Australian Young Labor endorsed the IHRA working definition of antisemitism

The Zionist Federation of Australia (ZFA), with support of the Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS), the Scanlon Foundation, the Besen Family Foundation and the World Zionist Organization (WZO), commissioned the Social Research Centre (SRC) to undertake the Jewish University Experience Survey.

The aim of the survey was to understand Jewish students’ experiences of antisemitism in Australian universities.

Last weekend, Australian Young Labor endorsed the IHRA working definition of antisemitism and committed to making the movement inclusive for Jewish youth.

This decision by AYL, the largest youth political organisation in the country, will go a long way in showing young Jews who want to get involved at a campus level or beyond that the movement is a space for them. We would like to thank all the delegates for their commitment to standing with our community to say antisemitism and bigotry have no place in this country.

We also commend the Jewish and non-Jewish delegates who spoke on the motion. Read more in the Australian Jewish News.
