The Israel lobby wrote itself a dictionary. Governments adopted it, regulators enforced it and police made arrests under it. Then it met a judge who required evidence, and it collapsed in an afternoon.

    Antisemitism, Fagan said, is simply “hostility to Jews for their Jewishness”. It is real, repugnant and must be confronted. Israel is a foreign state. Zionism is a political ideology. Neither is entitled to immunity from condemnation.

    Protecting Jewish Australians is essential. Protecting a foreign government from criticism is not.

    That quote needs to be shared around, that little bit of honesty, and logic needs to go a long way.
