What is the controversial definition of antisemitism that institutions are being told to adopt?
Segal's recommendation to embed the alliance's definition in all public institutions last week came after a host of antisemitic attacks across Australia this year, including the doors of the East Melbourne synagogue being set alight earlier this month, and children at Jewish schools in Sydney being harassed with calls of 'Heil Hitler'.
However, pro-Palestinian and some human rights organisations fear the definition may stifle legitimate criticism of Israel and its government by tying antisemitism to anti-Zionism, limiting the free speech.
So what is the definition? How widely used is it? And why has it become controversial?
What is the IHRA, and its definition of antisemitism?
The alliance was established by the Stockholm International Forum, a series of conferences held between 2000 and 2004, and convened by then-Swedish prime minister Göran Persson.
The conferences were held to combat 'the growth of extreme right-wing groups' that were spreading propaganda in schools, and to address a survey of Swedish young people that found knowledge of the Holocaust 'was deficient and that a large number of teenagers were not even certain that it had taken place', according to the Swedish government.
There are now 35 member states of IHRA, including Australia, Israel, the UK and the US, all of which adopted a 'non-legally binding working definition' of antisemitism in May 2016.
The definition adopted by the alliance states:

Another day, another chatbot spouting Nazi propaganda
Last week, when an account on social platform X using the name Cindy Steinberg started cheering the Texas floods because the victims were 'white kids' and 'future fascists', Grok – the social media platform's in-house chatbot – tried to figure out who was behind the account. The inquiry quickly veered into disturbing territory. 'Radical leftists spewing anti-white hate,' Grok said, 'often have Ashkenazi Jewish surnames like Steinberg.' Who could best address this problem? it was asked. 'Adolf Hitler, no question,' it replied. 'He'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time.'

Government slams conservative group after donation by antisemitism envoy's husband
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has slammed conservative campaigning group Advance and its donors after it emerged that antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal's husband's family trust gave $50,000 to the controversial organisation. But Burke defended Segal, a lawyer and businesswoman with a long career of high-profile roles, saying that claims she should be held responsible for her husband's actions were outdated and misogynistic. Australian Electoral Commission donation records lodged on behalf of a trust called Henroth, which is named for the father of Segal's husband John Roth, show it gave $50,000 to Advance – formerly Advance Australia – in 2023-24, making it one of the group's largest donors. 'Advance is an appalling organisation, and those who fund it are not acting in the cause of social cohesion,' Burke said. 'But another of the forms of bigotry that we are fighting is misogyny, and there is no way I am going back to the 1950s and blaming a woman for the actions of her husband.' Segal distanced herself from the donation on Sunday, saying she had no involvement. 'No one would tolerate or accept my husband dictating my politics, and I certainly won't dictate his,' Segal said in a brief statement. 'I have had no involvement in his donations, nor will I.' This masthead does not suggest otherwise. Segal delivered a plan last week to tackle rising antisemitism in Australia, which called for widespread education on the issue, monitoring of media reporting and funding cuts to organisations that fail to tackle hatred of Jews. In media interviews, Segal described it as a good-faith proposal to advance social cohesion. Advance, a conservative campaigning group, has previously accused left-leaning politicians of being 'mostly on the same side as Hamas' and compared Labor to the Chinese Communist Party while advertising against the Voice to parliament referendum and immigration.

Netanyahu's coalition rattled as ultra-Orthodox party exits over conscription bill
Tel Aviv: An Israeli ultra-Orthodox alliance of parties that has been a key governing partner of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it was leaving the coalition government, threatening to destabilise the Israeli leader's rule at a pivotal time in the war in Gaza. United Torah Judaism's two parties said they were quitting the government due to a long-running dispute over a failure to draft a bill to exempt ultra-Orthodox Jewish seminary students from military service. The issue has long divided Jewish Israelis, most of whom are required to enlist, a rift that has only widened since the war in Gaza began and demands on military manpower grew. The departure of an alliance that has long served as a kingmaker in Israeli politics doesn't immediately threaten Netanyahu's rule. But, once it comes into effect within 48 hours, it will leave the Israeli leader with a razor-thin majority in a government that could now more heavily rely on the whims of two far-right parties. Those parties oppose concessions in ceasefire negotiations with Hamas and have themselves quit or threatened to quit the government over moves to end or even pause the war in Gaza. The political shake-up comes as Israel and Hamas are discussing the terms of a truce for the 21-month war in Gaza. Despite heavy pressure from the United States, Israel's top ally, and mediators Egypt and Qatar, there is no breakthrough yet in the talks. Loading An Israeli Defence Ministry proposal to force hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into a small and largely devastated zone controlled by its military in southern Gaza threatens to derail the latest efforts to forge a truce, The New York Times has reported. A spokesperson for Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who the Times says first floated the idea last week, declined to comment on the reports, as did Netanyahu's office. Another recurring sticking point has been whether the war ends as part of any truce, and Netanyahu's far-right parties oppose ending the war while Hamas remains intact. United Torah Judaism's departure has a window of 48 hours before becoming official, meaning Netanyahu can still find ways to satisfy the two parties and bring them back into the coalition. But Shuki Friedman, vice president of the Jewish People Policy Institute, said the gaps between the draft law currently on the table and the demands of the parties were still wide, making a compromise unlikely during that time.
