APAN - Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, is fighting for its right to be anti-Semitic. this is the first paragraph of their weekly email; " This week we’ve seen another escalation in the attack against academic freedom and campus activism. From threats of disciplinary action against pro-Palestinian students and staff, to politicians pushing Australian universities to adopt the inappropriate and inaccurate IHRA definition of antisemitism, the attempt to shut down pro-Palestinian activism on campuses is far from over. " Over the past 9 months they have been one of the loudest anti-Semitic organisations. And they have the tenacity and arrogance to dictate what is and isn't antisemitism. Nothing in the definition prevents them for fighting for Gaza, for standing up for the Palestinians, and to call for end to violence. See what is prevents them from doing, and you'll see why they so eager to cancel it. The cynical use of western values to target western values isn't limited to just attacking Jews, it never stops with us. https://lnkd.in/gnK4Cpkz

Tackling #LazyRacism: Emphasizing #FactBasedLearning in Professional Dialogues 🌐 In a recent discussion about my homeland, Zimbabwe, I encountered a striking example of what I call “lazy racism” - a form of prejudice not grounded in fact but in a blatant disregard for seeking knowledge. This goes beyond simple ignorance; it reflects a deeper reluctance to engage with the wealth of information at our fingertips. 🚫🔍 Zimbabwe, often a focal point in my narratives, especially regarding my desire to return, has been subjected to questions about its safety based on unfounded stereotypes. The assumption that Zimbabweans flee to other countries by boat is a clear misconception, given that Zimbabwe is landlocked. This highlights a significant gap in basic geographical knowledge and a missed opportunity for factual engagement. 🇿🇼✈️ The conversation extended into an impromptu lesson on Zimbabwe’s history, geography, and its complex relationship with the United Kingdom, transforming misinformation into an educational moment. This wasn’t just about correcting false narratives; it was about challenging the underlying attitudes that perpetuate them. 🌍📚 This incident underscores a critical message for our professional community: before we voice opinions or attempt humor based on stereotypes, let’s ensure our comments are anchored in reality. Spreading baseless assumptions not only misrepresents facts but can also alienate and offend, undermining the very essence of professional respect and integrity. 👩🏫🚫 In an era where information is more accessible than ever, choosing ignorance is a deliberate decision. As professionals, we have a responsibility to promote informed discussions, respect cultural differences, and foster an inclusive environment. Let this be a call to action to prioritize accuracy, embrace curiosity, and support a culture of continuous learning and respect. 🌟💼 Let’s use this as an opportunity to learn, grow, and lead by example in our global professional network. #ProfessionalGrowth #CulturalIntelligence #InclusiveLeadership #GlobalAwareness #ZimbabweAwareness

Despite repeated reports warning of the antisemitism in United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) schools, the UN agency continues to employ teachers who spread hate and teach hateful and inciting content to children, according to a new report by UN Watch and IMPACT-SE published on Tuesday. The report included 100 pages of evidence showing examples of hate and incitement to violence spread by UNRWA teachers and schools. The organizations compiled the evidence by searching through the Facebook profiles of confirmed UNRWA employees and collecting photos from inside UNRWA classrooms and UNRWA-created material distributed online. The organizations noted that they only checked Facebook profiles that they could verify as being of UNRWA employees, meaning that the actual number of employees spreading hateful messages is likely higher. Additional verified employees also share the hateful content created by other employees. "Were UNRWA itself to examine its employees, on and off Facebook and other social media platforms, it can reasonably be estimated that thousands of UNRWA employees would be implicated in supporting hate or violence," noted the organizations in the report.
