim worshippers’ access to the mosque. They also called on the international community to adopt a firm position that compels Israel to halt its ongoing violations and illegal practices against Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, as well as its violations of the sanctity of these holy places. #Jordan

I am truly appreciative of Prime Minister @sanchezcastejon’s unequivocal stance & for standing firm in support of multilateralism + international law at a time when the world is questioning the essence of the United Nations Charter.
