The Royal Commission, Palestine and the clampdown on free speech

Australia’s Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion is becoming a major political flashpoint over free speech, Israel and Palestine, civil liberties and political dissent. We examine how accusations of antisemitism are increasingly being linked to criticism of Israel, Zionism and support for Palestinian rights, the controversy surrounding the IHRA definition of antisemitism, and whether Australia is moving toward tighter limits on political debate and protest. As tensions over Gaza continue to influence public discourse, the debate is raising larger questions about democracy, social cohesion, racism, censorship and who gets heard in Australian politics. #AUSPOL #Antisemitism #Palestine #Israel  Subscribe to New Politics for weekly briefings and full analysis: www.newpolitics.com.auSupport New Politics:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/newpoliticsSubstack: https://newpolitics.substack.comSong listing:‘La Femme d’Argent’, AIR.
