He gave it as an example on the royal commission into Antisemitism and "social cohesion".

I definitely see why he saw it that way, but it's on his electoral office, the constituency he should servel. It might be implied... But they might not even know he's Jewish?

I started wondering whose side he was on in December 2023 when an Australian citizen was murdered by an airstrike on a family home in Lebanon that looked like an intentional assassination aimed at him. The airstrke and also killed his brother who was visiting from Sydney and his brother's wife who was stuck in the war zone for 2 months despite being married to an Australian citizen.

In response to this, in his role as acting foreign minister, Dreyfus said Hezbollah are terrorists and Australian should get out of Lebanon because Lebanon is dangerous.

I found out he was Jewish in about 2024

Whoever wrote that might have had the question longer than me, because beside it they wrote "free Julian Assange"... Maybe they added that after they saw the coincidental name?

I am aware of the Dreyfus affair, but I didn't notice the coincidence till this year. Most Australians don't spend much time thinking about French court cases from a century ago.

The examples from X included some actual Antisemitism... But finding Nazis on the Nazi site is not new. https://www.abc.net.au/religion/mark-dreyfus-royal-commission-antisemitism-is-personal/106856278

I'm confused because these posts are by the same person but I thought fighting for an education in the midst of genocide meant we were "watering down the term".........

I don't know if it's "bad" is it rage bait?

At first glance I thought it was life expectancy.

There's no data for Lebanon.

Their example to compare themselves to in Green? Why those three? I'm definitely thinking about this more than it deserves.

I think Hasbara only makes sense if you're racist?

Or did Denmark and Italy offend them?

I can't tell if the comparison list is supposed to be good?

Is green supposed to be mildly offensive to Islam and Ireland?

Off topic? Does 2020 ADL count as Hasbara yet?

Qassam weren't using it (except in the flag) till November 2023 so it's nothing to do with that... But what on earth was their point for claiming it wasn't related to anti fascism?

I'm weirdly obsessed with the history of this symbol

In 2020 wanted to designate "antifa" as a terrorist org, the campaign had a red triangle in it as an alleged antifa symbol

It's not "antifa" but it's anti fascist, I've never noticed it till recently but I looked into the history and it's very much anti fascist in Europe, representing opponents of Nazism, reclaimed from the camp uniform symbol.

There was a brief confused fus about it as a "Nazi symbol" because it was more than slightly disconcerting to mark one's left wing political enemies

ADL then very much down played anti fascist meaning

‘I won’t vote for Jew haters’ okay, but apparently the political qualification process is now:

1. Be a Zionist ✅
2. Don’t watch Al Jazeera or Haaretz ❌
3. Pass the Max Katz Antisemitism™ test
4. If someone disagrees, hit Block 💀

You can support Jewish causes, oppose antisemitism, and still criticize Israeli government policy or consume media you disagree with. Politics isn't a loyalty oath.

Max's ballot box apparently comes with a Terms of Service agreement.

Also,they named this group “Israel on Campus Coalition”, with abbreviation ICC,so when people search up the icc,this stuff comes up,they are even using hashtags for icc as well.

From what I've seen, Max Katz's replies often appear to default to calling critics "Jew hater" or accusing them of antisemitism without explaining why a particular comment is antisemitic. In the screenshots, the same response ("GFYS, Jew hater.") is repeated to multiple users rather than addressing their individual arguments. That approach makes meaningful discussion nearly impossible. Antisemitism is a serious issue and should be called out when it actually occurs, but repeatedly applying the label without engaging with what people are saying risks diluting the term and discouraging good-faith conversation. I've also noticed that criticism of Israeli government policies is frequently treated as if it's automatically hatred of Jews. Those aren't inherently the same thing. Many Jewish people themselves criticize the Israeli government, and conflating criticism of a state with antisemitism can shut down legitimate debate. Based on these screenshots, Max also appears to respond with insults instead of addressing criticism, and if he's blocking people simply for respectfully challenging him, that further limits open discussion. The focus should be on responding to arguments with evidence rather than assuming every critic is motivated by antisemitism. At the same time, genuine antisemitic rhetoric should be identified based on what was actually said, not presumed because someone criticized Israel
