For close to a year we at AJDS have been working with Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) on a joint statement on antisemitism and the criticism of Israel. It’s been an amazing and sometimes challenging undertaking, to really engage and critically talk through what antisemitism is, as well as the ways antisemitism has been used as a tool to silence Palestinians and calls for Palestinian justice.
Join the launch of our joint statement, the accumulation of this work, and webinar with 4 incredible quest speakers.
