  • Submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence And
    Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council Submission to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security on its Review of the re-listing of al-Shabaab, Hamas’ Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas Brigades), the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) as terrorist organisations under the Criminal Code. Introduction This document forms the submission by the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) to the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security (PJCIS) on its review into the relisting of al-Shabaab, Hamas’ Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas Brigades), the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), Lashkar-e-Tayyiba (LeT) and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) as terrorist organisations under the Criminal Code 1995. This submission will focus on the relisting of Hamas’ Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, though AIJAC also strongly supports the relisting of Palestinian Islamic Jihad: It recommends that the PJCIS not disallow the listing of the Hamas Brigades. It also recommends that the PJCIS advise the Minister for Home Affairs to extend the listing of Hamas’ Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades to Hamas in its entirety. There are three reasons why AIJAC makes these recommendations: 1. There is compelling and publicly available evidence to suggest all of Hamas, not just the Hamas Brigades, is engaged in activity that meets ASIO’s criteria for selecting an organisation to be listed under the Criminal Code 1995. 2. Last year, Yahya Sinwar, a long-time leader of the Hamas Brigades, was nominated Hamas leader in Gaza. This nomination provides recent and compelling evidence that there is no separation between Hamas and the Hamas Brigades.

  • Antisemitism
    Antisemitism: A Persistent Threat to Human Rights A Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’s Global Impact following the UN’s ‘Historic’ Report ANNEX Recent Antisemitic Incidents related to COVID-19 April 2020 North America • Canada o On April 19, an online prayer service by the the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in Toronto was ‘Zoombombed’ by a number of individuals who yelled antisemitic insults at participants and used their screens to show pornography. Immigration Minister Marco Mendicino has condemned the incident saying anti-Semitism, hatred and division have no place anywhere in Canada. A Toronto police spokesperson said the incident was being investigated as a possible hate crime.1 • United States o Colorado: On November 1, 2019, the FBI arrested a 27 year-old man with white supremacist beliefs who had expressed antisemitic hatred on Facebook for attempting to bomb a synagogue in Pueblo, Colorado.2 o Massachusetts: On April 2, police discovered a homemade incendiary device at Ruth’s House, a Jewish assisted living residence in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. On April 15, police arrested John Michael Rathbun and charged him with two counts of attempted arson. It has been reported that a white supremacist organization operating on two unnamed social media platforms had specified Ruth’s House as one of two possible locations for committing a mass killing, with one user referring to it as “that jew nursing home in longmeadow massachusetts,” and that a calendar event potentially created by the same user listed April 3, 2020 as “jew killing day.”3 o Missouri: Timothy Wilson, a white supremacist who was active on two neo-Nazi channels on Telegram and had very recently posted that the COVID-19 pandemic “was engineered by Jews as a power grab,”4 was shot and killed on March 24 as FBI agents attempted to arrest him for plotting to blow up a hospital treating patients of the virus.

  • Antisemitism: a Persistent Threat to Human Rights a Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’S Global Impact Following the UN’S ‘Historic’ Report
    Antisemitism: A Persistent Threat to Human Rights A Six-Month Review of Antisemitism’s Global Impact following the UN’s ‘Historic’ Report April 2020 Summary In October 2019, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief, expressed alarm about a significant increase, since 2017, in reports of hostility, discrimination and violence motivated by antisemitism around the world.1 This report surveys antisemitic incidents that have occurred in the six months since Dr. Shaheed presented his report on the subject of antisemitism to the UN General Assembly. Alarmingly, antisemitic expression and violence appear to have persisted – and even increased – in a number of countries around the world between October and April 2020, notwithstanding efforts by governments and other stakeholders to implement Dr. Shaheed’s recommendations. The cases and trends highlighted in this report reveal that antisemitism remains a phenomenon that impairs the security and the human rights of many Jewish individuals, including the right to manifest their religion, and that it also threatens the rights of members of other minority communities and democratic societies as a whole. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, in many countries, conspiracy theories claiming that Jews or Israel engineered or are deliberately spreading the virus, as well as age-old antisemitic tropes associating Jews with disease, have been spread in traditional media and online. Occasionally, Jewish people, communities, and institutions have been subjected to antisemitic harassment and threats of violence; in a few cases, antisemitic rhetoric seems to have played an important role in motivating attempted violent attacks against sites and individuals, Jewish and non-Jewish alike.
