Defining Anti-Semitism

Compromising Civil Liberties And Academic Freedom In The Service Of Occupation And Apartheid

Is there a tangible rise in anti-Semitism in Australia? What motivated this rise?
What is the history of anti-Semitism in Australia and worldwide? How connected is anti-Semitism to Zionism?
What role does the Israel (Zionist) Lobby in Australia play in influencing anti-Semitism?
What are the main concerns of the newly-endorsed definition of anti-Semitism by Universities Australia (UA)? How does it impact on academic freedom?
Are we going to see a consolidation of such a definition in the Australian legal system?

To answer all these questions and more, please join us in this in-depth discussion with Peter Slezak, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of New South Wales, Australia. A Jewish anti-Zionist and an occasional public commentator on science, philosophy, religion and politics. Author of “Spectator in the Cartesian Theatre”
