Conversation with Professor Peter Slezak - The new definition of anti-Semitism in Australian Universities

from Red Inverted Triangle Podcast · host RedInvertedTriangle

Peter Slezak is a Jewish anti-Zionist, honorary associate professor of philosophy at the University of New South Wales, Australia. He spoke about the ‘rise’ of anti-Semitism in Australia and the recent Universities Australia (UA) endorsement of the new controversial anti-Semitism definition. During this interview Peter, he inadvertently misquoted Randa Abdel Fattah's words in an interview she conducted with Mondoweiss. The recording [https://youtu.be/LuA59Tu6yZk?si=AeLd05JcUbTWT6l8] from 5:00-5:34 shows the exact phrase she used was 'Zionist Jews', not 'Jews'.  Randa has been consistent in using the words 'Zionist' or 'Jewish Zionists', and never referred to Jews alone.  In doing so she was making a clear distinction between those who subscribe to the political ideology of Zionism, and Jews as Jews.  Peter wants to emphasize he is a member of the Jewish community, and uses the term Jew to ask his Jewish kin to reflect and feel discomfort about the crimes being done in their name.
