Australia’s plan to adopt definitions of racism amounts to enforcing Zionism

By Alana Lentin August 6, 2026 5

In response to the Bondi Beach attack, there is a push in Australia to adopt definitions of racism, including antisemitism. We must reject this effort because its ultimate goal is to criminalize anti-Zionism and to further settler colonialism.
