Antisemitism

Submitted by saranya.kundasamy on

The Sydney Jewish Museum has developed a new resource focused on antisemitism and its history, created by their team. The resource is an important project aimed at addressing a pressing issue – the rise of hatred against Jewish people in Australia and across the globe.

For this reason, the Sydney Jewish Museum has created an online platform that contains a thorough, research-based exploration of the history of antisemitism, how it manifests in contemporary society, and practical strategies to combat it.

The resource aims to equip and empower you to notice, question, and stand up to hate when you see or hear it.

You can access the resource and learn more about key terms and concepts related to antisemitism via the Sydney Jewish Museum's website

The Anti-Palestinian Racism in Schools Register was set up by the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN). The Tool is designed to collect data regarding incidents of anti-Palestinian racism, following increasing incidents of teachers, school support staff, and parents and guardians experiencing anti-Palestinian racism in schools. 

While providing a much-needed avenue for those experiencing anti-Palestinian racism in schools to share their experiences, the tool also serves to contribute to data collection efforts regarding the types and prevalence of racism in schools. 

Find out more about the Register on the APAN website.

Visit the Towards Truth online platform. 

Towards Truth is a partnership between the Indigenous Law Centre and the Public Interest Advocacy Centre. The project researches the vast body of laws and policies that have impacted people since 1788, broken down into four main themes - Country, Kinship, Law and Culture, and People. 

The project compiles:

  • laws and policies that have impacted First Nations people since 1788
  • parliamentary debates that show what the Parliament intended when those laws were passed
  • articles and reports that discuss and analyse how these laws and policies operated in practice, and 
  • case studies that show their practical effects. 

The project currently focuses on NSW, with plans to expand to other jurisdictions.
