McCarthyist Zionist Antisemitism Plan Threatens Australian Free Speech, Media, Universities & Anti-racist Jews, Arabs & Muslims
By Dr Gideon Polya
The 7 October 2023 Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp was evidently to seize Israeli hostages to exchange for 5,250 Palestinian political prisoners held by Apartheid Israel. The Israelis evidently permitted this to occur to provide a 9/11-style excuse for the subsequent and continuing Gaza Genocide (so far 0.7 million deaths from violence and deprivation). A highly-flawed Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP) to the Australian Government was in response to a perceived increase in anti-Israel sentiment in Australia.
The Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP) [1] is sloppy, full of unsubstantiated rhetoric, woefully short on facts and figures, strong on antisemitism hysteria and astonishingly ignores Elephant in the Room realities, notably the horrors of the Zionist-imposed Gaza Genocide that are making all decent people around the world extremely upset about Zionist Israelis and their fervent Zionist and pro-Zionist supporters and apologists. Conversely, it proposes draconian constraints on free speech and civil liberties on Australian citizens protesting this unforgivable Zionist Israeli crime, specifically students, scholars, academics, universities, media, journalists, commentators, political representatives and indeed all ordinary Australian citizens.
Critically the ZAP echoes Zionist demands for general adoption of the highly flawed, racist and human rights-violating International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism that has been rejected by over 40 anti-racist Jewish organizations. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment is not antisemitism but the ZAP seeks to force an absurd, offensive and dangerous converse position on all Australians.
The ZAP proposals will damage Australia as an informed democracy, with the only national beneficiary being Australia-violating, genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, endlessly thieving and grossly human rights-violating Apartheid Israel that is presently engaged in the Gaza Genocide, one of the world’s most appalling genocidal atrocities since World War 2 (WW2) and the WW2 Jewish Holocaust in particular.
Set out below is a detailed and documented analysis of the gross deficiencies and dangers to Australia and Australians of the Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP).
(1). The anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia (JCA) and an eminent Australia lawyer have promptly condemned the Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP) as Trumpian or Trumpist.
The anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia (JCA) issued the following statement about the ZAP: “Jewish Council of Australia has today warned that the newly released Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism risks undermining Australia’s democratic freedoms, inflaming community divisions, and entrenching selective approaches to racism that serve political agendas.
The report is riddled with misinformation and claims about nefarious funding sources for protests and universities that verge on conspiracy theory.
The Council is especially concerned about the plan’s strong endorsement of the widely discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been used to silence legitimate criticism of Israel and Zionism.
The Council criticised the plan’s emphasis on surveillance, censorship, and punitive control over the funding of cultural and educational institutions: measures straight out of Trump’s authoritarian playbook. We caution that some of the recommendations — including visa powers and judicial inquiries into student activity — risk censoring criticism of Israel, deepening racism, and failing to meaningfully address the root causes of antisemitism.
The Council is calling on the government to: Ground its response in anti-racist principles that include tackling Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, racism against First Nations people and all other forms of racism; Engage a broad spectrum of Jewish voices, including those critical of Israel, who have not been consulted in the development of this plan; Reject authoritarian proposals that erode civil liberties under the false guise of Jewish safety” [2].
Greg Barnes SC (a former National President of the Australian Lawyers Alliance): “There is a real risk of federal governments succumbing to relentless pressure from the Israel lobby and its media allies like The Australian in threatening, or actually, cutting funding because they are persuaded to conflate antisemitism with criticism of Israel and forms of Zionism. What Segal is doing is Trumpian. That is no exaggeration. We know Trump is bullying universities, harassing NGOs and arts organisations and cultural figures all because they are exercising, or facilitating the exercise of, freedom of speech. The Albanese Government must rule out any suggestion that it will link funding or tax-deductible status as a means of stamping out antisemitism. It would be a policy fraught with danger. It will, inevitably, lead to some self-censorship and fear among artists, academics and charitable groups. In short, Segal is treading into dangerous territory and essentially asking the Albanese Government to abandon its international human rights obligations. Australia is a party to a number of international human rights treaties. The right to freedom of opinion and expression is contained in articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Of course, there are limits, which include outlawing antisemitism when it is genuinely present. There is also the implied freedom of political communication developed by the High Court over three decades” [3].
(2). Origin of the Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP).
Before critiquing this highly-flawed ZAP [1] it is important to sketch its origin. Zionist-perverted Australia is second only to Zionist-perverted America as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel. Hugely disproportionate Jewish Israeli reprisals for the deaths of 1,139 Israelis led to continuing outrage in the civilized world as reflected in weekly rallies. In Australia the Zionists, the Zionist-perverted Australian Labor Government and the even more fervently Zionist Coalition Opposition sought to hide the ever-worsening Gaza Massacre with a relentless campaign of “antisemitism hysteria” and “terrorism hysteria” [4].
As a key part of this campaign the Labor Government appointed a Zionist Antisemitism Envoy (ignoring a substantial body of anti-racist Jews in Australia and worldwide opposed to the horrific crimes of Apartheid Israel [5, 6], as reflected in the position of the wonderfully humane and anti-racist Jewish Council of Australia (an independent expert body of scholars, lawyers, writers, and teachers focusing on the issue of antisemitism and racism and advocating for a cease-fire [7].
(3). The ZAP totally ignored the horrific consequences of the 7 October 2023 Breakout from the 58-year duration Gaza Concentration Camp: total destruction and looming total ethnic cleansing of Gaza
The ZAP mentions “7 October 2023” just 2 times: (i) “However, since 7 October 2023, antisemitism has risen to deeply troubling levels in Australia” (p2 [1]) and (ii) “While the tragic events of 7 October 2023 brought an uprising of hatred directed at the Jewish community around the world, this insidious prejudice had already been rising steadily in Australia – threatening social cohesion and undermining the integrity of our democracy”(p4 [1]). However “antisemitism” rhetoric aside, there is no mention of the consequences: 1,139 Israeli killed and 680,000 Gazans killed by violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025 with most Gazans homeless and starving and Gaza flattened.
The Breakout on 7 October 2023 gained 240 hostages to “trade” for Palestinian hostages. Al Jazeera on Palestinian hostages: “Of those in detention [9,900]: 3,498 are held without charge or trial, 400 are children, 27 are women, and 299 are serving life sentences… 5,250 political prisoners in October 2023, 9,900 in April 2025…Since October 7, Israel has detained about 30,000 Palestinians”.
From data published by expert epidemiologists in the leading medical journal The Lancet, by 25 April 2025 (war dead remembrance Anzac Day in Australia and New Zealand) it is estimated that Gaza deaths from violence (136,000) and imposed deprivation (544,000 on the “conservative” basis that they were 4 times the violent deaths) total 680,000 or about 0.7 million.
The UNHCR reports: “The burden of indirect deaths was between three and 15 times the number of direct deaths… A reasonable average estimate would be a ratio of four indirect deaths”. My book “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950” estimated a ratio of 1 (Iraq War) and 16 (Afghan War). Western Mainstream media presently report 56,000 deaths and thus under-count Gaza deaths 12-fold by ignoring 544,000 indirect deaths from imposed deprivation.
Under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries, this implying 380,000 Gaza under-5 infant deaths. The 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025 included deaths of about 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men.
The Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp and the 58-year Zionist Israeli Occupation was associated with the deaths of 1,139 Israelis, this yielding an Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio of 680,000/1,139 = 597 or 60 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Hitler and immediately effected in the 1944 Ardeatine Cave Massacre in Rome. Terrorism is as terrorism does.
Respected Western journalists have disputed the “official Zionist Israeli narrative” and it is likely that the 7 October 2023 Breakout was deliberately enabled by the Zionist Israelis to provide a 9/11-style excuse for the complete destruction and ethnic cleansing of Gaza (for gas resources and real estate) that has now been proposed both by Trump and the Zionist Israelis. Many of the Israelis killed on 7 October 2023 were victims of the high explosive firepower of the responding IDF operating under the IDF Hannibal Directive (prevent hostage taking even if it means killing the hostages). If 50% of the Israelis were killed by the IDF then the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio of 680,000/570 = 1,193 (119 times greater than the 10 ordered by Hitler. In stark contrast, the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio in Gaza from 2008 to 6 October 2023 was 21. Nazism is as Nazism does.
Of the 1,139 Israelis killed on 7 October 2023 about 97.5% were adults and hence mostly former or present soldiers involved in the illegal and genocidal Occupation. Under International Law subjugated people have the right to rebel and defend themselves but Occupiers have no right to defend themselves in a belligerently and illegally occupied territory. Starvation of a population is prohibited as a war strategy and violates the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Genocide Convention [8, 9].
(4). Totally ignored by the ZAP, antisemitism comes in 2 repugnant forms, anti-Jewish anti-Semitism and anti-Arab anti-Semitism (Islamophobia).
This is explained by a Letter I sent to major Australian Mainstream media (it was not published of course but see [10]): “ Anti-Semitism occurs in 2 repugnant forms, anti-Arab anti-Semitism against 300 million ethnically and culturally Semitic Arabs and 2,000 million mainly culturally Semitic Muslims (aka Islamophobia), and anti-Jewish anti-Semitism against 18 million mostly culturally Semitic Jews (most Jews are ethnically non-Semitic Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews like me who descend from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in the 9th century CE). Outstanding anti-racist Jewish American scholar Professor Bertell Ollman (NYU) (2004): “The Zionists are the worst anti-Semites in the world today, oppressing a Semitic people as no nation has done since the Nazis”. In Palestine Zionism involves genocidal racism, egregious mendacity, theft of land, property and country, repeated mass ethnic cleansing (1948, 1967 and 2023-2025) and unforgivable mass murder in the ongoing Gaza Genocide. In the absence of any concrete evidence as to motive, the Zionist-perverted Labor Government and Coalition Opposition have ascribed recent deplorable but fortunately victim-less attacks on property in Melbourne to asserted “anti-Semitism”, effectively adopt war criminal Netanyahu’s false dictum that “Anti-Israel sentiment is anti-Semitic” and exhibit unforgivable and all-too-real anti-Semitism by variously defaming and threatening the free speech of anti-racist Jews and Arabs opposed to the horrific crimes of Apartheid Israel” [10].
(5). The ZAP offensively singles out particular and overwhelmingly non-violent anti-Jewish racism to the total exclusion of all other racism, including genocidal anti-Arab anti-Semitism, and horrifically violent misogyny in Australia.
The ZAP is effectively solely concerned with asserted antisemitism allegedly directed at Jews that is overwhelmingly non-violent and largely involving allegedly antisemitic graffiti and abuse. Thus, for example, in the year 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2024 Jews were disgracefully subject to physical assault (65 times ), vandalism (29), verbal abuse (622), and abusive messaging (283) but no Jews were seriously injured or killed and most of the allegedly anti-Semitic messaging was actually fair comment directed at child-killing Zionist Israelis. However in stark contrast the ZAP ignores (a) the Zionist Israeli-imposed Gaza Genocide involving 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025, this including deaths of about 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men [8, 9]; (b) 32 million Muslims killed by violence, 5 million, and imposed deprivation, 27 million, in 20 countries invaded by the fervently pro-Zionist US Alliance since the Zionist-perverted US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 innocent Americans [11, 12]; and (c) an estimated 96,000 Australian women, many of them mothers, presently subject to physical violence each year and about 46 actually killed annually [4]. War is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate. Ignoring genocide is far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial because the latter can at least permit public refutation and public debate (subject to Mainstream media gatekeepers that in the West are demonstrably Zionist perverted).
(6). The ZAP totally ignores Zionist anti-Jewish anti-Semitism directed against anti-racist Jews critical of genocidally racist Apartheid Israel.
The following 6/7/2025 Letter sent by me to major Australian Mainstream media was not published of course but describes Zionist abuse of antiracist Jews: “ Three utterly deplorable but fortunately victimless events in Melbourne – scorching of a synagogue door, disruption of an Israeli-owned restaurant, defacement and arson at a business supplying parts for warplanes bombing Gaza - have all been immediately described in the absence of concrete evidence as “antisemitic” by the fervent pro-Zionists – the Labor Government, Coalition Opposition, Mainstream media, the taxpayer-funded ABC and the fanatical Apartheid Israel Lobby. These fervent pro-Zionists echo the sentiments of Netanyahu, the PM of endlessly Australia-violating Apartheid Israel, who falsely declares that “anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitic”, wants stronger Australian government action, and is the subject of arrest warrants from the ICC over the ongoing Gaza Genocide involving 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence, 136,000, and imposed deprivation, 544,000, by 25 April 2025 (from data in the leading medical journal The Lancet). The qualification of “alleged” is absent from the pro-Zionist antisemitism hysteria. Ignored is the real anti-Semitism of the pro-Zionists, notably (1) false defamation of anti-racist Jews, notably by false conflation of the crimes of Apartheid Israel with all Jews, (2) complicity in the mass murder of Semitic Palestinians by mostly non-Semitic Ashkenazi Jewish Israelis, and (3) unforgivable racist Zionist brainwashing of innocent Jewish children” (see [10]).
Anti-racist Jews are the very best of Jews but are subject to utterly awful vilification by Zionists as “self-hating Jews”, “self-loathing Jews” or “Jew-hating Jews” (see [5, 6, 14]). A 4-decade career academic scientist and prolific humanitarian writer (author of 1,000 huge and exhaustively referenced humanitarian articles and 10 huge books) I have been rendered largely “invisible” to Mainstream, Australia by false and damaging Zionist defamation [6].
(7). The ZAP totally ignores anti-Arab anti-Semitism directed against Palestinian, Arab and Muslims upset over US, US Alliance and Zionist Israeli mass murder of Palestinian, Arab and Muslims.
The ZAP totally ignores the term “anti-Arab anti-Semitism” that describes racism directed against 300 million ethnically and culturally Semitic Arabs and 2,000 million mostly culturally Semitic Muslims (aka Islamophobia). Within Western countries including Australia anti-Arab anti-Semitism manifests as real persecution of Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims through laws relating to asserted “terrorism” and asserted “hate speech” as well as anti-protest and other free speech-constraining laws. This persecution has extended to persecution of anti-racist Jewish and other non-Arab and non-Muslim opponents of anti-Arab anti-Semitism.
(8). ZAP Section 2.2 , “Unpacking the drivers of antisemitism” astonishingly totally ignores the present “drivers” of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish sentiment in Australia and worldwide.
While totally ignoring the present palpably obvious “drivers” of anti-Israel, anti-Zionist and anti-Jewish sentiment in Australia, the ZAP offensively maligns young Australians as ignorant or misled as set out in Section 2.2 that is reproduced here in full: “The surge in antisemitism we have seen in the last 18 months in Australia is driven by extremist ideologies both online and offline. Some online platforms have become vectors for conspiracy theories and hate speech. Research commissioned by the Special Envoy highlights a stark divide between Australians under 35 and those over 35, reflecting generational differences in media consumption and the perceptions younger Australians’ [sic] have of the Middle East and the Jewish community. There also appear to be generational differences in the understanding of the Holocaust and its impacts on society. These differences in attitude to Jewish Australians and to the existence of the State of Israel have informed many of the elements in this Plan, including initiatives to improve education, understanding and best practice in schools, universities, social media and sport” (p4 [1]).
The anti-racist American Jewish medium Mondoweiss (July 2021): “A quarter of Jewish voters polled by the Jewish Electorate Institute said they believed Israel is an apartheid state. This number rises to 38% for voters under 40” [15]. In stark contrast, until very recently about 99% of Jewish Israelis supported the war on Gaza, variously as too violent, sufficiently violent or insufficiently violent [16, 17].
In 2024 I published a huge book entitled “Free Palestine. End Apartheid Israel, Human Rights Denial, Gaza Massacre, Child Killing, Occupation and Palestinian Genocide” [18]. As succinctly sketched below, the ZAP totally ignores these terms in my title, other key terms and hence key realities contributing to anti-apartheid, anti-genocide, anti-Israel, anti-Zionist sentiment and, very sadly and unfairly, to incorrectly generalized anti-Jewish sentiment in Australia and worldwide:
(a). Apartheid. Israel is a genocidally racist apartheid rogue state. Before the Gaza Massacre Indigenous Palestinians were 51% of Apartheid Israel’s 15.1 million Subjects and Jewish Israelis 47%. However Occupied Palestinians - 73% of these Indigenous Palestinian Subjects – are deprived of all human rights under military rule and cannot vote for the government ruling them. The 2.1 million Israeli Palestinians can vote for Zionist-approved candidates but are Third Class citizens under 65 race-based, Nazi-style discriminatory laws. 7 million Exiled Palestinians are excluded from the Land continuously inhabited by their forebears for millennia. Those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are unfit for decent company, public life and public office in a one-person-one-democracy like Australia.
(b). Apartheid Israel. After the 1960 Sharpeville Massacre in which 69 Africans were killed, Apartheid South Africa and its racist supporters were subject to ultimately successful global Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). However unlike genocidally racist Apartheid Israel, Apartheid South Africa was not genocidal. Surely after the killing of 680,000 Gazans 479,000 of them children) the world must apply Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) to genocidally racist Apartheid Israel and all its supporters.
(c). Human Rights. In the 58 years since 1967 Occupied Palestinians have been denied all the Human Rights set out in the 30 Articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Israeli Palestinians are subject to 65 Nazi-style race-based discriminatory laws. 7 million Exiled Palestinians cannot live in their own country, the Land continuously inhabited by their forebears for 4 millennia of recorded history.
(d). International Law. Apartheid Israel variously rejects and/or is criminally in gross violation of the following key elements of the international “rules -based order”:
(i). The UN Charter. Apartheid Israel has attacked the territory of 14 countries including the US, namely Uganda, Sudan, Libya, Tunisia, Ivory Coast, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Turkey, Iran and the US; it has occupied the territory of 5 countries, namely Egypt, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria; it has de facto annexed the territory of 4 countries, namely Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria; it continues to routinely bomb Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria; Australia should apply sanctions on Israel as it has on Russia for illegal occupation of territory.
(ii). The UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (UN Genocide Convention). Apartheid Israel is prosecuting an ongoing Palestinian Genocide according to US genocide expert Professor Francis Boyle; through weaponry and advisers it is complicit in the Sudan Genocide, the South Sudan Civil War, the Guatemala Mayan Indian Genocide, the Myanmar Rohingya Genocide, and the Sri Lanka Tamil Genocide; 680,000 deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in the ongoing Gaza Genocide.
(iii). The Rights of the Child Convention (United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child ). 50% of Israeli children surveyed reported child abuse with 18% reporting sexual abuse (25% of adults report experiencing child sexual abuse in Australia); pre-Gaza Massacre, about 47% of the 2.4 million people in the bombed and blockaded Gaza Concentration Camp and the 3.2 million in the military-ruled West Bank were children.
(iv). The UN Refugee Convention ( UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees). There are 7 million Exiled Palestinians forbidden on pain of death to set foot in their Homeland continuously inhabited by their forebears for millennia; there are about 7 million Palestinian refugees, 10% of the world total, denied human rights and their Homeland by Apartheid Israel; eminent anti-racist Jewish Australians have exposed and opposed the race-based Law of Return that allow Jews into Palestine as Israeli citizens but excludes Indigenous Palestinians.
(v). the Geneva Conventions. Apartheid Israel grossly and murderously violates Articles 55 and 56 of the Fourth Geneva Convention that demand that an Occupier must do everything “to the fullest extent available to it” to keep the Occupied Subjects alive – 4,000 Occupied Palestinians die avoidably from Israeli-imposed deprivation each year and a further 21st century average of 550 are violently killed by Israelis each year.
(vi). the International Criminal Court. Apartheid Israel rejects its authority but Palestinians are cooperating; the ICC is currently investigating Israel war crimes; there should be no trade with Apartheid Israel in these circumstances, noting that the deadly weapons business is a major part of the Israeli economy, involves pre-testing of weapons on captive Occupied Palestinians and on neighbouring Arab populations, involves chemical, biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction, and has involved deadly and genocidal involvements in the Guatemalan Mayan Indian Genocide, the Sri Lanka Tamil Genocide, the Sudan Genocide, the South Sudan Civil War and the Myanmar Rohingya Genocide.
(vii) the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. Apartheid Israel absented itself for the vote; Apartheid Israel deprives Occupied Palestinians of all human rights , including the right to vote for the government ruling them; Indigenous Palestinian Israelis are Third Class citizens under over 60 Nazi-style race-based laws; pre-war, Indigenous Palestinians represented over 50% of the Subjects of Apartheid Israel, and Jewish Israelis 47%, yet Arab MPs in the Knesset number 14 (11.7%) versus 106 (88.3%) for Jews i.e. democracy-by-genocide and egregious Apartheid.
(viii). the “International Convention on the Suppression and Punishment of the Crime of Apartheid”. Rejected by Apartheid Israel and by its consequently pro-Apartheid Western supporters including Australia; Occupied Palestinians are excluded from voting for the government ruling them.
(ix). the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW). Humanity is existentially threatened by nuclear weapons; a nuclear terrorist Apartheid Israel rejects the TPNW, has 90 nuclear weapons according to the Nobel Prize-winning and Melbourne-founded ICAN plus submarine and missile delivery systems.
(x). International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (serial criminal Apartheid Israel rejects the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their Homeland as decreed by International Law while operating on a genocidally racist Law of Return allowing and encouraging of Jews-only colonization of an increasingly ethnically cleansed Palestine.
(xi). UNGA and UNSC Resolutions. Numerous UNGA and UNSC Resolutions rejected by criminal Apartheid Israel.
(xii) The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Occupied Palestinians are excluded from all 30 Articles by Apartheid Israel.
(xiii). The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (profoundly and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel objects to Article 22 that allows for reference of complaints to the International Court of Justice);
(xiv). The 1926 Slavery Convention or the Convention to Suppress the Slave Trade and Slavery. The slave trade was defined as including all acts involved in the capture, acquisition or disposal of a person with intent to reduce him to slavery; Apartheid Israel is a signatory but ruthlessly exploits the cheap labour of utterly impoverished Occupied Palestinians, noting that the per capita GDP (nominal) is about $3,400 for Occupied Palestinians versus $55,400 for Israel proper).
(xv). The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. Humanity is existentially threatened by climate change; mendacious Apartheid Israel is a formal signatory but its intention to exploit huge gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean will void this commitment because exploitation of gas (mostly methane, CH4) is worse greenhouse gas (GHG)-wise than exploiting coal.
(xvi). “Love thy neighbour as thyself”. This is the core humane “meme” of Humanity as asserted by the wonderful Jewish Palestinian humanitarian Jesus (but comprehensively rejected by nuclear terrorist and genocidally racist Apartheid Israel).
(xvii). Human Rights Council. In the decade between June 2006 and June 2016, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted 135 resolutions criticizing countries for human rights abuses; 68 out of those 135 were against Israel (more than 50%).
(xviii). World opinion. From 2012 to 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a total of 97 resolutions criticizing countries; 83 out of those 97 have been against Israel (86%). Decent Humanity is presently horrified by the Zionist Israeli mass murder of children, mother, women and men and what appears to be a US and Zionist Israeli plan to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza [20].
(e). Zionism, Zionist. British Zionism was supposedly founded by British genocidally racist psychopath Benjamin Disraeli who embraced ruthless capitalist, colonialist and imperialist policies that led to the Irish Famine, horrific famines in India, and the genocide of millions from the Americas to Australia. European Zionism was founded by Hungarian genocidally racist psychopath Theodor Herzl. He considered Argentina as an alternative to Palestine as a Jewish State (it was vastly larger and the Spanish settlers had largely exterminated the Indigenous inhabitants). However oil was discovered in Iran in 1908, Britain and France wanted to seize the Middle East, and the 1917 Balfour Declaration to grant Palestine to the Zionists was made in an attempt to get Russian Zionists to keep Russia in WW1. In the 1948 Nakba (Catastrophe) the British armed and trained Zionist terrorists seized 78% of Palestine, emptied 530 villages and expelled 800,000 Indigenous Palestinians or 60% of the Palestinian population. Further ethnic cleansing occurred in 1967 Naksa (Setback) when the Zionists seized all of Palestine plus other Arab lands and expelled a further 400,000 inhabitants to make way for illegal Zionist settlements.
Now in the Gaza Genocide Gaza has been demolished, 680,000 Gazans killed (mostly children), nearly all Gazans are homeless and being ordered to move from place to place, and the Zionist-perverted US and US-backed Apartheid Israel openly tout total ethnic cleansing of Gaza with the West Bank suffering remorseless dispossession by the Zionists. Zionism has always meant invasion, occupation, dispossession and ethnic cleansing [18-20]. Apartheid Israel wants the land of Palestine as well as neighbouring lands with the Indigenous Semitic inhabitants to be expelled, killed or confined to concentration camps like Gaza was for 58 years. Zionism is genocidal racism and essentially Nazism without gas chambers but with ethnic cleansing of Palestine, devastation of regional countries, 90 nuclear weapons, and one of the world’s largest high technology militaries and military industries [21-23]. There is a shocking detailed list of 52 Zionist- and Apartheid Israeli-Nazi Germany comparisons [24, 25]. Racist Zionists from genocidal psychopath Theodor Herzl to International Criminal Court (ICC)-sought genocidal psychopath and child killing mass murderer Benjamin Netanyahu have explicitly demanded ethnic cleansing of Palestine [26].
(f). Gaza Massacre, Gaza Genocide, Genocide. From data published by expert epidemiologists and published in the leading medical journal The Lancet, it was estimated that as of 25 April 2025 Gaza deaths from violence (136,000) and imposed deprivation (544,000 or 4 times greater than violent deaths) totalled 680,000. Infants are highly vulnerable and thus under-5 infant deaths are about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries [27]. Gaza under-5 infant deaths totalled 380,000 by 25 April 2025. Violent deaths were 34.9% children, 22.8% women and 42.3% men [28]. The 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation as of 25 April 2025 included 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men [8, 9, 29, 30]. As of 25 April 2025 about 28% of the pre-war population of 2.4 million had been killed, noting that the Nazis killed 28% of the pre-war Jewish population of Hungary (my people) in 1944-1945.
Article 2 of the Genocide Convention defines genocide thus: “In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a). Killing members of the group; (b). Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c). Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d). Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e). Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group” [31]. The world is witnessing an ongoing Gaza Genocide and the Gaza Genocide-complicit US vetoes any action by the UN Security Council.
(g). Child Killing, Child Abuse. As of 25 April 2025 (around the time of a temporary and Zionist-violated ceasefire), Gaza child deaths totalled 479,000 and under-5 infant deaths totalled 380,000. The rate of killing of children as “Child deaths per year” has been 371,000 (Gaza) versus 250,000 (Jewish children killed by the Nazis). “Children killed as a % of total people killed” has been 55.5% (Gaza) versus 25% (Jewish children as a % of Jews killed by the Nazis). Australia is second only to the US as a fervent supporter of Apartheid Israel and is complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways. Expert surveying has shown that 50% of Israeli children suffer physical, psychological or sexual abuse, with 18% suffering child sexual abuse. 18% of Americans and 25% of Australians have suffered child sexual abuse. One supposes that mass murder of children by Zionist Israelis or support for such genocidal and paedocidal racism by the US and Australia is connected to this ongoing epidemic of child sexual abuse in these morally degenerate, Zionist-perverted countries. Further, innocent Jewish children in the US, Apartheid Israel, Australia and the US Alliance are brainwashed by Zionist teachers into accepting the rightness of invading, devastating and ethnic cleansing of Palestine and neighbouring Arab lands (intellectual child abuse inflicted on innocent Jewish children by Nazi supremacist-style and genocidally racist Zionist teachers who can most accurately be described as Zionazis) [32].
(h). World War 2 holocausts. Australia belongs to the anti- Semitic, holocaust-denying, violently racist and all-European International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance IHRA) and the ZAP wants its foul, free speech-violating agenda adopted throughout Zionist-violated Australia. The IHRA definition of anti-Semitism is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian, Arab and Muslim critics of genocidally racist Apartheid Israel as assertedly “anti-Semitic” ) and holocaust denying by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed), notably (deaths from violence and imposed deprivation in brackets) the WW2 Polish Holocaust (6 million), WW2 Sinti and Roma Holocaust (1 million), WW2 Soviet Holocaust (23 million), WW2 European Holocaust (30 million), WW2 Chinese Holocaust (35-40 million), WW2 Bengali Holocaust (Indian Holocaust, and WW2 Bengal Famine; 6-7 million Indians deliberately starved to death for strategic reasons in Bengal, Bihar, Assam and Odisha by the British with food-denying Australian complicity). Indeed the IHRA and the ZAP recognize only one holocaust (The Holocaust, the WW2 Jewish Holocaust) and ignore some 70 genocide and holocaust atrocities. The WW2 Bengali Holocaust was the first WW2 atrocity to have been described as a holocaust [18, 27, 33-38].
(i). Racism, Racist, Genocidal Racism. War is the penultimate in racism and genocide the ultimate in racism. Apartheid Israel has invaded the territory of about 14 countries, Australia 85, the UK 193 and the US 72 [39]. In many cases the invasions have been genocidal as defined by the UN Genocide Convention. Thus one can legitimately talk of the Iraqi Holocaust, the Afghan Holocaust, the Palestinian Genocide and the ongoing Gaza Genocide [18, 27, 33-36]. The “intent to destroy in whole or in part” of Article 2 of the Genocide Convention is established by long-standing deadly violence or deadly colonial or neocolonial hegemony (e.g. the 20 year Afghan Holocaust in which 6.8 million Afghans died from violence and imposed deprivation). In some cases “intent” has been documented. Thus, for example, famed anti-racist Jewish American scholar Professor Jeffrey Sachs has reported how Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and top US war-making official, Jewish Zionist Paul Wolfowitz, planned the invasion and devastation of the Iraqi Holocaust [40]. Similarly senior US commander General Wesley Clark revealed being informed in November 2021 of the Pentagon plan to destroy countries: “There were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran ” (all have been devastated with Iran having suffered deadly sanctions for 45 years being finally devastatingly bombed by Apartheid Israel and the US in 2025) [41].
(j). Anti-Jewish anti-Semitism, Anti-Arab anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism exists in 2 equally repugnant forms, anti-Arab anti-Semitism (against 300 million ethnically and culturally Semitic Arabs and 2,000 million mainly culturally Semitic Muslims, the latter being also known as Islamophobia) and anti-Jewish anti-Semitism (against 18 million mainly culturally Semitic Jews). Most Jews are Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews that descend from non-Semitic Turkic Khazar converts to Judaism in Southern Russia in the 9th century CE [42- 48]. I come from a famous Ashkenazi Jewish Hungarian family (ask any mathematician or surgeon) and have had my DNA analysed: I am mostly Ashkenazi Jewish but with zero (0) Middle Eastern (i.e. Semitic) contribution.
(k). Anti-racist Jews, Anti-Zionist Jews. Anti-racist Jews are the very best of Jews and support Palestinians human rights but are subject to utterly awful vilification by Zionists as “self-hating Jews”, “self-loathing Jews” or “Jew-hating Jews” [5, 6, 14].
(l). Intimidation, Persecution, Defamation, Defamation of anti-racist Jews and non-Jews, Mc Carthyism, Zionist McCarthyism. Zionism is criminal settler colonialism and involves genocidal racism, egregious lying and remorseless theft of property and indeed of country. Anti-racist Jews are falsely defamed by Zionists who falsely conflate Apartheid Israel with all Jews. The stock Zionist response to humane critics is to simply accuse them of “antisemitism”. In vain decent people argue that “anti-Zionism is not antisemitism” and that “anti-Israel is not antisemitism”. This foul “antisemitism” canard by mendacious Zionists was successful in politically destroying Jeremy Corbyn, the most anti-racist UK Labour leader ever. Despite opposition from the Zionist-defamed Jewish Council of Australia, lawyers and human rights advocates it presently seems likely that the cowardly and Zionist-subverted Labor Government will apply the false IHRA definition of antisemitism and embark on massive intimidation, persecution and defamation of decent Australians in a Zionist McCarthyist state.
A scholar for 65 years, the author of 1,000 humanitarian articles and 10 huge books I have been rendered largely invisible to Mainstream Australia through 15 years of Zionist defamation [6]. I am proud to have defended in writing some 40 Australians subject to intimidation and censorship, mainly by Zionists with a fervent loyalty to an Australia-violating foreign state, Apartheid Israel: Mary Kostakidis, Essam Al-Ghalib, Scott McIntyre, Yassmin Abdel-Magied, Mike Carlton, Dr Sandra Nasr, Dr Jake Lynch, Professor Stuart Rees, Professor Richard Hil, Sir Isaac Isaacs, Professor Peter Singer, pro-Palestinian human rights protesters, Jordy Silverstein, Donald Myers, Jason Gilham, Stan Grant, Nour Hardar, Michelle Guthrie, Emma Alberici, Professor Eva Cox, Julian Assange, Miriam Margolyes, Professor Dennis Altman, Shaoquett Moselmane, Senator Sam Dastyari, Alan Seymour, Melissa Parke, Paul Gilby, Allan Jasson, Senator Lidia Thorpe, Senator Fatima Payman, Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Senator Sue Lines, the Jewish Council of Australia, Sarah Schwartz, Dr Max Kaiser, Wilfred Burchett, John Pilger, Louise Adler and Antony Loewenstein. I have also variously defended and espoused overseas humanitarians, notably Susan Abulhawa, Mohammed Al-Kurd, Dr Joy Karega, Jeremy Corbyn and indeed a huge body of anti-racist Jews and anti-racist non-Jews opposed to genocidally racist Zionism (Zionazism) [49] and subjected to Zionist McCarthyism [50].
(m). Mass murder. The 680,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 25 April 2025 included deaths of about 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men [8, 9].
(n). Palestinian Genocide, Palestinian Holocaust, Muslim Holocaust, Muslim Genocide. The century-long Palestinian Genocide has been associated with 2.7 million Palestinian deaths from British and Zionazi violence, 0.2 million, and imposed deprivation (2.5 million) [8, 9]. The carnage of the Palestinian Genocide is now of the same order of magnitude as that of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million Jews killed by Nazi violence and imposed deprivation) [51-53] and merits the description as a Palestinian Holocaust. In the Zionist-backed US War on Terror about 32 million Muslims have died in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 Americans.
(o). Occupation, 2-state solution, 1-state solution, no-state solution, Gaza Concentration Camp, Right to defend. The Occupied Palestinians have been subject to illegal Occupation for 58 years by a genocidally racist foreign state, Zionazi Apartheid Israel. Under the Occupation Occupied Palestinians have zero human rights under Zionazi military rule and are confined to the Gaza Concentration Camp or ever-dwindling West Bank ghettoes. Decent anti-racists advocate a 1-state solution involving a secular, one-state democracy with peace, justice, reconciliation, zero tolerance for racism, and equal rights for everyone. The Zionist-perverted West has adopted the manifestly unworkable 2-state solution as a fig-leaf to cover its racism, anti-Arab anti-Semitism and moral degeneracy: the Palestinian half of the present Subjects of Apartheid Israel to be confined to a military-guarded Bantustan , a Zionazi-guarded 10% of Palestine. The genocidally racist Zionazis reject both 1-state and 2-state plans and insist on the present no-state plan in which the Zionists rule all of Palestine (plus some neighbouring lands) with the Palestinians confined to concentration camps like the 58-year duration Gaza Concentration Camp.
(p). War crimes, Urbicide. International Law, the UNSC, the ICC and ICJ condemn the war criminal illegality of the Occupation, the Gaza Genocide, utter deprivation and starvation of the Gazans and the utterly appalling total destruction of huge, ancient and culturally super-important Gaza that compares to the urbicides of the Mongols and of the Nazis (notably the Warsaw Ghetto, Warsaw, and Stalingrad [53, 54].
(q). Exceptionalism, Zionist Exceptionalism. Since acquiring nuclear weapons by the mid-1960s Apartheid Israel has been able to do anything it wants and indeed has become the tail wagging the American dog. Zionazi exceptionalism is illustrated by its litany of human rights-violating crimes as set out in the present J’accuse. Just one example will suffice here to quantitatively address this racist Zionist exceptionalism, namely the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio in the ongoing Gaza Massacre. 1, 139 Israelis were killed in the 7 October 2023 Occupied Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp and the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio has been (so far) 680,000/1,139 = 597 or about 60 times greater than the Reprisals Death Ratio of 10 ordered by Hitler and immediately effected in the Ardeatine Cave Massacre in Rome in 1944. However if we conservatively assume that the massive firepower of the responding IDF killed half of these Israelis (i.e. 570) then the Occupied/Occupier Reprisals Death Ratio is 680,000/570 = 1,193 or 119 times greater than the 10 ordered by Nazi mass murderer Hitler.
(r). Zionism, Zionist. An extraordinary absence from the ZAP is any mention of Zionism or Zionists. Zionism is rejected by true Orthodox Judaism (Jews can only return to Zion after the Messiah arrives to declare the glory of the Lord to the whole world).
(s). Lying by omission, Lying by commission, Falsehood, Lying, Deception. Nobody likes to be deceived but lying by omission, lying by commission, falsehood, lying, and deception are the sine qua non of Zionism. Kindness and Truth are the key values of decent Humanity but this is rejected by the genocidal racism, egregious mendacity and remorseless thieving of Zionazi Apartheid Israel. These terms relating to lying are absent from the ZAP. The Zionist-perverted Australian Labor Government and the even more fervently Zionist Coalition Opposition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [60, 61] and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways [62, 63]. Set out below are these 35 lies:
(1) “Israel is a Jewish state”.:
(2) “Israel is a democracy”.
(3) “Israel is a liberal democracy”.
(4) “Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East”.
(5) “Israel has the most moral army”.
(6) “Israel is the home of the Jewish people”.
(7) “Israel is not an apartheid state”.
(8) “ The WW2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed) described as The Holocaust”.
(9) The lies involved in falsely weaponizing “anti-Semitism”.
(10) The lies involved in falsely weaponizing the “Jewish Holocaust” against humane critics of Apartheid Israel.
(11) The lies involved in supporting the all-European, anti-Jewish anti-Semitic, anti-Arab anti-Semitic and holocaust-denying “International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA).
(12) The lies involved in supporting the “IHRA definition of antisemitism”.
(13) The lie involved in conflating “Zionism” “Israel” and the “State of Israel” with “all Jews”.
(14) “Anti-Zionism is antisemitism”.
(15) “Israel-Nazi comparison is antisemitism”.
(16) “Asserting that comments on “Jewish wealth” are anti-Semitic”.
(17) “Pejorative noting of “Jewish support for Israel” is anti-Semitic”.
(18) “Support for “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” (BDS) against Apartheid Israel and all its supporters is anti-Semitic”.
(19) “Supporting boycotts of Zionist businesses is akin to the Nazi “boycott of Jewish businesses”.
(20) “Asserting “Jewish influence” and “Jewish power” is anti-Semitic”.
(21) “Jews have a “right to Palestine””.
(22) “Zionist Israeli assertion that “Hamas is a terrorist organization”[Hamas is violent and killed perhaps 500 Israelis in the 7 October 2025 Breakout but US-backed Apartheid Israel subsequently killed 680,000 Gazans, mostly children: terrorist is as terrorist does; the African National Congress headed by Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela was a US-declared terrorist organization until 2008].
(23) ““Hamas terrorist massacre” and “Hamas massacre of children” on 7 October 2023”.
(24) “Opposing a “Jewish state” in Palestine is anti-Semitic”.
(25) ““Palestine” and “Palestinians” do not exist”.
(26) “As an Occupying Power “Israel has the right to defend itself” in the Occupied Palestinian Territories”.
(27 “Palestinian armed resistance is unlawful and terrorism”.
(28) “Israel is civilized”.
(29) ““Hamas is barbaric” and “Palestinians are barbaric””.
(30) The descriptive “Palestinian Territories” [instead of the correct “Occupied Palestinian Territories”].
(31) “Use of the term “final solution” is anti-Semitic”.
(32) “Israeli settlements are legal”.
(33) The lie of a “two-state solution” [that is now dead because 90% of Palestine has been ethnically cleansed of Indigenous Palestinians and the Zionazis reject it anyway].
(34) “Anti-Semitism” and “antisemitism” only refer to anti-Jewish prejudice”
(35) The massive lying by Zionists and pro-Zionists that almost completely ignores and/or falsely defames “anti-racist Jews” [the best of Jews and Humanity] [62, 63].
(9). While ignoring genocidal Zionist Israeli atrocities, the ZAP has an “antisemitism hysteria” message of asserted “hate” and “threat”.
The ZAP totally ignores the horrific and ongoing Gaza Genocide (680,000 dead from violence and imposed deprivation with this including 380,000 under-5 year old infants, 479,000 children in total, 63,000 women and 138,000 men), the century-long Palestinian Genocide (2.7 million killed through violence, 0.2 million, and imposed deprivation, 2.5 million), and horrendous century-long abuse of Indigenous Palestinians that inevitably would evoke anti-Zionist and anti-Israel hostility among decent, sane human beings. However the ZAP ignores these atrocities and indeed the large total of related terms set out in (8) above, and instead it indulges in “antisemitism hysteria”, variously referring without any explicit examples to “hate” and synonyms 23 times and to “threat” and synonyms 27 times [1] .
(10). The ZAP demands that Australians and Australian institutions adopt the antisemitic and holocaust-denying IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism.
The all-European, nuclear terrorist and largely genocide-complicit International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) of which Australia is a member has promulgated a highly flawed definition of antisemitism that has been rejected by numerous scholars and notably rejected by over 40 anti-racist Jewish groups. The IHRA is anti-Jewish anti-Semitic and anti-Arab anti-Semitic (by falsely defaming anti-racist Jewish, Palestinian Arab and Muslim critics of the appalling crimes of Apartheid Israel as assertedly “antisemitic”) and is holocaust denying (by ignoring all WW2 holocausts other than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust, and indeed ignoring some 70 genocides and holocausts) [55-59].
While the Zionist-perverted Coalition and Labor were happy for Australia to join the all-European, nuclear terrorist and largely genocide-complicit International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), some universities and some state governments were hesitant. The Zionist won a great victory by getting Universities Australia (UA) and the Big 8 of Australia’s 43 Australian universities to adopt a version of the IHRA definition of antisemitism but other universities remained cool (after all, the core rule of academia is zero tolerance for lying).
Nevertheless Australia’s 39 taxpayer-funded universities are likely to endorse a highly controversial new definition of antisemitism that was drafted by leaders from the Group of Eight (GoE), Australia’s top universities, and it is expected to be enforced on all campuses. It is likely that the several private Australian universities will follow suit. This despicable Action threatens the free speech of academics and students that is the core ethos of decent universities [64-68]. The essence of the definition adopted by Australia’s universities is as follows: “Antisemitism is discrimination, prejudice, harassment, exclusion, vilification, intimidation or violence that impedes Jews’ ability to participate as equals in educational, political, religious, cultural, economic or social life. Criticism of Israel can be antisemitic when it is grounded in harmful tropes, stereotypes or assumptions and when it calls for the elimination of the State of Israel or all Jews or when it holds Jewish individuals or communities responsible for Israel’s actions. For most, but not all Jewish Australians, Zionism is a core part of their Jewish identity. Substituting the word ‘Zionist’ for ‘Jew’ does not eliminate the possibility of speech being antisemitic” [66].
This false, censoring and intimidating Action already threatened the free speech of academics and students, and was set to impact negatively on the reputations of all past, present and future staff and students of Australia’s 39 taxpayer-funded universities. Indeed it threatened Australia’s A$40 billion per annum Education Export Industry that is crucial for the funding of Australia’s universities. The Jewish Council of Australia: “The Jewish Council of Australia strongly opposes the antisemitism definition developed by the Group of Eight (Go8) universities and adopted by Universities Australia. By categorising Palestinian political expression as inherently antisemitic, it will be unworkable and unenforceable, and stifle critical political debate, which is at the heart of any democratic society” [66]. In vain I have argued for 25 Years that “we should publicly insist that universities that constrain free speech are not fit for our children” [69].
Indeed in 2013 a major Coalition politician foreshadowed that under a Coalition Government any federal funding would be denied to any individuals or organizations insufficiently supportive of Apartheid Israel. However when a right-wing Coalition was returned to power in 2013 it preferred to operate covertly rather than explicitly legislating for persecution of anti-Zionist Australians. Cowardly and US- and Zionist-perverted Labor was similarly cautious because decent anti-racist Australian voters who prefer Centre-Right Labor to the Right-Far Right Coalition might have no choice but to leave Labor over this and vote for the Centre-Left Greens.
However during the Gaza Genocide the Zionist-perverted Labor Government sought to hide the horrific Zionist Israeli atrocities by joining with the Coalition and Zionists in a campaign of “antisemitism hysteria” and “terror hysteria”. Indeed in response to a “threat” to Jews (that turned out to be a hoax by organized crime) Labor and the Coalition rushed through legislating mandatory minimum imprisonment of 6 years and 1 year for “terrorism-related” and asserted “hate speech-related” matters, respectively [70]. Law Council of Australia president Juliana Warner warned that the changes could “risk serious injustice” and were not backed by security and law enforcement agencies. She further stated: “Mandatory sentencing laws are arbitrary and limit the individual’s right to a fair trial by preventing judges from imposing a just penalty based on the unique circumstances of each offence and offender. Judges are best placed to determine the appropriate and just penalty under these laws on an individual, case-by-case basis” [71].
State and Federal Labor Governments have not only sought to hide the Gaza Genocide by a campaign of “asntisemitism hysteria”, they have prosecuted Palestinians and pro-Palestinians for exercising “free speech” while ignoring about 10,000 Jewish Israelis entering Australia and variously linked to the mass murder of children and mothers in the ongoing Gaza Genocide. Indeed before the release of the ZAP I consulted a lawyer about my position as a strong critic of child- and mother-killing Zionazi Apartheid Israel. My lawyer felt that I was OK because I was a former academic and a widely published scholar and intellectual. Accordingly he felt that persecuting me would be too much trouble for the pro-Zionist Australian authorities, but stated that all other Australians should beware. However the persecution of outstanding and courageous Australian journalists Mary Kostakidis and Antoinette Lattouf does not give me much confidence about free speech in Australia.
Now the ZAP demands that all Australians (notably students, teachers, academics, scholars, artists, writers, arts workers, journalists, and politicians) and all Australian institutions in general (notably schools, universities, research institutes, hospitals, state and Federal government departments, charities and media, including the ABC, SBS and other broadcasters) adopt the antisemitic and holocaust-denying IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance) definition of antisemitism or face punitive action including cessation of government funding [1]. All those not adhering to this ZAP demand (including immigration and visa applicants) will be identified by exhaustive surveillance and duly punished.
This is no less than an attack on thoughtful Australia by Zionist McCarthyism in the interests of a genocidally racist, egregiously mendacious, relentlessly thieving and Australia-violating Apartheid rogue state. The fervently Zionist Coalition Opposition and the cowardly, Zionist-subverted Labor Government approve and in my view are utterly unfit for public office. Thoughtful Australia is being ZAPPED in an appalling Zionist coup d'état.
Academic Na’ama Carlin: “Much ink has already been spilled on antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal’s plan to combat antisemitism most of it critical. From monitoring the media, to threatening to strip funding from universities, to citizenship and immigration, to international and diplomatic relations, no-one is exempt. In its blatant demand to surveil public institutions, the plan also mobilises the widely contested International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism. The definition gives 11 examples of antisemitism, seven of which pertain to Israel. Claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavour, or drawing comparisons of Israeli policy to that of the Nazis, are included among the examples. Materially, this means that an academic could face antisemitism charges for teaching about Israeli apartheid, or the series of Israeli laws that discriminate against Palestinian citizens of Israel, or Israel’s plans to forcibly move Gaza’s population in camps, or the calls to exterminate Palestinians that reverberate in the Israeli press and the Knesset. The IHRA definition has become so widely weaponised that even its original drafter has taken every opportunity to call it out — as have legal and civil society institutions, leading scholars in antisemitism, Jewish groups, leading international, Jewish and Israeli scholars in Holocaust and Jewish Studies and Middle East Studies, UN special rapporteurs, and Palestinian and Arab academics and students” [72].
Final comments and conclusions.
I sent the following Letter to major Australian media: “My father was a scholarly Jewish refugee from fascist Hungary. The first songs in primary school were “God save the King” and an anti-Jewish song “Balls to Mr Finkelstein”. I first discovered the fate of my Jewish relatives when I asked my parents about the 4-digit tattoo on the arm of a family friend. However as a patriotic Australian child I was disbelieving when my father said that it could happen in Australia. It has begun, with the Coalition and Labor approving Zionist McCarthyism to be foisted on all Australians including anti-racist Jewish Australians by fanatics with a fervent loyalty to Australia-violating Apartheid Israel. I was always well aware of racism including anti-Jewish anti-Semitism in Australia. Indeed in 1963 I and my Black girl friend (later my wife for 52 years) were refused entry by a Hobart trolley driver (however the passengers indignantly forced him to take us). My non-Jewish Queensland relatives totally ignored us. An anti-racist and anti-apartheid Jewish Australian, I have been damagingly defamed by Zionists for 15 years. This year I was the only one not invited to an important family anniversary function. Will Australians support anti-racist decency like the Hobart trolley passengers?”
Anti-Zionist Jewish groups have condemned the Zionist Antisemitism Plan (ZAP) as authoritarian [73]. All Australians must strongly resist this Trumpist Zionist attack on the free speech and human rights of all Australians. Decent people around the world must apply rigorous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions against mother- and child-killing Apartheid Israel and all its genocidally racist supporters. After the 1960 Sharpeville massacre in which 69 Africans were killed, the world imposed ultimately successful sanctions on Apartheid South Africa. It should do likewise over genocidal apartheid Israel. The toll of 680,000 Gazans killed by April 25, 2025, is nearly 10,000 times the number of people killed in the Sharpeville Massacre [10, 74-76].
In Australia decent folk must put the Zionist-perverted Coalition last and Zionist-subverted Labor second last in Australia’s preferential voting system. Zionism is Nazism without gas chambers but with 90 nuclear weapons and genocide by high technology bombs and mass starvation. All those supporting Apartheid Israel and hence the vile crime of Apartheid are utterly unfit for decent company, public life and public office.
